Believing is Seeing

Believing is seeing.

You have probably heard this saying the other way around, seeing is believing, but this is outdated and simply untrue.

Waiting to see something first will likely keep you so focused on the outcome of your goal, that you will miss opportunities along the way. The twists and turns along the enchanted path, that are going to nourish your spirit on a much deeper level.

Being open minded, or at its best, open hearted is when you believe in the potential of the infinite opportunities around you and are therefore able to grasp more than you imagined and find the miracles in the unlikeliest of places, creating deep gratitude and understanding.

To believe, practice holding on to thoughts in your heart space and really imagine how it feels to already have and taste, touch, smell and experience. Do this as often as possible and watch how your reality begins to align with this belief, and you begin to see it presenting itself in the world around you.

It’s a way of taking action and responsibility in and for your own life. So many of us are just suspended in a state of habitual passive existence, waiting to see something or know all the answers first. Passing responsibility on to someone or something else, never truly owning your choices or taking action in life.

There is never a good time to make life changing choices or step out of your comfort zone, but the greatest growth comes from pushing that edge. Be it the new job, the new baby, the new home or the next step in a relationship, we are faced with our own discomfort and fears (judgement, failure, success, abandonment) that eventually force us to leap, or just stay the same.

We believed we could, so we did!

You can practice the art of believing/manifesting/altering your reality by focusing on smaller desired outcomes. For example; in the morning when you wake up, take a moment to hold on to the belief that you will have a great day. Hold the thought in your heart space, remember the last great day you had and feel it. Feel what you loved about it and bring that feeling into the present. I promise, even if everything does not go exactly your way, you will be able to tap into that good feeling and rise above any drama that unfolds. You may even notice how much easier it is to navigate challenges and problem solve from within this mindset, and what could have been experienced as a negative, might now present good new opportunities for you to harness, that would have been missed if you were caught up in the drama.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I a right? I believe for now that I am right, and I believe in you.

How Do Integrate My Higher Self Without Being A Weirdo?

How do I begin to integrate my higher self into this life without looking like a weirdo?

Good question.

You can’t! Once you dive into the great waters of self development and spiritual exploration, others will begin questioning your sanity, as much as you have begun to question your own.
In the process of becoming who you have always been, you will appear different to others, you will lose friends and old habits. Mindsets and possessions that you no longer need will start to crumble away. It is the great unraveling, stripping you back to that beautiful sparkle at the very nature of your being. It is no thing to fear, it just is. It is terrifying and exciting and most definitely addictive once you dip your toe into the water and begin to understand the delicate blueprint of your hearts truth.

But, just as everything in nature is balanced, so too is your awakening! For every challenge you encounter (which of course is just an opportunity for growth and healing) you will be offered new friendships, soul connections and opportunities to harness your highest potential in abundance and skills to love and accept yourself in wholeness.

You will feel compelled to share your excitement and enthusiasm with others, and you will be mocked. You will want to tell everyone how much you love them and how fucking incredibly grateful you are to have them in your life, and they may take a step back because  you are too much.

You will begin to feel more connected to everything around you than ever before, and yet more alone than you have felt in your life. 
Your ego will be tested again and again, until you understand that this flesh pocket we inhabit in this earthly life, is nothing but a vessel, a navigation tool to unlock the experiences necessary for the growth and evolution we hope to accomplish on this journey.

Once seen, you can no longer unsee. Trust me though, it is all worth it. You are no longer trying, you just are!  And you are such a fucking ray of sunshine and hope on our little green and blue planet. You are the one you’ve been waiting for. Shine your sparkle and love hard!
