Thought for the Day ~ A message for Spirit

Always do your best......and have the courage to stand alone in the wilderness. The courage and the willingness to be both vulnerable and strong as you navigate the peaks and the valleys of your life. It will be a great and continuous unfolding. Because the things that you have resolved in your life will need to be resolved again, and again. You will learn things that can only be learnt with the wisdom of age and the grace of years. Most of those things will have to do with forgiveness. They will have to do with the examination of your choices and the effect of them on your life. Most things will be okay eventually but not everything will be, and so acceptance becomes a small quiet room. ?A room where we must be willing to brave the wilderness, and the darkness in order to find our own light.

Transformation doesn't mean that you stop being yourself. Rather it demands that you find a way back to the authenticity and the strength that has always been inside of you. You do not have to plant yourself in life; you have to bloom. ?While fear may come along and try to stop you from living your life authentically; be courageous anyway. People may be intimidated by your strength, your light, and your power. Be courageous anyway. The one person that you must trust beyond all else, is yourself. That person is the gatekeeper to all the glory that life has to offer. Remember.... two emotions cannot occupy our mind at the same time, so if you are consumed with fear, you cannot act out of love. So, today, be still and listen to what feels right, not what's wrong. ?Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. Take a step-in faith. And so, it is. Namaste.

Brene Brown said "Belonging so fully to yourself that you're willing to stand alone in the wilderness; an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. The wilderness can often feel unholy because we can't control it. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it's the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand. The special courage it takes to experience true belonging is not just about braving the wilderness, it's about becoming the wilderness. It's about breaking down the walls, abandoning our ideological bunkers, and living from our wild heart rather than our weary hurt."
