Impossible

I love the layered brilliance of this quote.

 

It demands a shift in mental perspective.

 

It requires taking ownership for thoughts and actions.

 

It is inspirational.

 

It is empowering.

 

As life continues to unfold and expand before me, a reminder like this is a powerful love nudge. Without fail, there is a seeming “lull” in the action before a big shift. Along with that lull comes the doubt, the fear and the overwhelm…at least for me.

 

When I am in the space of transition, I still find myself losing my footing sometimes and needing to re-center and ground myself. All sorts of fears sneak into the cracks and I feel a little lost. I notice that I worry about missing the signs or opportunities, which manifests in my body as holding and constriction. The extra effort to stay grounded and present overcompensate for what is actually needed, leaving me more stuck than fluid and flexible.

 

The flurry of self-doubt questions start to swirl: Did I make the right choice? What am I supposed to do now? Why isn’t this working? What did I miss? And the questions can bombard me all at once.

 

The saving grace is that the attack can end as quickly as it gets rolling.

 

All of those questions can be shifted.

 

In my studies, there is no right or wrong choice. It is simply a choice. I made a choice. This was the result. Now I get to use the information to serve my highest good. To be clear, some of the choices I make do yield uncomfortable results. However, there is still information within that result that can be used to serve my growth or the situation at hand…or both.

 

“Supposed to” carries a disempowering energy. It’s like handing over control to someone or something else. I have the choice as to how I respond to any given situation. I’m not “supposed to” do anything. My preferred choice is to tune in and listen. I always receive the guidance I need. Case in point, I just received an idea from an email I was scrolling down to unsubscribe from! As I was scrolling, the nugget caught my eye and I knew I was meant to see that and, in turn, utilize in a way that fits me.

 

“Why” questions help the rumination process, keeping me stuck. What I have found to be helpful when the “why” questions arise is to instead ask something along the lines of what is behind this or what do I need to understand about this situation. Both are more empowering than “why” questions.

 

In reality, I don’t miss any of the signs I am meant to receive in that moment. I wouldn’t know if I missed anything anyway so it doesn’t serve me to ask the question! If there was something that I was meant to gain, see, learn or understand, it will continue to present itself until I do. I believe that to be true.

 

I continue to be reminded that Divine timing is real.

 

Patience is critical.

 

Self-love is a requirement.

 

And as much as trusting in the process and in myself is important, it is also helpful to seek support…especially emotional support. Being present with the emotions that come up is important. It allows them to move…and to make space for love and possibility.

 

Things cannot make themselves impossible…
