Envy

When I feel envious it’s such an odd feeling. I never know what to do, but then I remember that the feeling is calling my attention to something else. It’s a reminder to not only be more mindful of negative thoughts towards myself, but to find what part of myself I’ve been neglecting. Envy shines a light on things I’ve been missing or mistreating within myself, but I have to be open to this instead of sitting in it and allowing it to rip me apart. Typically envy and comparison go hand in hand and it’s normally a sign to step back and love and appreciate myself more. As well as be more mindful of what I’m consuming that leads me to these thoughts.

Expand

Don’t be afraid to let your vision expand. You don’t have to stay in one spot. These are steps to push you higher. Keep moving up. Don’t look at it as incompleteness or failure, it’s simply you transcending and building on to your core vision. 

[shineshani]

Beneath

Stop living beneath yourself.

Guidance

You have divine guidance at all times. You only need to get still enough to seek and listen. Then act. It’s all right there. It’s all within.

Patterns

At some point you have to acknowledge the patterns of your life and then either respond with acceptance or action to change the patterns that don’t help you.

Wanting to be around people that are consciously on their spiritual journey isn’t a bad thing. It can be seen as judgmental, but it’s really just protecting your own spirituality and space. People that lack faith or have a broken relationship with a higher power aren’t bad people. Sometimes those of us on our journeys have the power to help others on theirs too, but when their journey begins to negativity affect yours you have to raise your vibration. Sometimes this means distancing yourself from those people. We’re all on a spiritual journey whether we believe it or not, and some may have a hard time understanding that there is an all powerful force that affects and links us all together. Accepting and loving these people is necessary, but never feel obligated to risk your own spiritual alignment with those who do not understand. You are simply on a different path and that’s okay. There’s no shame, only love.

I think everyone has to come to a point where their wants/desires must align with their actions. To get to this point you have to have clarity and vision. You have to be truthful and intentional too. It also takes a lot of faith and courage too.

I feel better alone. Although having someone add to that feeling would be nice. I’m not sure of what I want, but I can tell when something feels right or wrong. I have to have faith and trust the flow of my life.

Trinity Prayer - Ottis Moss

Give me the courage to let go of my baggage. Give me the strength to get rid of the props I think I need. Give me the courage to let go the past and the familiar so that you can fill my life with new things. Have trust in the Lord that he will fill your life. Let go of the fear, doubt, and the things that hold us back and block our view of you. Let go of anger, hate, and unforgiveness so the Lord may fill you with better things.

I keep thinking about the importance of being present and acting as if all that I seek has already been done. But then I think what? What am I actually after? It's not just money. Or space. Or clients. Or travel. Or any of these external things. It really is internal. I don't want to get the external desires without my internal issues being managed. And what if that's actually the key to the external. Sometimes I think I really do have all that I'm looking for but I'm too miserable and caught up in how things look to actually enjoy and appreciate them.

When you see that people don’t appreciate or value you that’s when you have to appreciate, love, and value yourself even more. Don’t allow their perception of you to damage the work you’ve done on yourself. Their treatment of you is simply a reflection of who they are, but you can use their mistreatment to call attention to what you may need to do for yourself. What needs to be done on your end? What do you need to do to raise your vibration to attract the right people to your life? Spend time with those that value you and match your vibration. There’s always self work to be done. Embrace this and grow through it.

My life goal in all that I do is to influence, encourage, guide, and support people to live their best lives while creating and living my own.

Different people inspire and speak to different parts of you. I’ve come to notice and embrace this. But what’s truly beautiful is finding those that speak to and nourish the best parts of you, and accept you fully. Flaw and all. No limitations. No restrictions. To be loved and appreciated holistically and authentically. That’s a true gift.

6/2/17 - Part 1

And I think above all else, remain open to the possibilities of your life. When rejection, pain, and disappointment enter your life look for the opportunity in it. Accept it, but always remain open to what these things might bring you. More time alone? More time for self care? A chance to focus? A chance to travel? For all you know what appears to be a setback may actually be a set up for something amazing.
