What Keeps You Small?

Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know. – Pema Chodron

That which we resist, persists.

What keeps coming up for you? “Causing you*” persistent, or recurring, or even occasional, angst, frustration, upset, overwhelm, anger or sadness?

What in you must evolve to solve, or better yet make irrelevant, this thing?

What insists on you growing, but yet you cling to out-dated, and out-moded, patterns of  thinking, feeling and acting?

Identify it.

Make peace with it.

Live anew.

* I use the term “causes you” advisedly because you decide what things mean and how they impact you. As the Creator of your Reality, it’s up to you to be upset, or grateful; angry, or resolute; sad, or curious; frustrated or inquiring; . . . .

  • Redefining Perfect

    “Perfect” gets a bad rap. Why? Because it’s confused with “perfection” which is, non-ideal and non-resourceful. Things are perfect. And by “perfect” I mean they are just as they should be. There’s no way they could be any other way than how they are. Things are the way they are by virtue of the choices…
