Struggle clarifies what’s truly important and worth pushing toward. The commitment to keep taking the next immediate step and keeping your eyes on the prize is rewarded by the Cosmos. When you stay the course, real magic happens.
The trick is learning to not let struggle and challenge leave you feeling defeated and despairing, to learn to face life as an adventure and to not let challenge and struggle cause you to feel as if you’ve failed. What if the “struggle” in your life is something your Soul called forth to help you grow and deepen your conviction and purpose?
Perhaps what the full moon is calling us forth to release is not struggle, but our resistance to struggle. I believe that struggle teaches us to persevere and to know that the adventures in our life deepens our ability to transform life into a meaningful journey.
We are deepening the collective ideas about what is truly valuable and worthy of creating with the challenges we face. This past year has been the perfect example of that…
Sometimes the journey worth taking is the one that has the potential to be painful, wrought with struggle, or has the risk of failure. If this weren’t true, we’d never get married or have children. We’d never try something new and exciting. We’d never push towards fulfilling our true potential.
I’ll leave you this week with an affirmation to contemplate with this Full Moon vibe we’re in:
I am here to push the boundaries of life and what is possible. I thrive in situations that challenge me. I am an explorer on the leading edge of consciousness and my job is to test how far I can go. I embrace challenge. I am an adventurer. I share all that I have learned from my challenges with the world. My stories help give people greater meaning, teach them what is truly worthy of creating and inspire people to transform.
May the road rise up to meet you and teach you.
From my Heart to Yours xoxo
