To Breakthrough

To breakthrough or create the change you seek, you must confront your Shadow archetypes in life. These are challenges we must and can overcome...
Today, I want to encourage someone to take a leap of faith towards making positive change happen in their life.
There are people who feel generally happy with their lives, but somedays the unrest creeps in. The feeling, like a tide of an ebb. It starts with an epiphany, then dwindles away as they get sucked into their daily lives. And when they sit in the den of contemplation, as life’s challenges confronts what they stand for, the feeling comes back gain, reinforced. Can I really do better? Am I really good enough? Many will ignore this soft whispering question in their minds and still find peace. For some others, the need for change makes them suffer and restless. Like the ocean, they can’t resist it. When they try to resist, they’ll end up with many antidepressants, yoga classes and all kinds of remedies, but the feeling just won’t go away.
To breakthrough, unstuck or create the change you seek, you must confront your Shadow archetypes in life. These are challenges we must and can overcome to bring us to higher level of self-expression. Shadows can come in negative self-talk, lack of confidence, depression, dishonour, etc. The source of these negative expressions is fear. It limits you from staring down the barrel of your gift or purpose because the rabbit-hole only seems to go deeper. Thus, you simply live life in denial not realising that what you manifest right now is a direct reflection of the fears that repress you. To really look deeply into your fears is to undergo a major transmutation born by a leap of faith. Take the bull by the horn, hold on fast regardless of how unpleasant it feels, in the end you’ll come out a winner.
Change is not a comfortable business because you must let go of all the negative self-talk of who and what you are. The grail we seek is hiding beneath our fear. The very thing that terrifies you the most is your route to a higher evolution. Therefore, a denial of your weakness, challenges or fear literally reinforces your self-limiting patterns.
The bottom line is, unless you face your own unique fear archetypes, you cannot open the portal to change that will catapult you to where you should be. If you do not look your adversity square in the face and realise that it is the very manifestation of your own essence, you miss the whole point and purpose of your life. Facing your doubts is a lonely business and it happens through the process of your natural destiny. It is the thing right in front of you that you try to avoid the most. It will not fix itself through your mind, and it will keep coming back at you again and again. It cannot be circumvented or given over to another. Your suffering may be a magic mirror or a compass to the right direction of your leap. It’s yours to own, to appreciate and to accept. Only when you finally stop trying to avoid it, can it show you its magic. It might be that leap of faith to ask for help. Are you wondering how to make that change happen in your career or relationships? Are you feeling like you can do better but don’t seem to have a clear direction? Or do you just want to talk to someone about what’s happening inside of your mind? You have to take responsibility for change, but you don’t have to stand alone. Reach out to someone today who can stand by you on this journey and help you stay accountable.
