To act or to accept?
I will be honest, at first thought, I believed this was a choice we needed to make in every situation. After further consideration however, I believe that acceptance and action go hand in hand.
First, I need to have an unconditional acceptance of what is, a daily surrender to God's will, if you will, then I need to act accordingly.
Sounds simple, right?
The complicated part is stepping out of the way. How do I do that? How do I hear God's will? How do I let go? Am I surrendering properly? It all comes down to faith and trust. Ask yourself, how much do you trust your true self? How much faith do you have in God (or whomever you choose to believe in)? Can you ask for guidence, LISTEN and then follow your intuition? Your gut feelings? Your God spot? We all have it in us. Will you trust it?
This was a struggle for me for years, I have always been very intuitive but acting on that inner knowledge was a completely different story. I NEVER took loving action. I denied my true self for YEARS. Plagued by fear. My true self was screaming to be heard but my ego was running the show. This lead me to accept all sorts of bullshit, to deny my dreams and to never think I was good enough. It caused me to be impulsive and to take unloving action. When my ego is in charge of my thoughts and actions, it's almost always aggressive, very unloving and something I regret doing later.
The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way. The moment we start taking LOVING action, the first time we listen to our gut feeling, the moment we start standing up for ourselves, the moment we start following our dreams and telling our egos to shut the fuck up, we start telling ourselves a different story. That we are worth it and that we can do it!! YOU can do ANYTHING you put your mind to when you are in alignment with GOD aka LOVE.
I have wanted to write for years, I have dabbled in blogging here and there but I ALWAYS let it fizzle because my ego said to me 'you'll never amount to anything' and I believed it! I currently want to write a book, but again, I find myself letting my ego (which is the voice of fear in my head) talk me out of it! Part of me moving into the solution and taking loving action is writing this blog right now. I didn't want to but I PROMISED myself I would. My ego is telling me this blog totally sucks but I'm going to publish it anyway!
I am giving myself a beautiful gift right now by WRITING AND PUBLISHING THIS BLOG ANYWAY. I am taking ACTION. I am changing my story. I am telling my ego to step aside.
I believe that being a peaceful observer of our thoughts and feelings is key to a happy life, and then from that place of unconditional acceptance we MUST take LOVING action to respect ourselves and honour God's plan for us.
It has been my experience that I ALWAYS know exactly what to do if I get quiet and listen for guidence from God and the Universe.
Can you tap into your Higher Power today and then take some LOVING action?
Ask God (or whoever/whatever you believe in) to help you set a goal today and then follow through, no matter what. Even if you really don't want to. Let's start writing a different story.
I am thankful for the ability to step into loving action today!
I trust myself!
