WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN CAN'T
RECORDED VERSION IF YOU'R RATHER LISTEN...
BELIEVE ME. I KNOW THE CAN’T IS REAL!
As someone with extreme sensitivities and a history of chronic illness I carry multiple entries in the CAN’T column. I have experienced life enslaved to what I can not do.
what matters MORE than can't?
Personal paradigm shifting can feel like formidable territory, but gifts you may not believe are yours to claim, await you. It's important we dig in here for a bit, as shallow rhetoric does not serve us.
My journey to these particular medicine wisdoms solidified along a lengthy and precarious path. At every stage of life - while illness and limitations loomed - DEFIANCE drove me to STRIVE for most of culture's expected aspirations,
depleting me, at times, completely.
When life exclaimed “YOU CAN’T” I bucked and protested and found ways to
break new ground for myself, sometimes in the realm of pure-positive-change,
but often not.
I have plenty of examples that cast me in a positive light, and just as many that don't. In my youthful days and younger ways, the fuel for my defiant acts most closely resembled angry bluster and disrespect. Today, as a recovering negativity junkie and proponent of self-aware and awakened living, I’ve faced my work here.
I GOT REAL. I ADJUSTED. I ATONED. I FORGAVE.
I healed on levels beyond can & can’t
And what about now? I feel great. I feel awful. I feel A lOT.
I give myself room to be imperfect, A LOT.
I keep allowing for it.
I aspire to walk a path of Sacred Wellness. No longer do I strive for anything
due to societal or peer expectations. Nor do I point my fire toward what
"I WILL DO, DAMN IT!" because life suggests I CAN’T.
I use my fire wisely and for the benefit of what my heart + soul call me toward.
I've reimagined the energies of defiance and obstinance as positive fuel, propelling me toward what calls me to BE or BECOME.
While I may not pursue degrees of higher learning, I pour myself into acquiring knowledge and understanding of what interests me and what I NEED to know
to get where I’m going.
KNOW YOURSELF
We are fortunate — blessed actually — to exist when and where informational resources abound. If you don’t know something today, it’s because you choose NOT to know. It’s okay “not to know”, of course. You decide what's important. You get to order your priorities. But get HONEST about it. Much energy can be conserved and reclaimed in this layer of truth telling, even to yourself.
Whether you're a highly sensitive person, or you navigate a chronic illness or are limited in resources / capacities for any odd reason, you have choices. Focus on what you CAN’T do... bullshit yourself and others about what you "don't know how" to do, OR...
FIND YOUR WAY
IMPECCABLE SELF-CARE IS A PRIORITY!
With that sorted and in your sites as consistent and non-negotiable,
I then propose you learn to SPECIALIZE... IN YOU!
Know your capacities - to avoid becoming an unconscious saboteur to progress.
Know what fills & depletes you - to monitor your affiliations with both.
Know your preferences - to the extent they can trip or trick you.
Know your strengths & gifts - for proof your life holds value.
Know your rhythms & cycles - to organize your efforts.
Know your moods & patterns - to remain in truth.
Know the lies you believe when in pain.
Know how to shift your vibration.
Know the beauty of you.
Know yourself!
No need to stay stuck or spinning here. Knowing yourself allows movement BEYOND self-work and into what you are uniquely poised to offer our greater world.
As a SPECIALIST, you become filled and flowing with personalized energies that VITALIZE, and you'll OUTSMART unconscious influences hampering your ability to prosper.
Honor your reality without
becoming your limitations.
Do this well and live satisfied; as in SOUL-DEEP SATISFACTION (no small thing).
In the process you may create energetic pathways of permission for others - BONUS!
Finding or forging YOUR WAY in our world requires patience, persistence, consistency and a willingness to toil in the unknown for an undetermined time. Oh, and you'll need to stay connected to guiding wisdoms and listening for now and next directives.
Sounds like a lot of work
Perhaps. But please hear me - the energetic and emotional costs to build and maintain a FORTRESS OF CAN’T are exorbitant and without yield or return. So while essentially you pay either way, to FIND YOUR CAN is an investment offering results and rewards.
Remember, I get it...
circumstances differ
your CAN’TS are unique
ways to honor capacities shift & vary
your HOW & CAN may feel indiscernible or even evasive
AND... it's still possible to honor your circumstances AND delight your soul.
A framework helps
Feel free to lean on this one unless your own emerges.
Consider it a map to follow or a rhythmic cycle to ride.
Invitation
As often as it takes to create the habit,
then over and over again still... live
deeper truths... choose
sacred wellness.
FIND WHAT MATTERS
MORE THAN CAN'T THEN
