A fool once tried to get a donkey to move, but nothing they did or said would move the donkey. That is often what happens in life. Trying to make something happen is a fool’s errand. You can’t change anyone else. You can only change yourself. In so doing, you show that change is possible, and when others see this they too are empowered to change, if they are ready.
After going through a period of change, whether rough or mild, the result is the same. Sit and take a breath. Sit and settle into restful calmness. Think upon what has been accomplished and with gratitude give thanks for safe passage through the period of change that was so necessary. All change is necessary but it may not be clear that this is so until much later. Sit awhile and give thanks for what you have gone through and how it has changed you. No, you are not the person you were before, and that is good!
With certainty of self firmly in place, with your heart centered and focused on your own growth and prosperity, set your foot down into the firmness of your life. And, as you claim your space in the universe and in your world, know that you are guided and protected in more ways than you can imagine. Open up to the truth that you are never alone. Ask for guidance and it will come. Ask for help and it will come. Ask to be shown what to do next and you will be shown. The answers may come in outlandish ways. You have no idea how spirit will speak to you each time you ask for something, but believe and trust that it will. Keep alert so you don’t miss anything!
To unfold into the self is to fearlessly embrace life, to fearlessly face each day, but most importantly to face the inner voices that hold you back, that tell you that you are not that important, that you don’t deserve, that you are not worthy. Those old voices travel the world looking for places to land. They attempt to implant in every mind, and they often do for quite a long time. But if you wake up to the fact that they are foreign voices whose only mission is to occupy an individual’s mind, taking over and wreaking havoc, then you will be prepared for them. Tell them, in no uncertain terms, to scram! Leave! Go away! Say it often enough and they will go. But the most important thing is to not give them room in the first place. Fill your mind with the beauty and bounty of self, with positive and nurturing words of wisdom and encouragement, for such words of love for the self will quickly push out any negativity and leave you feeling prosperous and grateful.
Embrace yourself a little bit more each day with loving thoughts, with kind words of encouragement and with the knowledge that you are on a most important journey, the journey of a lifetime. This is your opportunity to change, to become, to unfold and to accept who you truly are. Without fear let yourself accept the mission of this lifetime. You may not think you know what that is yet, but inside you do. You’ve just been afraid to truly become who you are meant to be. There are so many things that get in the way of truly becoming, but don’t let that stop you. Let your amazing self shine through, a little bit more each day, and as you get used to who that true self is, it will become easier and easier to fully embrace and fully become.
