Life experiences often create storylines and belief patterns, for this is our way of understanding the experience and making sense of what happened. Yet, all too often, such storylines can stifle and contain our true essence as we try to protect ourselves and avoid feeling that way again. Of course, not all storylines are negative in essence, but even positive ones can end up stifling, for they can dance and sway taking us away from being centred and feeling Whole; we can get lost in the dance and lose sight of the bigger picture and the journey home (to Self).
There are times when we need to face our storylines and lean
into them in order to understand them, but there are times when we need to
acknowledge them and set them free. Sometimes, trying to understand them
becomes onerous and draining, for we can become even more consumed by them in
the process. It is important to accept that these storylines have shaped and
defined our lives, but at the same time, it is important to realise that they
only continue to shape our lives if we allow them to.
Such a realisation is a big one, for once we can accept this
we can see that by changing these storylines, we can change the shape of our
lives. This is not a new concept, but it is one that so many struggle with; self-knowledge
and self-awareness is power, and when we open up to this and embrace it, we
stop being powerless pawns in the storylines of our lives and instead become
the author with pen in one hand and a fresh, crisp page in the other. Whilst
this doesn’t mean that we won’t face challenges or hardship on the road ahead,
it does mean that our perceptions of this have changed enabling us to realise
the true and majestic force of our strength, our courage and our Truth so we
can face the future with vision, power and love.
So, as we sit with
pen poised and ready to write the next chapter of our lives, we need to be
clear about what we truly want. Whilst many of us have ideas and dreams, goals
and visions, shaping these into something more tangible is important, for if we
cannot know what we want, how can we ‘write’ it into being? We all have
differing perceptions of abundance, happiness, joy, wealth and bliss, and this
is what makes humanity such a diverse and complicated heaving mass of souls.
Yet, it seems important now to have the courage to stand up tall in order to
declare our own vision of abundance and to connect to the intent of this vision
in order to give it shape, energy and form.
As we re-write the
story’s of our lives and let go of the storylines that no longer define us, we
can feel like a true part of the Universal Flow; we become One with it and
become it as we merge with the currents
and find our true state of being...
