Nicholas Sparks once said, “Everyone has a past, but that’s just it–it’s in the past. You can learn from it, but you can’t change it.”
I do not usually resonate; with fortune cookie quotes. Oftentimes, they are just a bunch of words; that look fancy on paper… like say what you mean; and mean what you say LOL However, in this case; these words hold substance.
The past by definition; is just a marker of time. Yet, we as individuals, allow the past; to place such a rigid hold on our lives. It haunts our mind, body; and soul. Interesting right? One four-letter word, controls some of us to a point, that it breaks us down just enough, that we can still function; but are on the ledge holding on to a branch.
The past does not define us. It is a part of us. The world as a whole; is so much more. It is comprised of energies and vibrations; that most people cannot begin to fathom. The average person views the universe; from a one-dimensional view. It is only when they can let go of these singular moments, emotions, events, etc; are they able to see the world from a multi-dimensional perspective… confused yet? Yea, well that makes all of us… haha keep reading.
Now, that have established that the past for some, is a controlling bit$$; let us delve deeper. What brought you here? What is the most limiting belief keeping you from what you want right now? Most people come from a place of lack. I.E. I don’t have enough money. My job is not fulfilling. I run from relationships etc… All of these emotions, stem from that one past emotion, that was never dealt with; and put to rest. Instead, it was bandaged and patched up like a boo-boo. I call this event.. the tower moment.
When my mom passed away, I felt my world collapse. Everything I knew or believed; was just a blur. My best friend was taken from me, and I wanted to know why. For years, I closed myself off seeking clarity, for a question that I realized later; did not have an answer. I was forced to take the practical approach. My mom did not take care of herself, and in turn, passed away. Often, we think that clarity entails some Buddah-like fortune cookie explanation when simplicity is enough.
Whatever tower moment, you endured at one point in your life, that you felt you were not worthy; trickled down years later. In turn, causing you to live in a state of fear. This explains why your job is lacking, and your relationships do not satisfy you. Now, we are getting deep.
Perhaps a shift in perspective is needed. We cannot control, the actions of other people; but we can control our responses. Let me decipher, this one example; in true un-filtered raw karol fashion.
If person x, was an a$$hole to you 20 years ago; and got into your core, why would you give the person the validation; to sit with that feeling for the next XYZ years? That person does not deserve, 5 minutes; spent agonizing over them. The only thing this does; is further put you in a lower vibration.
I am not an advocate of revenge. Not so much, because I am this peaceful angel from heaven, but rather, I think the only revenge that is worth my effort is putting in that energy; into something that will benefit my well-being. I.E. educate yourself, read a book, write a blog, join a meetup.. etc. A person that is truly in our lives to support us; will be happy with our success… And those that are in our lives, solely to see us fail; will be miserable… This is when you start cleaning house so to speak…
Solitude is hard, but being surrounded by people, who truly are not in your life to celebrate with you; is far worse. As you continue this process, your intuition will tell you; who truly deserves to be in your life. You will watch people fall off, and will not even bat an eye. It is truly remarkable how our brain works. When we are open and receptive; we see things so much clearer. That person you thought was your best friend.. your spouse that you thought was loyal.. and even family, who buy every sense of the word; was supposed to give you unconditional love…
When you live your life, in a low vibration; you attract low vibrational surroundings. It does not allow you, to open yourself up to people; who truly love you and want to support you. One cannot go through life, thinking that everyone; is in the shadow of this one person. Some people are truly good inside. Let go of the reins of distrust; you are holding on to for dear life. It is exhausting as all hell. Your arms must be so tired. Lol
When we are destructive in our thoughts, our vibration depletes, and as a result; all of our relationships and surrounding environment follow suit… Only when we begin to see the world through love, does our vibration increase, and as a result; everything around us starts going in our favor. The more present you are in the moment, the more clarity you will have; to approach a situation as it comes. Once you decide what you want in life, and be open to accepting that desire, the floodgates open up; and life no longer becomes Pandora’s box. The script is in your hand. Put pen to paper, express your desires; and watch the majestic gates open for you…
The more you let go, enjoy life, and embrace it, that initial emotion and fear, will allow you to truly experience; and live in the present. Think of your emotions in tiers. If you are on level one, your fears and negative thoughts; see the world as gray and bleak. As you slowly begin, to let go of those emotions, you start gradually going to level two, and the world looks a little bit greener. Eventually, you get to level 10; and you see all of the colors of the rainbow.. and let me tell you level 10 is hella sexy.
To move forward, we must come to terms with the fact, that most of us; will never get the answers that we seek about the past. The future has yet to be determined. Fearing something that is a long way ahead; serves absolutely no purpose. The consumption of fear is most likely stronger; than what could happen if you let go.
Thus, by process of elimination; we must in turn focus on the here and now. Allow yourself to experience new things; and open your heart to new people. Ask yourself if your environment, and everything that encompasses it, truly serve your better good; rather than a vortex of negative space. You will be surprised at what you will find.
It is interesting to mention, that most of our emotions and fears; do not come from the heart; but rather from the head. Our brains are programmed in such a capacity; that it triggers both our emotions and our actions. Thus, I think it is wise; to make decisions from the heart in some situations. Your intuition will guide you. Your brain can be susceptible to manipulation or trickery. I call it the Joker. It can make you perceive something; that is not reality. Be open and honest. Know exactly what you desire. Your heart will not disappoint.
You know what beautiful soul; that is okay… You are enough. You are worthy of love; and beautiful gifts from the universe. You are accepted! Once you open your heart, and embrace life and everything it has to offer; you will be unstoppable.
Be a rebel for once… Rise up! Break the cycle!
Repeat after me. I am worthy! My heart is open! I can move mountains; without having to control them!
I am ready to kick a$$.
On that note, my better good is to feed Papa; before the whole building hears it haha 😂 love and light…❤️
Like a phoenix from the ashes, they may defeat you, burn you, insult you, injure you, and abandon you. But they will not, shall not, and cannot destroy you. For you, like Rome, were built on ashes, and you, like a phoenix, know how to resurrect.
