connect to yourself

It is never too late to be who you might have been. - George Eliot

What triggers you? What can completely take you off of your center? For me it’s my brother. I love him dearly and yet no one has the ability to come into my life and mirror my insecurities like he can. Is it him or is it me? Ultimately it’s me. I am who I choose to be. I have the opportunity to try to figure this out for myself while he is here visiting. And yes he reads this so I am being an open book. We talk about it and I am committed to walking through it. It is work to break old agreements and old beliefs about yourself. I share this because it can be absolutely gripping at times and I want to shine a light on it.

We all have something that triggers us, ok many things that trigger us and if we are to get past anything, we first have to identify when it happens. And then maybe you can get to why it happens. We can’t just make the trigger go away. Really, it’s an opportunity to have a breakthrough. If we didn’t have the discomfort then we would never look at anything in our life. We would just move about like everything is ok meanwhile having a sense of disconnect or lack. We alone are the cause of our separateness in our lives. I feel like I need to say that again, WE ARE THE CAUSE OF OUR SEPARATENESS. Outside situations only have power on us when we give that power away. You can choose at any moment to be free. It is never too late to start living your life for you. You are no good to anyone else if your cup isn’t full. So don’t get caught up in what’s outside of you. Because what someone else is making you feel, is really your own feelings about yourself being amplified. No one can make you feel anything. It is in this place of realization that you are enough and you have what it takes that will give you your power back. What someone thinks really is none of your business. Your business is making your life count. Your purpose, if you choose to accept is to live your life fully expressed and continue to evolve.

Today, stretch and stretch some more. Stretch your body and stretch your mind.

Today I am grateful for so much love in my life.
