Yesterday, I reflected on feeling annoyed by the obstacles in my life. I often feel like I can't get ahead and struggle to figure out what I want to do with my life. The weight of my responsibilities often makes it difficult for me to find the time to pursue my goals and execute them. However, I have come to realize that feeling annoyed is actually an indicator that I am growing and evolving. If the path were easy, there would be little to no room for growth.
When I become aware of my negative feelings, I try to figure out why I am feeling that way. Sometimes, it is a sign that I am dealing with growth, even if it initially feels like I am stuck. Being stuck can actually be an opportunity to become more aware of myself and my surroundings. It allows me to drop into a state of not knowing and trust the moment, which often leads to things unfolding naturally.
Recently, I heard a message from Reverend Ike about becoming the authority over your circumstances. While it may seem easier said than done, I am grateful for this message because it resonated with me. Being the authority does not always mean having a plan of action. Sometimes, it means letting go and leading with grace.
Leading with grace means approaching life and its challenges with a positive and appreciative mindset. It involves letting go of the need for control and trusting that things will unfold as they are meant to. It also involves being grateful for the present moment and finding joy in the journey, rather than just focusing on the destination. By leading with grace, we can become more aware of the resources available to us and use them to our advantage. It allows us to overcome obstacles and navigate difficult situations with a sense of calm and peace, rather than frustration and negativity. This can be challenging for my left brain, which often seeks structure and control, but it is important to learn to let go and allow situations to unfold.
Getting out of my head and into my body means flowing with my breath and being present in the moment. It is why meditation is so powerful. By being present, I am able to identify the resources available in the present and use them to my advantage. Instead of focusing solely on the bigger picture without understanding its individual components, I am able to identify each component and utilize them to achieve my goals. This approach allows me to make the most of my current situation and overcome obstacles more effectively.
In summary, feeling frustrated and stuckcan be a sign of growth and an opportunity to become more self-aware. By leading with grace, I can become the authority over my circumstances and learn to let go and trust the moment. Embracing the present moment and recognizing the resources available to me allows me to overcome obstacles and navigate difficult situations more effectively.
