Are You Surviving Or Thriving?
It can be so obvious what your soul path is and what your essence wants to be expressing, but yet every part of you will busy yourself with wondering, searching, and repeating “I don’t know” when you ask yourself or others pose the question to you.
It blares at you from the inferno in your heart, but instead you throw blankets over it in effort to diffuse the life-changing truth, which only frustrates and stokes the volcano to erupt in triggering experiences to get your attention.
What is it that makes you skirt around yourself? How many people’s thoughts, beliefs, and judgments have you taken on? Do you ever take the time and heart to keep digging through the illusions and reaching a friendly hand out to fear in the shadows deep within you?
I believe the answers are clear, but the relationship we have with ourselves has been muddied.
There is no greater time than now to acknowledge the nudges.
No matter how many books, counsel, or seminars you consult, until you are ready to say yes to yourself, the search continues – that is, for at least as long as you can keep surviving the eruptions.

Tania and I have been corresponding in all sorts of ways about this very dynamic of people feeling a pressing urgency but refusing to address the most obvious elephant in the room. Doing so –deeply — makes all the difference in the world. So often, the “ugly” truth is exactly the territory that must be acknowledged and waded through in order to embrace glorious, beautiful freedom. Shadow work leads to light. Blessings and courage to everyone on the journey!

Am I used to surviving for so long that I have lost hope of thriving? I have transitioned a lot the last few years and still need to remind myself to not settle for what comes to me.
Our thoughts resonate once again Tania 🙂 I feel this is a reminder we have to revisit again and again. As we face the ups and downs of life, self protection and the comfort of the familiar can set in so easily that we actually begin to ration what nourishes our soul. I wrote about this at http://serenereflection.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/lifelines-and-why-we-cut-them-off/ You may find it interesting.

yes, we continue to tap into the same well of thoughts. it’s such a beautiful thing to experience the connectedness with others. what you share is so true, not just about the ways we lessen and avoid nurturing ourselves, but also that this is something to continue to remind ourselves of until the process becomes natural once again. xoox!!

This blog post from 3 years ago, today, feels perfect to reshare now, as the theme is prevalent and circling around again for everyone. This is the time to step up, embrace what’s in your heart, acknowledge and move through those shadow parts and fears, and be who you really are. The answers are there, the question is how long are you going to think you can keep running from them? We don’t have the luxury anymore in these intense and rapidly moving timelines to ignore things anymore. Sending you all supportive energy to have the courage to start thriving and sharing that example with the collective.
