It’s Time to Wake Up! August 1, 2020

“The soul always desires that which will most reveal its true nature.”
The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte

When the world as we know it gets interrupted there are signs beforehand, indications, little things that we sometimes notice and sometimes not so much. But when it becomes obvious that things are different now, we know it. And what happens next is most important.

Placing our attention on what we want to feel, on our heart and the deep core feelings that are there to guide our senses, is powerful. This is different than the feelings that come and go based on external impulses. Those deep core desires are consistent throughout our life. And when we tap into those we feel a connection, an empowerment, and a clarity that fuels and guides our choices in a way that supports life.

That is not to say there won’t be uncertainty. Uncertainty is appropriate and valid. It’s true that with aliveness, there is nothing cast for certain because of free will. However, uncertainty is not the same as self doubt. Self doubt is subversive, it’s thick and heavy, it stops us like quicksand. Self doubt is not supportive or productive and needs to be recognized and addressed quickly. The presence of it indicates a need for self care, perhaps some of the basic needs have slipped or something at a deep level is not being tended and we are not trusting ourselves as a result. It might be stuffing our feelings of sadness or grief rather than asking for a friend to witness us. It could be not acting on those desires for beauty in our personal space or a shrinking back from speaking our truth when we know we need to.

True authenticity is a personal “super power” and it’s available and needs to be cultivated. It needs to be honed, sharpened, with intention. And when it is, you can feel it, inside and out. We become clear, open to what is, and boundaries are a natural result. To be operating from our own true authentic selves is to be in alignment with our true nature, our soul, and our spirit. 

Now more than ever, we are influencing the future for us all. We want to be in our best Self as we dream the future together. We are being called forward to meet ourselves in the present and tap into our innate strength of heart. Our ancestors have invested theirs in us today. No time now for coasting, floating along, waiting for things to change and hoping for the best.

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” – June Jordon

It’s time we wake up to our true authentic selves and the personal power that it encompasses. And together, there is more goodness possible than we could ever imagine separately.
