In the end, the Truth will prevail. That doesn’t mean it’s always pretty. In times of struggle, there are those who will choose to survive and those who will choose to sacrifice for the sake of the greater good. This happens in life all the time. Me? I’m a big picture kind of person. I fight for my clients’ lives sometimes harder than they do. And I do same for the people I love. I know many of you do too.
Here’s the point I want to make, though. The fight and the sacrifice? There will people in your life who don’t understand the sacrifices you make because they don’t look like the norm. The won’t understand that for you, the choices you are making are truly life or death situations.
They have no clue as to just how painful the sacrifice is for you, that making those sacrifices are the only chance you have of living. Because they can only see things through the lens of their small-mindedness which has been created by fear and their lack of belief in themselves. You need to remember that….and you need to remember that you haven’t walked in their shoes either….
Your job, my beautiful friends, is NOT to try and change their minds. Your job IS to keep yourself from feeding their fear because when you do, you are giving them power at the expense of your Power. Your job is to live in your Truth. And at first, there’s a good chance that the best you’ll be able to do is just survive. But, you will get stronger and soon you will begin to thrive.
At some point in time, you will not recognize the man or woman you were when you made the initial sacrifice. Instead of other people’s judgments of you sticking to you until you have so many layers on you that they feel like a mantle of cement that’s so thick You. Cannot. Breathe….. they will be nothing more than a speck of dust on your shoulder that is quickly and easily flicked away.
Instead of being a being a self-righteous person who is out to make the world pay for your unhappiness, your feelings of insecurity, powerlessness, and feeling like you are less than everyone else, you will:
RISE UP IN YOUR POWER
STAND IN YOUR TRUTH
BE IN INTEGRITY WITH YOUR VALUES
LIVE FROM REAL LOVE….NOT the manufactured kind that tv tries to sell you.
I’m not saying you’re going to turn into some kind of perfect being who always makes the right choices, who never gets angry, who never feels hurt or sad….if you did that, you wouldn’t be human.
However, you will be able to go to sleep at night knowing you’ve lived each moment of every day truly being the best person you can be. As opposed to being the type of person who goes to church on Sunday and spews venom, hatred, and judgment the minute they walk out the door.
And while you will not become a doormat or accepting of their behavior, you will have compassion for them because you can see just how powerless, lost, and loveless
they feel….and you will see that despite their bravado, they don’t really believe in or trust themselves…..and when you get there, they will no longer have any power over you.
You will act from your Truth, Love, Power, and Divinity and you won’t give a shit that they think they won the fight because you will KNOW with every fiber of your being that you won the War.
This is my promise to you.
