What do you do when you are stuck in the ditch? I remembered a time when I was stuck in the ditch many years ago. I blamed everyone and everything I could think of. When in fact I was driving the car and I put myself there. It is really easy to look outside ourselves for what others are doing to impact our lives. When in fact we can choose to look at who we are hanging around and what areas we are driving into. Why would I drive myself to a place that I know that I am not welcomed? When I find myself in a ditch of life, today I call a friend. Ask them for a tow and drive out of that area! Life is way too short to focus on why, and what happened. I can choose to move on. As I drive away from those spaces in my life my mind, body, and soul recognize that I do in fact love myself.
Day 25: Valley. What is the life lessons that you are experiencing now that will give you momentum to reach your desired destination?
My beloved and I are living life looking into the unknown knowing that it is filled with blessings and abundance for us. I find that so often we will stay in a situation that we dislike, or somewhere we are tolerated rather than stepping through the door of the unknown. I find that when I am willing to let go of the good in my life that even better comes. The transition can appear bumpy at first and then we find our footing and we find that life opens up for us like a flower in bloom.
Over the last few weeks, I have taken the opportunity to look at some deep rooted believes around caution and safety. Fear keeps us playing small, and inadequate when we are destined for brilliance. When we find ourselves in a place where we are simply tolerated we can choose to stay, or set ourselves free and walk into the unknown. Yes, I know it is scary. Yes I know that you don't know what is next. Having your car in a ditch doesn't get you to your destination very quickly. It is time to liberate yourself and move on.
I find that after years of playing victim to life, and blaming everyone for what was happening in my life. It is time that I take responsibility. If I choose to stay it is not the person, place, or thing that is disrespectful to me. It is myself. When I stay where I am tolerated, I hold myself back. When I allow others to talk down to me, dishonor me, and choose to stay the biggest disrespect comes from within.
Live is meant to move us forward. It is our choices to keep us stuck in the ditches on the side of the road looking for someone to blame. Take the lead in your life and surround yourself with people who know your worth.
I love you,
Rev Allen
