What can get in your way....

I was digging around my art room this morning and came across a journal from 8 years ago.

Such beautiful words, and insights were in there and it made me tingle to read it.
"Gosh I love this gal", I thought to myself..... about myself :)

There was something I wrote that I wanted to share, with all of you, that still gives value today.

Barriers to Having What YOU Want......


1. Ignorance
Not knowing what you could have or what's available to you- Do your Research!
Not seeking and allowing yourself to be inspired- Be Explorative!
Not knowing How to ask for what you want or Who to ask it from- Be Brave & Do your Research!


2. Limiting & Untrue Beliefs
We are conditioned by our parents, teachers, the world, our friends, etc. to limit ourselves
We believe that being Needy is a weakness instead of human nature
We believe it is better to give to others but not to ourselves
We believe that to ask for more is selfish
We believe that if we HAVE then another may have to be deprived


3.  Fear
As a result of our fears we become afraid to try.  We become passive and settle for less than we really want and deserve.  Fears keep us small and close the door of allowing.
Fear of rejection or abandonment
Fear of looking stupid or humiliation (failure)
Fear of punishment 
Fear of responsibility or obligation- losing our freedom


4. Low Self-Esteem
We will push away what we do not feel we are worth.  Self-love opens the door to receiving.  It says, "YES YOU MAY" and "YES YOU CAN".  Low Self-Esteem is rooted in #2- untrue beliefs.


So my question for you today- What do you want? And what on this list is possibly your closed door?

Once you know what your problem is, your resistance, you can open your mind to a solution.  FEARLESSNESS and SELF LOVE will always be the answer- no matter what the resistance looks like.

How can you become Fearless? Know who you are- a divine child of God, powerful and cherished- supported in all ways.  STOP believing otherwise- give power only to the truth.

How can you Love Yourself?  Know who you are- a divine child of God, powerful and cherished- so treat yourself as such.

Simple answers- y'up sure are.

Need a little help still?  Then this book is a must read- Dying to be Me by Anita Moorjani
My new favorite reminder of what's really true.

    Gosh I find myself struggling with #2 and #3 big time right now. This one: "We believe that if we HAVE then another may have to be deprived" and this one "We believe it is better to give to others but not to ourselves" kicked me in the gut when I read them.

      Shauntelle- glad you are looking into that "kick in the gut" because that's what those beliefs do to our self-esteem. Hugs.

I am a Witness to LOVE.  The Angel's Light is Entering the Scene (note if there had been a flash it would have reflected off of the stainless steel around the window- also note, that is not a sign to the left of the light) The Angel's Light Opening to Receive the boy- Carried by Christ into the light On Wednesday May 30, 2012 I was in the last train car of the Missouri River Runner, which had just left St. Louis and was headed to Jefferson City where my dear 18 yr. old son was going to pick me up.  We had taken the train down for the first time in 22 years- so that I could return my son's car to Wisconsin for him, while he flew his new airplane home. We expected no delays and a beautiful trip, even though that morning I had a quick premonition that we might hit a boy on our train ride.  The thought was painful and felt so bad that I quickly dismissed it thinking- "what an awful thing to think".  That thought later came back to challenge me, a

Wear your Cape & Crown

Image
I have a card that sits in my art room, that I purchased at Three Sister's Spirit which reads: I'm fairly certain that given a Cape and a nice tiara, I could save the world Now, aside from the literal translation- I love this card and it's truth because of what it reminds me about myself and my life. My "Cape" is my faith of a divine plan for my life.  I carry it on my shoulders as a sense of responsibility to myself and to my fellow souls on this Earth.  I know in my heart I am here with a very clear purpose and that my life will flow and carry me in each moment towards expressing that purpose.  If I enjoy it or not, it's my choice. I discovered my purpose in 2001 at my ministerial training retreat.  Our teacher had suggested that we go sit with God, alone, and listen to why we had been called to the ministry.  I admit I was afraid, not of hearing nothing, but of actually hearing something that felt too big, or heavy to take on. It wasn't

Are you wishing for "NO DRAMA"

Image
I was on a phone call with an old friend yesterday and she mentioned that she doesn't want any more "drama" in her life. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? Have you found yourself wishing for the same thing? saying the same words? I bet you've said it before........ but let me offer you another thought. When a client tells me they want "no more drama" in their life, what they are usually saying is that they want "no more conflict" or for things to be easy in their daily experience. Think about it- what are your really hoping for when you say, "no more drama"...... Are you saying, "I am tired of participating in these situations where there is difference of opinion" or perhaps, "I am tired of feeling the discomfort of things being in a state of change/chaos" Now sometimes, as we all have experienced, the drama is not our shit to deal with- it's somebody else's drama. And in those moments, we can ask
