Think hard if you may have subconsciously allowed someone else to hold the reins of your life. Losing one’s power is an easier alternative to accepting accountability and taking ownership of personal actions. So many amongst us feel trapped in situations when some awareness and honesty can effectively transform situations.
Being a victim in our minds automatically displaces responsibility, allowing anger, blame or frustration to seep in. It is a pattern that we hold on to and allow ourselves to indulge in, despite the fact that it may also be the source of much anguish and pain in our lives. It is truly a pity when the issues that need to be confronted are not as dire or insurmountable as we may have imagined them to be. What holds us back is always fear, some personal block that we are either unable to identify or are conveniently in denial of.
Acknowledging that there is a block is the first step. Being completely honest and sincere with oneselves is the the next. With awareness of our choices, and open-ness to new ideas, we can begin start transforming our situations – it requires letting go of old habits. There is no need for guilt in growth, no room for regret. One has to have sincere faith and genuinely know that the process is exactly what it is meant to be. Our circumstances are catered so that we may recognize and assimilate the lessons we need.
Moments when life seems harsh are those where we can no longer escape the change that needs to come. The harshness serves another purpose: it tests how grounded we are at our core, for ultimately, nothing should shake us. Being tough does not mean having a tough shell, remember that shells can crack. In tough times we need to tap into our source of wisdom, our inner eye. It speaks in moments of silence. Trust it. Know that this moment has a purpose and rise to the occasion.
The fear is only a hump and what waits for you on the other side is freedom. It is waiting for you to grab it.
