Through
the darkness of our souls journey, there are precious moments not to be
skipped, rushed through, or dismissed. Dive deeper and allow for the moments to
educate you for there is always an opportunity. The light can be magnificent if
you allow it.
Embrace
detachment. Embrace the shadows of your
existence. Shadow’s can be so many
variations of your personality you dislike or feel you have no control
over. The “her” that comes out when not
getting needs met. The “him” that acts
arrogant when challenged on something unknown.
Embrace “him” or “her” and truly ask, “what do you need?” From there, detach the “need” to control and
manipulate your animus within yourself.
Make friends with your shadow. Stop
bifurcating, fragmenting, and downright being mean to your self. If you don’t have awareness and change the
pattern how will you attract others into your life that are not doing the same
thing?
Be
attached to your self-love, acceptance, and courage to give what is
needed. Honor all aspects of you. See yourself as the flower with many petals,
not just one or two, or the phoenix that spreads all his feathers, not just a
few. Rise up out of the fiery pit of
your self-pity, loathing, or narcissism and be truly authentic. Embrace all of YOU in awe.
Ashley, this is so beautiful and right on path with much of my life's history. Life is way too short to live passively rather than actively embracing all of our wholeness of being, light and dark. And yes, patience, patience. I was just having a discussion with a close friend of mine about patience. Everything does seem to happen in God's time (the Universe's time) and certainly not mine. And in retrospect everything always seems to have happened at the perfect moment. I love you and thank you for being so vulnerable, authentic, courageous, and compassionat. You are a true inspiration.
