Lesson 185: It Takes Courage to Let Go

We all have courage inside of us. I think when we’re ready, we use it in ways we didn’t image possible. I don’t think courage has to be some grand gesture. I think it’s even the small steps you take to actively want to be and do better for yourself. In this clearing journey, the courage I’ve had to summon to face my deepest, darkest truths have built some character within me. It’s actually been the most confronting thing I’ve ever done in my life – go to the deepest parts of my subconscious and come to some realisations that I didn’t really know until I faced them. It’s really a journey as well. I think that’s courage.

Other things I’ve done this year where I’ve shown courage is to discover my spiritual side and what they really entails. Just going into the unknown and trusting some higher power, not really knowing if it’s right for me and just going with the flow of it. That takes courage. It really opened doors to mentors and friends. Very grateful with how I’ve grown since the day I decided to follow what the Universe had for me.

I have a more open voice at work and try not to let people just take over the decision making. That took courage from me because I don’t usually like conflict, but I feel like if you don’t speak up, then you can be disadvantaged as well as taken advantage of. I think being able to be bold and assertive can go a long way. I’ve grown in the work place and have a voice.

I think deciding to experience new things takes courage. I think sometimes I’ve just had to go out on my own to experience. I have learned that relying on others isn’t always the best way to go. Sometimes if you really want to do something, just go for it and don’t wait to be accompanied. It pushes your comfort zone but that’s the beauty of life. Sometimes we need to push ourselves and just be brave!

I think courage is about doing away with self-doubt and fear. The things I’ve written are about overcoming these things. And in overcoming those feelings and emotions, I’m truly letting go of what was holding me back. When we’ve let go, we’re clear.

Lesson 185: Understand Who You Are as...

“Understand who you are as a being. You are most certainly not the façade, the image, the brand you present to the world. This aspect could be gone in a second; it means nothing.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today is about feeling your deeper self. Do away with the mask you wear to others of the outside world and find that true love inside of you. Who is that person? And, what do you love about them?

My deeper being is the person I am trying to be all the time. I think I put on the mask that everyone can deal with and cope with. I really put on my front for others and I’m not even sure it serves me well. I think at work, there is a certain amount of professionalism that is needed and I obviously can’t be my true self, but I sometimes think “why should that matter?”.

So, the person I love inside is the spiritual me. The person who can speak freely of my witchcraft and psychic development. If I start talking about my guides and that I can see passed over loved ones, I am not “normal”. In fact, people’s eyes glaze over and they think I’m a crazy person. That sucks that society has built up this negative aspect to something that I truly resonate with. Sure, there are always people in belief systems that do the wrong thing against others – I find that just how it is in any belief system, but why are people so judgemental towards something they don’t even understand? People talk about having an open mind but they sometimes, just really don’t.

The reason I don’t fully open myself is because people aren’t genuinely interested. I feel free when I’m talking to people like myself and believe in the things I do. It was a rare find and I treasure all these spiritual people I meet more than they realise. It’d be nice if I could talk freely all the time of what I do. But people sometimes don’t want to understand either.

I am slowly just revealing more of me as I go on this path. I am wanting to set up my own business in readings and that will show everyone who I am as a person. I don’t need people to believe in the path I choose. All I know is that I believe in what I do and that’s all that matters. I will feel free and comfortable in “normal” society with the odd things that I do in time.
