Willingness

While most people tend to think of themselves as open-minded individuals with trusting and faith-filled hearts, the truth is that each of us carries unresolved parts of ourselves that can cause us to shut down, become afraid, and sometimes even immovable. While it is often easy see others clearly – to see where they are going wrong, and what might make them happier in the long run, it is not always so easy to find the solutions to our own problems.

We have to understand that this is the natural course of healing! When we fail to see the light, or cannot yet recognize how to exit our own inner turmoil, it does not mean that we have failed. Instead, quite the opposite is true…in moments of overwhelming intensity, it means that we have finally stopped pretending that everything is okay, and have started taking the necessary steps towards reclaiming lost parts of ourselves. Every time we are successful at bringing another grievance to rest in our hearts, we are one step closer to becoming whole once again.

When we find ourselves feeling lost or unable to move forward, it is simply a sign that sincere change is required of us. We are being encouraged to let go of old programming that is no longer appropriate, and instead to seek out parts of ourselves that are in development and sprouting new wings. We are sacred beings filled with significant purpose and hopefulness. We are meant to be on this earth to thrive, flourish, learn and to grow. Facing unresolved aspects of ourselves reflects true courage. While not always easy to remain in a state of total vulnerability, it is how we emerge effortlessly out of our pain and suffering. For with no resistance, we no longer have to work at maintaining and protecting our self-created identities. Instead, we can surrender with purity to divine love, comfort and guidance, and willingly follow our paths home.
