Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
~Lao Tzu
To be truly awesome, it’s often critical to make space in your life for the awesome to come through.
Many of us have baggage that holds us back, tying us to old patterns or bad habits. So while we have the desire to be awesome in our lives, it doesn’t come easily.
Sometimes we’re conditioned by our life circumstances to be sad or negative or lonely or to be constantly expecting the other shoe to drop. Because perhaps that was the way you were raised or groomed to think, and you just didn’t know any better.
To be honest, this week I’ve had a rough time of it. Emotional all week. More than once on the verge of tears, even though I’d say in general I’m a very stable and upbeat person.
The old tapes were playing this week, due to some interactions I had. And they were playing loud.
But my life is different now. So much better than it’s ever been in so many ways. I’m surrounded by good people. And I’m wiser.
The anxiety and weepiness was so clearly just my conditioned sad, emotional response. I need to clear that shit out of my head and out of my life.
Maybe I need to take this very emotional time that I’m going through to just grieve for all of the things that I needed but didn’t get. Kind of get it out of my system as much as I can for now. Peeling away a layer of the onion.
And maybe I need to go down the negative path for a couple of minutes…like, what if everything goes wrong…then what?
Well, then I’ll cry a bit and get on with things and make a good life for myself as I have been doing. I will survive. I’ll thrive. And I’ll be awesome.
So clearly this is just about the baggage that I’m carrying around.
Maybe I need to set some of that down.
Perhaps you do, too.
Set down your baggage. Put down your sword and stop fighting against yourself. Make space in your life for the awesome to come shining through. Feel where you are today and figure out who you are and where you want to go. Begin to hear the music in your soul. It’s there. Waiting to be discovered.
