Life Keeps Unfolding ...

Life keeps unfolding in the most extraordinary ways, whether we are trying to control the outcomes or not, Life just knows and is exacting!

So it begs the question...

Why do we put so much of our energy into and hold on so tight to, the idea of being in control?

This struggle is not new to me or you!

Over the years and even more recently I have become acutely aware, both personally and professionally, how life will show up and offer you the opportunity for growth and transformation.

Opportunites are presented to you all of the time, they require thought and processing with each decision and choice to be weighed, measured, then voted upon with action or even inaction. It's been my experience that where ever you are in accessing your own awareness with clarity, acceptance, and understanding of self and others will determine the ease of transition with the direction taken.

I know that sometimes when I have ignored all my red flags, my intuitions and used my logic mind or listened to outside influence only to direct my choices and actions, then the consequences have usually been quite dramatic, even taking me to my knees with shock and despair.

Yet, I also know as you listen to the whisper of guidance within, engage connection with faith and trust, that you hear the voice of universal guidance, and a peaceful resolution is discovered, often unfolding with a richness you could not have imagined.

Trust me when I say I like option two so much more!

I know I am not alone in noticing this year and even this month of March has been intense!

It is proving to be living up to the theme of the chinese year of the Snake - shedding the old and letting go of old ways, patterns, beliefs, relationships, careers, and pain bodies!

All of the above examples are opportunities to grow and transform the attachments or parts of our self, or life which have run their natural course of use and are ready to be released, so we can elevate our energy and align to who we want to become going forward.

But first let's remember the beginning...

Our true essence is open trusting, loving, joyful, kind, playful, carefree, light, connected and curious with innocence, awe and wonder.

Let your mind take you to a memory of being with a baby, puppy, kitten or any newborn animal. It makes you pause a little, reflect and connect - to the innocence you remember for self, right? I think it's the magic moment life always offers each of us to reconnect to Love.

I wonder what if we could maintain this original connection? I believe we would be filled with infinite energy, hope, faith, trust and love for self, others and all life - it might be a life of sunshine, rainbows and unicorns ;)

This all sounds wonderful right? So why would we try to control the outcomes, when we know the real magic is revealed in the unknown.

I think there are many reasons which intersect each other...

Our sense of self is shaped early on in life with our essence being underdeveloped to exist in this human experience. We immediately and unconsciously begin the process of out sourcing our sense of self. As we are dependent on others for our intital survival, we begin building the foundations of safety and security of self and the world around us through others. Our sense of self is being defined by the greatest influences around us good or bad, right or wrong.

This is a wonderful insight! As this means we are immediately presented with an opportunity to be liberated from our early story defining who we think we are, or who we were told to be, by consciously choosing who we want to BE today!

This opens the door to healing self... If we are currently not happy and feeling stuck with our life and are desperately trying to control the outcomes and minimise the fear and risks of future hurts, pain, struggle, loss, grief, poverty, abuse, shame and all uncomfortable feelings unexpressed.

This also means when we are experiencing too much life in struggle street surviving and can't make sense of it, we just might be acting out our inherited transgenerational patterns.

All of this holding on to the past, the old ways, the beliefs from conditoning believing it keeps us safe is exhausting, it drains our energy and internal resources to access our intuition, instinct and maintain true connection.

I have witnessed this ahah! revelation too many times for it not to be real and seen the powerful transformation of understanding and release people experience.

To ultimately take responsibility for yourself and let go of taking responsiblity for ALL and release the illusion of being in control for how life is presenting is empowering. Realising where you are today is no ones fault, it's not your fault, you are not broken, and you can choose to let go of the illusion of control.

You just didn't know what your unconscious wiring was creating and while appearing protective, familiar and habitual, it may also be limiting your true expression and contributing to your sense of unease.

Imagine just for this moment, what it feels like to step forward confidently believing in your

self.

Imagine choosing it's okay to live within your loving boundaries, release what no longer serves you, and that it's okay to prioritise your self care and it's safe to Be You!

To rewrite your own operation manual and actively choose the way forward that aligns with your heart's desires, your true essence and connection to self, source and life is invigorating, hopeful and purposeful.

Releasing the fear/control pattern allows the magic of the unknown and life unfolding to be exacting and meet us in the present moment, carrying us safely to arrive at the right place in the right time feeling whole and being a part of the extraordinary.
