A life changing perspective
Sometimes ideas, thoughts and epiphanies come through at such a rapid pace that it is hard to contain my excitement and get everything down fast enough.
Today was one of those days.
A topic that is near and dear to my heart and at the forefront of every topic I discuss, every session I have and every thought that comes through is ENERGY. If you know me and have been around long enough, you have likely heard me give a workshop on energy, be interviewed on the topic of energy, speak of it in a podcast, have downloaded my PDF or have been with me in person as I bring up energy on the regular. I am unapologetically passionate about energy.
Today’s topic is all about life and the way in which we experience everything - which is ALL energy.
I think most of us have grown accustomed to hearing the phrase “life happens for you, not to you.” It’s been preached so much that I think it has lost some of its luster, and honestly, something about it just didn’t sit aligned with me. Not completely. Now that doesn’t mean that I disagree. Life does, indeed, happen for us. However, there is a very important energetic message that is missing in this and one that I really want to invite you to explore.
That is this: “Life doesn’t happen TO you; it happens THROUGH you.”
Every single moment of every single day, life’s energy is flowing through your veins, your thoughts, your actions, your responses. It not only effects how you experience and proceed in your choices and actions, but it also shapes you and your decisions by the way in which you choose to interact and respond. It allows for constant energetic expansion. Wow. Just wow.
This statement is so strong and potent it nearly brings me to tears when I sit with it and contemplate how much we can take this and make a profound difference in our own lives and our ripple effect out into the world.
What happens when we change our viewpoint to life happening through us? It gently forces us to take note of absolutely everything in our lives. If we take accountability for our responses, what does that look like? We realize that we live through the way we speak, the way we think, the way we interact and the way we show up in the world in every single way. Nothing is off the table here. It never has been! What we do in the light or what we do in the dark flows through our energetic veins. We cannot hide. We have never been able to. It all runs through us. There is no choice. It just…is.
Life happening THROUGH us is constant. Once you take full ownership of this, it all begins to look different. You take back your own personal power and realize that you can make all decisions. The easy ones and the hard ones. You can work through anything in life knowing that you are constantly learning, growing, evolving. You do not have to stay where you are, you can choose to move on or view from a new perspective which often gives new light and direction to a situation. Life happening THROUGH you means that you can move on from the energy of any experience. Everything can be cleared as it works to the surface. What we can keep is the energy of feeling the experience, the lesson and the memory of everything that has moved through us. They shape us into who we are! They expand our thoughts, our horizons and our capacity to hold to love and to share. The euphoric moments and the most challenging ones all shape us.
When I look through the lens of life happening THROUGH me, it feels as though I cannot fail. I can only experience, learn and choose where to go next.
I encourage you to take a moment and feel into what this might mean for you and your life.
Sit with it.
Journal about it.
Feel into your own energy and ask where this might lead you next in opportunities for growth and release.
Notice where this might shine a light in a new direction for you.
I’d love to hear about the ways this speaks to you.
As always, I am here for you.
