Dear Lunar,
Aka full moon in Gemini, what is really good? Because from where I’m standing, there’s clearly a few things that are not. The energy over the last few days has been pretty dense and I’ve been finding it difficult to shift it. It just feels like there’s a pressure in the atmosphere and I’m trying to tread quicksand. One things for sure I learnt a long time ago that the worst thing you can do is to start panicking and struggling through it because trying to force your way through it will only make you sink quicker. #FlowDontForce
The revelation I got this evening though under the illumination of the moon was JUST STOP!!!
Stop trying to juggle everything. If all the balls are up in the air, stop trying to catch them. Catch what you can and let the rest fall where they may. You can’t control life and as humans we mess up every day when delude ourselves into thinking that we can. We finally start winning the game of life when realise we’ve ALREADY WON.
We are here, we are alive and our purpose is not to try and control the outcomes but to live in the FLOW of the experiences we attract and learn our life lessons for this incarnation.
And NO for the record I am NOT suggesting that we sit back and do nothing awaiting destiny to find us. Luck favours the prepared and Faith without works is dead. What I am saying, is that in the process of working out our journey and walking out our missions we have to be open to what comes our way and resilient in handling unforeseen circumstances.
The Hanged man is a tarot card that typifies this perfectly. It’s a beautiful depiction of someone learning the art of being still in the storm. For those of us in search of peace, one of the main questions we need to ask ourselves is “ …in a world full of chaos can we learn to remain calm?” (D.Sempa)
Easier said than done right??
The truth is I think our power comes from not allowing ourselves to be moved by the waves of others but instead honing our ability to STILL the waters for others. Or, the analogy that I prefer, ‘…learning to stand in the fire and not feel the flames.’
Easier said than done right??
Well no one ever said it was going to be easy just worth it. The reason most people don’t know peace or have power is because they are not willing to do what it takes. So I guess the real question isn’t why do we have to encounter problems but WHAT are we going to do to solve them? Because the reality is we are going to encounter problems whether we like it or not. There’s no way around that so therefore the better problem solvers we become the easier life will feel.
Challenges in our lives serve a purpose. They show up to teach us how to build the fruits of the spirit and how to build TRUE CHARACTER. The harder the test the more qualified you are to progress. As the main man TD Jakes so eloquently put it ‘If much is being asked of you, it’s because much has been given to you.’ Thank him for the trials….. It’s just training for you to be able to handle the size of the blessing that he is about to give you.
Everyone can have a dream, start a project, begin a new journey but how many can FINISH what they start?? How many have what it takes to manifest the things that they want?
This is what the Hanged Man is trying to teach us. When your whole world is turned upside down and life knocks you off or feet, can you just fold your arms, exhale and be open to a new perspective? When the going gets tough, when the goal post moves, when you’re not getting results, reaping the benefits or getting the praise you desire will you still stay COMMITTED?
Can you push past opposition? Stand firm in your decisions in the face of other people’s objections? CAN YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO EVEN IF YOU DON’T FEEL TO?
For those of you going through some challenges right now here’s some food for thought. What if you stopped trying to AVOID the storms and instead learn to navigate them? True strength doesn’t come from the ability to never be broken, bruised or take a loss, it comes from the position you are in when you NO LONGER FEAR any of the above because you know regardless of what happens you are STRONG enough and CAPABLE enough to sail through the storms and not drown.
STOP wishing it wasn’t happening or anticipating what’s going to happen and learn to do your best and surrender the rest.
We, are always only ONE DECISION away from turning our lives around for the better or for the worst what’s it gonna be????
YOUR CHOICE!!!
ALWAYS LOVE
