Living YOUR life doesn’t mean…

…that everything will be perfect, or feel good all the time.

Living YOUR life means that you live with integrity, i.e.,, in alignment with your (consciously chosen) beliefs and values. And these may differ or change from time to time as you grow older and (hopefully) wiser.

We often get confused when things we have consciously chosen don’t seem to go our way or don’t seem to work for us anymore. We end up thinking, “But why? since I’ve thoughtfully chosen it, it must feel good (all the time)”.

Well… it doesn’t!

And this “feel good all the time because I’ve chosen it consciously at some point in my life” belief creates an expectation we are called to consciously re-examine and reframe.

Because life is all about growth and growth can only occur through polarity and adversity. It is the challenges that life presents us with that expand us. It’s the next level of the game, the next peak of the mountain we are after as souls having a human experience.

And if that feels way too “out there” as a concept for you, that’s ok. You don’t have to buy into it. You can choose your version of what life is/means for you.

But to me, ultimately, life is about growth and expansion. It’s about the experience, the process of the ‘ride’. And that ride cannot be exciting and fun if it’s flat and constantly steady and predictable. That would be too boring! You need the ups and downs, you need the unexpected turns, you need the obstacles to overcome and rise out from stronger and wiser. This is when all the adrenaline and endorphins kick in.

This is life. This is any life. This is your life!

So get excited when things don’t go smoothly and according to plan. Rest assured that this ‘discomfort’ is here to expand because something new and adventurous is on the horizon. The next level of your life is being unlocked. The next challenge awaits.

You are moving in perfect alignment with your own unique growth curve! And that is amazin!g
