It’s Time to Make Choices

This is a time for choices. We can no longer sit idly by, tolerating.

Gone are the days of allowing things to unfold around us, knowing they aren’t right for us, but playing that game anyway because it seems easier that way.

Are you realizing it is NOT easier that way, after all? Life is a game, but over generations and through shifts in mass consciousness, the rules of life change. This doesn’t mean that “truth” changes. Truth is truth, regardless of how it is recognized or followed. Instead, what changes is our willingness – or ability – to play by the shifting rules.

What’s coming in the future? It’s not coming; it’s already arrived.

Living on planet Earth has changed, so you need to change along with it. You can no longer remain stuck. If you don’t make the changes you sense you need to make, life will push you around to force you to change.

You’ll be depressed, uninspired, constantly blaming outside forces or people, and waking up every day with a mental list of wrongs that need to be righted. You’ll find plenty of others to agree with you.

Hint: Don’t look for others to join with you in your upset. Instead, look for others who are not upset. Learn from them. Try a different way. Experiment with other possibilities. Doing what you’ve always done will dig your hole deeper. Reach out and up for what’s next.

What is constantly confronting you, is on some level, your own creation.

Pain is sending a message: hear, heed, and heal.

Treated with disrespect? You are giving off signals, somehow, that you are willing to be disrespected. Do relationships that initially seem wonderful turn around to bite you because you lacked the confidence or skills to discuss the warning signs when they first show up? Learn assertiveness and how to set appropriate boundaries. Just as you learn how to play the piano or drive a car, take time to learn how to communicate, speak up when necessary, or for some of us, tone down a notch or two so we can listen and honestly hear what someone else is trying to tell us. If you can’t shake a relationship, try to set aside blaming the other and dig down deep to discover what the other person is trying to teach you about yourself.

Difficult circumstances hold a precious insight.

The more often a type of problem occurs, the more certainty there is that something you do or think needs to change. Learn the lesson so that those experiences will stop knocking on your door. Repeated patterns of problems are a template - a belief - you have created and held onto stubbornly. Honestly assess what you do that reinforces those situations and commit to changed behavior. This will necessitate changing your beliefs, which is a challenge because there is nothing the human being is more attached to than their precious beliefs.

Beliefs are not truths. If they were, the Earth would still be flat.

People burned others at the stake to defend a belief that the public held dear. There are thousands of these tragic examples throughout history. What are you doing that is killing your joy, in order to protect false beliefs that don’t intuitively ring true?

Where you are right now is an amazing place to be.

How we interact with “now” determines how we experience it. We carry our “stuff” with us wherever we go. Changes in relationships, geographical location, new cars, different houses, or fresh employment will continue to reflect back the same frustrating and inhibiting circumstances until, and unless, we let go of our “stuff”.

Hint: you can’t reason away “stuff”. All the information in the world won’t change a thing until you change yourself. Being who you have always been will guarantee a life like you’ve always had. If that life no longer fits, let it go and create new options.

You hold amazing strengths and wisdom within.

It’s time to let old, outdated, confining beliefs go; set them free. Over the years I’ve mentored hundreds of people seeking to reach their personal potential. When people realize a new level of understanding, they proclaim, “I suspected that all along. I just wasn’t listening.” The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we aren’t worthy. We aren’t enough. We fail too often. Other people have a better life, do things better, and in comparison, we can’t measure up.

You weren’t born to waste this life; you were born to expand through new insights.

Hint: You win at the game of life by accumulating Insight tokens.

Choose to step up to your potential.

Stop wimping through life; you’re worth more than that. When you start validating yourself, you’ll find others stepping up to walk with you. Stand tall, get a grip on yourself, and go for it.
