What are you protecting?
What do you feel driven to bring into this world no matter what anybody else tells you?
What sense do you have that you have something like that?
Don’t let anyone put that fire out. The cool thing about this is that nobody can anyway. All they can do is burn themselves out trying. That means you can burn yourself out trying to extinguish your own flame.
Just a gentle reminder.
For today’s exercise, return to what we did yesterday with this understanding.
And ask yourself, journal, if you feel so inspired and inclined, to answer the question:
What are you bringing into this world that nobody before you has ever been able to bring in before? Not an invention, not an achievement, not something that is worthy of an award.
An energy.
An essence.
You might call it a feeling, but it is something more. It is the way you are. Maybe you sense it as a sort of inner force or drive, propelling you forward to learn and do and become something greater, even if you don’t have a word for what it is. Tap into that.
Today’s Bonus Content will include a video, an exercise of sorts to help you connect with that which your body is housing.
And remember, the greatest gift in life is the ability to enjoy what you have while you have it. “These are the good old days” is a phrase that I have been saying a lot lately. Especially during times of high stress.
I recommend that you practice saying it at every opportunity, ESPECIALLY when you feel the pull of obligations, finances, fear of failure and ruin all tugging at you from opposite directions. Remind yourself “these are the good old days happening right now”. It might be hard to believe. But someday you will look back on this time and think to yourself, or even say out loud, “wow, I really had it good back then and I didn’t even know it.” Just like you’re doing now with some other time in the past. Did you know those were the “good old days” when you were living them?
What has changed now? What are you doing today to safeguard yourself from looking back and seeing what you can’t see in ? Why not enjoy what you have while you have it?
I know you have your reasons. If you want to write them down, feel free to. But remember your main focus, what is driving you forward? What are you protecting within yourself that is worth protecting? What are you bringing that no one else on this Earth who came before you, who is here now, or who will come after you (even your own children or descendents), can bring to the table? What is unique to you? And how do you want to express it? How do you want to share it with the world?
The wise old Crone and Grandfather, Magician, they know the answer. They’re here to help you uncover it. Patience is more than a virtue. It’s an investment in a solid and stable foundation upon which to build your future.
