Are you feeling it?
There is rage walking the streets out there!
Rage is what happens when anger marinates
in self doubt and self pity.
When you just feel so bad about yourself,
that you take it out on the world around you.
Rage is always pointing the finger outward,
when the spotlight should really be pointed inside,
because THAT is where the pain lives.
Rage has a partner,
Victim hood.
Man! they are a nasty pair!
They skulk around in dark corners
feeding each other stories of woe,
justifying all their bad behavior,
and never letting the light take hold.
When you see someone in the grip of rage
the best thing you can do is walk away,
disengage.
Do Not try to argue or rationalize.
They are not rational.
They really cannot be reasoned with.
Remember who is whispering in their ear.
The most courageous thing you can do
is smile.
Not a condescending, “you’re crazy” smile,
but an “everything’s gonna be okay” smile,
from the heart.
If you know the person, and they are someone close to you,
a hug.
Yes, we said it,
a hug.
an arm around the shoulder,
any loving touch.
Because love is rage’s Kryptonite.
Rage evaporates in the presence of real love.
It can no longer hear the negative self talk,
it is out of the mind, and into the heart,
where self doubt,
self pity,
and victim hood
cannot reside.
Don’t be afraid of rage,
even your own.
Now that you know it’s roots,
have compassion,
and get to the “heart” of the matter.
You may be feeling confused,
but really you are not.
That feeling comes when you question where you stand,
as if something about it is wrong.
Listening to your head, your intellect, can lead you astray.
Listening with your heart will always set you straight.
When you feel confused, the universe, your navigation system,
is letting you know you have gone off course.
You know those maps you all look at on your phones while driving?
Ha! that is a lecture for another day!
Anyway, you all do it.
It has your destination as a red dot,
and where you stand currently as a pulsing blue dot.
Now you know how you feel when you’ve driven
past or around the red dot destination?
And you, the blue dot, keep moving away from where you want to be?
You feel a little confused.
Did you make a right turn when you should have gone left?
That feeling of confusion is just what happens when you
get off course.
It usually happens when you over-think the directions,
and doubt the validity of where you are.
All that is needed is a little course correction
and you’re back on your way.
You were never really lost,
nothing was ever really wrong,
and you can thank confusion
for getting your attention
and guiding you back to your path.

Love this opening
Do You know why they have that saying
“Blind Ambition”?
Because in their desire to achieve,
some people have blinders on to everything
and everyONE around them.
This has been the casualty of many of the great minds and leaders
throughout history, and your present day is no different.
In their run up the ladder of success,
In their desire to succeed,
In their drive to be more and have more,
they lost their humanity.
It is really so easy to be kind.
To see the needs and wants of those around you.
It takes great effort to lock away your emotions,
to become literally blind and deaf to what is really going on around you.
They may insulate themselves in their ivory towers, but
in their hearts they know the truth,
so it takes great energy and effort
for their soul to remain so callous to the plight of others.
Luckily this is changing.
The energy is such, that many of the new souls
that come in with a dream for success are tempered
with heart, with human kindness.
We’re not saying that blind ambition will perish from the Earth all together.
There will always be those that strive to succeed with blinders on.
But what will start to happen, is that no one will want to work for them.
No ones self-esteem will be so low that they will tolerate
being demoralized.
So these people will reach some level of success, but not the great heights
of the past,
and certainly not public service.
Those in public service are going to start to be held accountable,
and they will be reminded who they work for,
so their ambition will develop great sight!
Success at the expense of others,
it won’t work, their ideas will never get off the ground.
So blind ambition, success,at ANY cost,
will become a thing of the past.
Living fearfully, is a bad habit.
You have a tendency to find the chaos inside even the
most lovely and serene moments.
You walk thru your life with a dark, heavy coat of worry
on your shoulders.
It has a hood that obstructs your view,
which worries you even more, because your mind is left
to fill in the blanks…
and that is NEVER good
You worry, because you want to stay vigilant, prepared.
You think this keeps you ahead in the game,
when quite the opposite is true.
We are guiding you out of that pattern,
because that is all it is,
a pattern that you have become accustomed to.
The outside world seems to have adopted this same pattern,
and appears very chaotic, which keeps you off balance,
which starts the worry cycle, which begets more
chaos…..and there go! down the rabbit hole!
Ok
So you say, “I want to change that”!
and we are here to help.
But…it is going to take some mental elbow grease,
so to speak, at first, to break that pattern.
You have to shift the energy inside,
which you all know is the start of every change.
You know that because you have read all the blogs,
and are really really, really ready! 🙂
So
You lift your energy by sitting still and appreciating
any serenity.
Appreciate your breath,
appreciate your heart beating, keeping you alive,
appreciate the fact that you can choose a new path,
appreciate all the tools and wisdom that you have at your disposal,
look for anything that feels calm, serene.
Appreciation and gratitude for WHERE YOU STAND
will start to raise your energy,
and the chaos and worry coat
will fall off your back.
We know, you want a more involved solution,
but we’re telling you,
it really is that simple.
Change your pattern of worry and chaos
by practicing appreciation for even the smallest
pieces of peace and serenity you can find,
and live full moments inside that oasis.
When you do this, they will start to multiply
they will start to get your attention,
Let them
that is where your new path will lead
To serenity inside the chaos
Have you noticed how your life will get your attention?
Your soul, the higher part of you that is still connected to Universal
energy, knows what you want.
It knows all your hearts desires.
The part of you that is here on Earth, living and breathing,
sometimes you can get in the way of these plans.
Even if every cell in your being wants to zig…
you will zag
and feel awful!
That is when your soul, tries to get your attention.
It’s mission is to redirect you back to your desired path.
It will start with a whisper.
Thoughts or conversations that gently uncover
your true feelings, and sometimes,
that is all that is needed to set you straight.
Sometimes you get so far off the path,
that the tug on your sleeve gets even more urgent.
A job change, or move of location, even the end of
a relationship.
Those events can take you and actually turn you around,
back in the direction of your hearts desire,
IF you are able to stay out of anger and resistance.
But, if you fail to get introspective, to stop and listen
to your inner most voice,
That is when it may turn to a scream.
Something that REALLY gets your attention!
You get fired
You get very ill,
Your house burns down,
You get the picture.
The scream is so loud and so life altering,
that you have no choice but to stop moving and just listen.
Take stock of where you are and what you REALLY want.
That was the job you gave to your higher self that stayed behind.
“When I loose my way, get my attention, and set me back on my path”
So now that that is clear,
which will it be?
A whisper?
or a scream?
You have embarked on a sort of
spiritual scavenger hunt.
That is the fun way you can look at it!
You came here with a list of attributes,
experiences and “Ah ha’s” ,
each of which came with different people you had to meet,
and places you had to be at along the way.
You have a limited amount of time (your lifetime)
You have the desire
and you have the list in your head.
You really do!
It is actually encoded in your soul,
but you can remember it if you are quiet
and listen.
Sometimes you will just know you are on the right
track to an item on your list.
You can FEEL it!
Everything lines up perfectly,
you are in the right place at the right time,
the right people show up, as if by magic,
and you get those butterflies of excitement
in your stomach as an affirmation.
Just like in any scavenger hunt,
you ask for help, directions, and clues
along the way.
You would never take your list and try to go it alone!
You would never ignore the clues and disregard
the directions!
It’s supposed to be a challenge,
finding all these clues and having all these experiences.
But it is a game,
and it can be so much fun… if you let it.
Lighten up about it!
Treat it like that child’s game,
that scavenger hunt, filled with intrigue
and excitement and a sense of wonder.
What “Ah Ha ” lies ahead of you today?
Who will cross your path that has a clue?
Will you engage? or will you try to go it alone?
Take their hand and run like children
toward the next surprise!
This game is always better played with friends!
