Today we're talking about the long game.
Stay focused.
Consider where you were a month ago,
A year ago,
A decade ago.
You are continually moving toward your dreams.
Some parts of your life create faster than others,
But everything is forming.
If you're not where you want to be,
Ask your guides why.
Your path may be different than you think.
The universe.
This is so useful to look back at where we were a year ago or several months ago or even a couple weeks ago and notice the things that we thought,
Perhaps the events that took place or whatever happened that we thought,
You know,
We just thought this is the worst thing ever.
How could this have happened?
This is just a failure or a trauma or unfair or whatever it is.
And most often,
And I want to be really sensitive because I know people have had really troubling struggles that are very difficult,
So if we take that extreme level of trauma out of this discussion for now,
We'll talk about that in a moment,
But for most of us the things in our life that fell away or didn't happen or were failures,
You know,
We got fired from a job or we lost a relationship or something else didn't happen or just all of these ways that we are disappointed,
We think we're disappointed in life and then we will look back and at least in my own life it's always been that when something fell away,
Even if I didn't want it to fall away,
It always turned out to be the best thing after some time.
It always turned out to be an event or an incident or happening that helped me to grow and really helped me to shift my understanding.
And you know,
I never really think about my life as being that dramatic because I live a fairly centered life.
I have a lot of practices where I'm working with the guides all the time,
Which really,
Really,
Really helps.
But I was talking to a person the other day and saying some of my experiences and she was like,
Wow,
You've really gone through a lot.
And I'm like,
Huh,
Oh yeah,
I guess I have.
And yet,
You know,
These things like when I got laid off from,
You know,
A company in the past,
And that turned out to be great.
When I didn't get into the program I wanted,
That turned out to be the best thing ever.
When this relationship broke up,
When I had an illness,
You know,
All these things.
And of course,
I know that all of you guys have had similar stuff,
All these disappointments or ways that we wanted it to be and it wasn't.
And it always turned out that was the lesson.
Or that was the circumstance that needed to fall away so the universe could nudge me or you to the highest possibility that was awaiting us.
And of course,
This idea,
You know,
If you're not where you want to be,
Ask your guides why your path may be different than you think.
And this is of course,
Whenever we're having these grandiose ideas,
You know,
Like,
I want to get this job and I want to be with that hot,
Sexy person and I want to make a ton of money and I want to be a influencer celebrity.
Okay,
So those are not those are not soul goals.
Those are ego goals.
Soul goals would be more like I want to answer my life's calling,
Or I want to fulfill my destiny.
I want to do my dharma for this lifetime.
So the universe may take some of these grandiose ideas or these almost like younger or immature ideas of what we're trying to create.
There's this idea that until about age 50,
We are building and building and acquiring and going forward in the human egoic way with our goals and dreams and then 50 on,
We're going back down the hill,
Letting go of everything that we thought was once that we once thought was so important.
The universe is really trying to get us to this place of understanding our true nature and of living in kindness and compassion to each other.
That's really that's what it is.
The rest is not particularly useful to us on our life's path.
The soul has a higher calling.
So as you're thinking about that,
If you're not where you want to be,
Ask your guides why your path may be different than you think.
We are always being guided to our highest possibility as souls.
If you're confused about what this is,
Go into meditation and ask your guides and spirit counsel and begin to hear the messages that will clarify this for you.
