“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
— Joseph Campbell
What is challenge?
Most of us see challenge as something to fear, as an obstacle that we must overcome and power through, or at the very least, something to merely endure. In either case, we ultimately miss the opportunity to grow. However if we can see challenge as an opportunity, an invitation to grow and expand into More of who we are, then we are much more likely to create the life we desire, for it is this very willingness to get out of our comfort zone that opens us up and delivers all that we profess to desire for ourselves. It expands our understanding of life and ourselves, it expands our confidence, and it ushers in self trust.
Change is Life. It is growth and it is inevitable.
However, with change, comes fear.
What is fear? Fear is seclusion. It is the mistaken belief that you are the chaos of your life, that you do not have the power to CHOOSE. It holds the need to reframe, to box in, limit and restructure the greater outcome to the smallest space set by your imagination.
Struggle is our greatest addiction. We struggle with ideas, questions, rights and wrongs, the toys of the mind. We struggle to be free of these limited beliefs and yet, in the same breath we struggle to hold onto them, for this is all we THINK we know. Fear is anxiety of what is unknown. Fear suppresses the choices that are available to you!
Gratitude is the polarity of fear. Gratitude is connected to acceptance. Allow each moment of fear to teach you how you may not trust yourself. Allow your fears to show you where your illusions about yourself lie. An important aspect of gratitude is trust, trust in yourself, as well as trust in the Universe. Trust is the guiding principle to help us in “showing up” to what the Universe offers. Trust requires acceptance. There is no fear of what might transpire, because there is trust that all is guided and supported and that if challenges arise, then they’re simply reminding you to stretch.
Remember: You are READY!
Trust is continually exhaling. It is gently releasing what you think you know about yourself, to become who you truly are. Trust is self love. And trust is a deep knowing that Life is in support of you!
