You know,
The thing with the journey is sometimes when we're feeling the worst,
We're doing the best.
You know,
We all know about the duality of the agony and the ecstasy.
Well,
Often when our experience is agony,
It's the ego that's in agony,
And the soul is in ecstasy because we're finally breaking through some of our patternings that may have been holding us stuck in patterns of experiencing life that may be for decades or even,
You know,
Lifetimes,
They'd say,
In the East.
So,
You know,
Sometimes it's when we're losing a job or our marriage is breaking up or we're just feeling that,
You know,
From kind of an inner place within us,
We're just feeling really unhappy.
It's when there's an opportunity to grow beyond who we've been.
So,
You know,
Just keep that in mind,
Especially when times are tough,
You know,
That you're just outgrowing your old shell,
You know,
Your seed sprouting,
And you're going to be starting to put your roots down into the truth of who you are so you can become the person you were born to be.
So,
You know,
Always give your experience the benefit of the doubt.
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and believe in yourself because the key is we're the ships,
We're the captain of the ships,
And where we still steer our tiller is where we're going.
So,
If we're steering towards,
You know,
The creator to living a truer life,
To being ourselves,
That's where we're going.
But sometimes the first step of that is letting the ego dissolve,
You know,
And that's the hard part because sometimes then fear comes up and we go,
Oh,
Everything's falling apart,
My life is a mess,
There is no creator.
But if we just keep going,
We're just like a seed sprouting and we're finding new life.
And,
You know,
This is where a teacher can be handy,
Somebody who's experienced,
You can say,
Don't worry,
Don't worry,
Sort of like a loving mother,
You know,
Whether they're a male teacher or a female teacher.
If they're a real teacher,
They'll have done it many,
Many times and they can reassure you as you grow beyond who you've been.
Anyway,
Blessings and this video is particularly for anybody in this spot and all my blessings,
Yeah,
All my blessings.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
