Do all the events in our life have a purpose for our higher learning?
I was just talking to a client this morning and she was thinking about getting a job. She is a mother of four and her husband works full time. She wanted a job to bring in some extra money while she completes courses to become a coach. She has a lot on her plate with the kids and keeping up with the house and family. She put in an application at a few places and even went in to talk to them, but they don’t seem interested.
Now, there are a couple of ways she could think about this situation. She could decide that she has no worth and that something is wrong with her, or she could realize she is co-creating with the universe and this job isn’t for her higher good at this moment. The first way of thinking is disempowering, while the second is very empowering.
We have the choice everyday to live through our wounded lower self or to live through our higher self knowing that everything is meant to be. It’s important to slow down, pay attention and see which part of our self is in operation, especially if we are triggered. When we do this, we can make a choice to take the right action. This is a part of being present to our life, to be the observer and then to move forward with consciousness.
This is our choice and our choice alone.
If we look at every situation as a learning experience, we are on the right path. If we are angry, frustrated and complaining about things that trigger us, we are expanding our lower self and not shifting our beliefs. The personal retreats I teach are spiritual journeys where I show that there is a purpose to this life we are living and how to start living it with more awareness. If we keep expanding our old beliefs, they keep coming back to us in order to teach us. As we diminish our Ego, old beliefs, life starts showing up differently. The heat actually starts to dwindle out of our triggers and can completely dissolve.
We all want to live in our higher self and suffer less from situations that trigger us. The only way to do this is to learn from our experiences and make a conscious choice to take the action that grows this part of us.
