“The very nature of love is one of expansion” ~ Ellie Shoja (Your Heart Knows the Way)
It’s crazy exciting when you have a dream or specific goal, and you can feel it within reach. You could have that vision in your head, and ready to jet out of the gate as soon as you hear that gun shot. Or you may already be in the race – physically pushing and working to achieve your heart’s desire. You’ve got the work ethic down to a science, you know you MUST put in the work to get there, very few people have those things handed to them. And when they do – are they going to be as proud as you? Probably not. But you seem to have overlooked just one thing.
Somebody told me recently, something that made so much crazy sense! You know how you’ve been told your whole life to “get out of your comfort zone”, and all the discussions around your comfort zone have been in a negative light? Well, it’s bullshit. Complete hogwash. YES – step out of your comfort zone in those times needed for growth and awakening. But what about creating? That comes directly from your heart. Nurturing the Universal Love and gratitude inside of yourself can create and move you ahead faster than anything else.
Being in a constant state of competition or anxiety might eventually get you there, but at what cost? What did you give up of yourself, and what did you sacrifice in your relationships? Did it bring out some features of your human self that you don’t love to see pop out? Jump off of your self-created hamster wheel. An easy way to get started on this path is to sit, even for 30-seconds, before you start your work/creative day. Getting in alignment, opening your heart, and staying aware sets yourself up for true expansion.
