All Of It Is The Way
What if we could never get lost?
What if even the darkest corners of our journey are still part of our exact right path?
What if all the trauma, all the doubt, all the uncertainty and confusion, was the Universe guiding us into our highest selves, giving us opportunities to explore and grow?
This might be a tough pill to swallow, especially when the knocks of life are unrelenting, kicking you while you’re already down.
My past year had a lot of pain, grief and uncertainty:
The end of my long-term partnership with the person I thought would be my wife
Incredible business challenges that I never thought I’d be experiencing at this point in the game
10 weeks of so much physical and emotional pain due to diving deep into a therapeutic modality called The Presence Process
At times, all this pain and uncertainty felt like it was happening to me, as if I was being physically attacked.
This morning when I woke up, for the first time in a long time I could feel the light in my heart. That deep warm connection to God.
That eternal reminder that all of it, the entire human experience is happening for me, to help me grow.
I am grateful to be able to see now that so much of my pain over the past year was a gift. Even in those moments where I felt so far off my path, I see now that all of it was the path. All of it a gift to test my commitment and belief in myself.
It was God lovingly pinching my arm into reality, waking me up from being asleep in key areas of my life. Areas where I was ignoring, numbing, or closing my heart.
Yes, pain can suck.
And yes, pain can hurt.
But pain can also wake us up and give us a crucial reality check, especially when there is a misalignment in key areas of our lives.
What’s required here is faith: a deep knowing that we are loved, we are supported and we are connected to the deepest form of power. The Universe is working in miraculous ways to support our highest selves.
Are you currently experiencing pain in your life?
What if that pain was a wake-up call?
What could the pain be guiding you toward?
Big love,
