This is not the easy path. When it opens to you, when you begin to awaken, there is no turning back. We may pause temporarily, start to doze when we hit a comfortable spot, but something keeps nudging us, refusing to let us fall back to sleep. ”Comfortable,” or “Good enough,” aren’t the way of the Conscious Creator.
That voice inside will keep whispering to you, “Hey, this is nice, it ticks a lot of boxes, but it isn’t that ideal, shoot for the stars life that you want and you know it! You want passion and fire and the full depth of emotion and experience, remember? Are you comfortable right now or are you lit up from within? We hear this and we know that eventually, we are going to have to gather our courage and do hard things. We have to make difficult decisions that may not feel very good in the moment. Who wants to leave that cozy, comfortable job, or relationship, or whatever it is that’s keeping you from experiencing the life that you truly desire? Who wants to hurt people they care about?
Six years ago, I was contemplating divorce. It was finally easy for me to see, and admit, that the relationship was very unhealthy, but I wasn’t sure what to do because we have 3 children together. I spent a lot of time in tears on the floor of my bedroom asking for help from the Universe to guide me. After several days there and so many tears, the silence finally washed over me and I heard, “What is right for you is right for all.”
When you come to a decision from that place of silent, still, clarity within you and you know with every fiber of your being that the decision is right for you, then there is no doubt that it is also right for everyone involved. It isn’t right for one person and not the other, whether that’s a relationship, a job, or anything else. When you decide from that Highest Truth, not Ego, you can feel the difference with practice - then what is right is right for everyone, even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.
How do you know the difference between the Ego and the Higher Truth? The Ego feels disconnected from your body. The Higher Truth comes from that place deep within us and we can feel it with every part of our Being. It is always guiding us lovingly to our next steps, if not without intense sensations that might be described as painful. The Ego will be harsh and play on your fears. The Truth only comforts with love.
Some Higher Truths, those answers that come guiding us toward the next right step, are harder to carry out than others. Often, we wait until the Truth is no longer whispering, but fully shouting at us that it is time to move. Time to shift. Time to make the changes that support us in our growth and expansion, moving us closer to that ideal, fully expressed life. If you’re a Conscious Creator, practiced or new to this path, trust that the Courage will show up when you need it. And remember, you are not alone. You may look around and see no one quite like you in your life, but we’re out here, supporting you. We are all around, courageously creating and living the lives of our dreams one step forward at a time. You might recognize us by the people calling us either crazy or brave. We may be a little of both and life is meant to be lived!
Those of you on this path, and you must be or you wouldn’t still be reading this, come to recognize that the highest emotions, the ones typically judged as good or positive, like joy, happiness, aliveness, excitement, those will only ever be as good as we are willing to experience and express their opposites - the grief, the sadness, frustration, and hurt that so often come along with doing the hard things that are required to keep us moving forward.
If you’re feeling a call toward living more consciously, more courageously, I repeat, you’re not alone. You don’t have to do it all by yourself. Over the past 6 years, I’ve built a beautiful community of Conscious Creators locally through Meetup.com. Now, we’re gathering from around the globe in a private Facebook Group. You can join us or you can join another group that speaks to your soul. Learn to notice and trust those intuitive nudges that guide you.
This is not the easy path. And it is so worth it.
You are loved. You are courageous. You are a Conscious Creator!
