Accepting the truth

The hardest thing to do, sometimes, is to look in the mirror and acknowledge your mishaps. It can get so easy to look at what has happened around you and who is at fault for the problem, and ignore the role you play in what may have happened.

This unknown wave of actions is what typically puts us in similar situations over and over again…. because we do the same thing; expecting something different.

What are some of those traits that you carry into work and relationships spaces; that may not work well with others?

These are questions we have to ask ourselves if we really want to ascend to something greater.

I’m saying this not from a place of authority; but a place of humility and understanding. I understand that I too, have been a transgressor before and allowed the actions placed upon me to be a martyr for my reaction. When in the reality, life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react.

How we react matters most… and it’s time that we take responsibility for the roles we may have played in some of our life’s mishaps.

Once you take notice, I want you to burn the list and make a conscious effort to move forward from those negative traits.

Let’s not allow ourselves to be slaves to our lower selves… I want that for us all… so we can keep living out loud!

WHY YOUR GROWTH IS BEING STUNTED!

Have you ever just sat and asked yourself, what is wrong with me?

Why are so many things not going in my favor?

What am I doing wrong?

Many of us ask ourselves these questions often. There is nothing wrong with asking ourselves these questions, if we are asking from a place of growth.

Not everyone reflect on the past as a way to grow and get better; but as a way to beat themselves down for what happened… as a way to feel bad for themselves and relinquish guilt through projecting.

Then…. next thing you know…

The same thing happens again…..and again…. and AGAIN!

The reason why, is because you never really did the shadow work to begin with. Instead of getting better, you complained and swept it under the rug; BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T THE PROBLEM? Is that what it was?

Next time you find yourself in unsettling circumstances, take a moment to look in the mirror and look deeper than the surface. Don’t just look at what you are doing wrong, but applaud all the things you are doing exceptional. Don’t just beat yourself up, but allow yourself to level up. Don’t just blame other people, take accountability for what YOU did.

That’s the only way we can stop the madness!
