What is holding you back from doing anything? Literally, from doing anything you want.
It’s so easy to say that I’m stuck in my job or my marriage. I know a few friends that are “stuck” in their marriage. I know people that complain about their job. It is almost more fun or comfortable to complain about things. It is such a victim posture to blame others or a situation for unhappiness. I have been there. I am not there any longer. I am doing what I want in most anything I choose. Please don’t think it is not a daily practice for me. I have had to do work around this. I love my job and although I would love a life partner, I am single and very happy.
We get overwhelmed with fear about quitting what makes us frustrated or unhappy. This is not trusting God. We are worried about what others would think. I know someone who is worried about how a decision to leave his wife would impact her. She wouldn’t be able to make it without me he says. Maybe that attitude of superiority allows him to think higher of himself. Of course, that is arrogant and false self esteem. What would my life be if I left my husband? I am afraid I would lose all my money.
Are you trusting the Universe? Are you living in abundance? Are you living in fear of what others would think? My culture says that is wrong. I cannot question the Bible or how I was raised. I may be 50 years old, but what would my parents say or my kids? Will I get cut out of the will? I need my inheritance! I will just keep living like this. It isn’t THAT bad.
I am always reminded of Moses in the desert and the promised land. Like in the story of Moses, some were satisfied with what they found before they got to the promised land of milk and honey and settled for less based in fear … it was good enough. It was ok … not exactly what they wanted, but had some good things. Jesus said we are to have an Abundant life. Are we willing to LIVE an abundant life? Are we willing to have everything we want?
Our culture calls us selfish for wanting what we want and waiting for a fulfilling and satiating existence. We are to have everything we desire. Of course, we must have the intention of Love. Love for ourselves is manifesting a perfect existence. Are you not worthy of good things? Is that the issue that you are fearful and do not feel you deserve everything you want? These are healthy questions. Can you question authority? Doesn’t a father or mother want to give their children amazing things? How much more does a perfect heavenly father/mother want for us. (God is an energy, a vibration, a Spirit and doesn’t have a gender – no sex organs right?) Abundance means enough in all aspects of life, not just financially, but also financially. I used to overvalue money and feel those with exceeding amounts were in the wrong. Isn’t it funny how we compare our wealth to the average person in our culture, but if we compared our current state to an average person in the poorest of countries we would be filthy rich? It is just paper with ink and a value we choose to assign. Yes, we need money, but we are martyrs if we choose to live with less than we need. Is that comfortable to you to be a martyr?
Are you afraid of making a mistake? Mistakes are here for us to learn from. Our culture gives judgment to mistakes. Oh, did you see what he did … he totally screwed up. Don’t be like him! Our media makes a lot of money from putting people on a pedestal and then highlighting how they fell and how bad they are. Mistakes are the only way we learn. If we just do what we are told without questioning, then we operate in fear. Obviously, there are some things that just make sense to the extent that I don’t kill those that irritate me …. although, I have considered it.
A mantra or chant of mine is that I am worthy of ANYTHING I want. As long as I am choosing in Love and not fear, I can have what I desire. Maybe we need to question why we shouldn’t have all that we desire? Maybe we should question what selfish means? “But it is more complicated than that!” Is it? The more you rationalize your reasons for not having what you want, the less your light shines and the lower your vibration. Maybe this is where Jesus spoke of being child-like? Adults live a “complicated” life. We allow ourselves to be held back, not situations or cultural norms. Nothing really holds you back from anything except you. We are in choice every moment. We can suddenly decide …. I don’t want to do this anymore. I trust God to provide for me as long as I am in flow with my Path and choose in Love for myself and then I will love others. Those we see that do this are heroes and movies are made about them. We marvel at their boldness and strength. Don’t you want to be a hero and strong and bold. We can do hard things with the backing of our Creator that nothing can hinder. You can have anything you want and you deserve it because you are a worthy child of God.
