Lately, I've had way too many conversations with folks who seem to be more aligned with their ego (patterns in life and personality) than with their destiny (new emergence in alignment with soul and Divine Plan).
In the paraphrased words of Virginia Satir, "We seek not so much to survive as we do to stay in the familiar."
Often this subtle, but deeply profound agreement we make to stay in the certainty of the familiar (even if it is undesirable) is unconscious to us. Embracing the uncertainty of what will feel "unfamiliar" as destiny unfolds in our lives can be a little (or a lot) scary.
But, we know that "the who" that makes the new commitment will not be the same person who celebrates all that manifests as a result.
And what do you really want? We've all heard the phrase "Familiarity breeds contempt." This applies to our own lives as well. Why? Because we are here for two massively important shared reasons:
1. To Evolve in Consciousness and Support the Evolution of Humanity
2. To be of service to our Divine Purpose and others that we've pre-agreed to support on their own quest for purpose and evolution.
How do you know the difference between EGO and SOUL Based Manifestation?
Although I may simplify this explanation for the sake of keeping it to a blog post, as opposed to a book, ultimately, it comes down to four main things:
1. The quality of the emotions or thoughts that dictates your decisions (fear vs. faith, excuses vs. empowered choices)
2. The intensity of that quality and the EXPECTATION it fosters within you.
3. The patterns of manifestation that don't resonate with you
4. The patterns of hiding, procrastination, or excuse making that keep you stuck in the undesired manifestations that are becoming painfully familiar!
YOU HAVE A CHOICE!
Right now, more than ever, you are being challenged - in some profound ways - to come back into alignment with a destiny you were born to.
I ask that you think about this and contemplate on what is truly emerging as a HUGE opportunity for you right now.
MY OWN HUGE AWAKENING
Recently, I had a huge awakening of my own. I realized, through some icky conflict I was experiencing, that I had stepped out of integrity with my soul path and had allowed fear to govern how I was showing up in one of my relationships.
As a result, I held back on making some new decisions and commitments for almost a full year! My fear of rejection - or rather, rocking the boat in this relationship, caused me great pain. Drama, and even some gossip, which I really DON'T LIKE, like, seemed to be a major theme no matter what I did - or said.
It wasn't until I released my attachment to the relationship, and all of what I initially thought of it's potential, that I was able to truly see a destiny that had CLEARLY been waiting for me to say yes to some things and no to many others.
Bottom line, I was being asked, nudged and prodded (in sooo many ways, in so many directions) to ALIGN with my Destiny and make some important decisions. Of course, it required me to examine my own excuses and do some forgiving of myself and the other person.
MY LIFE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!
An interesting thing happened right away. The week I made new commitments to myself and took some much needed action, I received some heavy confirmation that I had come back into alignment.
The first thing I noticed was a sudden increase in my business and I received the opportunity to work with 6 new clients in about a 24 hour period of time. I bursted in the creativity department and released a new cd. We also found a perfect space to begin a new weekly live event (at absolutely no upfront cost and NO RENTAL FEE!!!) with my husband.
Attendance at another weekly event we host doubled and several new people called to join us. Two of my kids reached out and asked me to help facilitate some healing with them. And, I was invited to go on two vacations, with my family, for absolutely free!
What does all of this have to do with you?
Recently, in some preview and integration calls Lorraine and offered (you can get the free downloads at www.powerofmyway.com/unfetteryourdesires.html) we shared a quote from one of my favorite mentors, Dr. Stephen Covey.
"You are perfectly aligned to get the results you get."
This is HUGELY important to contemplate absent of the temptation to give yourself a hard time.
It is not about blame. Rather, it is about taking responsibility for the choices you can make to create a totally different reality.
