You’re Worth the Trip

When faced with the most challenging parts of my journey to date, I chose to cultivate an appreciation of "hell", not a fear of it.

When I stopped making the fear, doubt and pain I felt "wrong" and instead welcomed them as essential parts of this unique life experience, everything changed.

I became like an athlete who LOVES the grueling discipline of their training. Determined to awaken to a power I didn't know I had, purely because that's the experience I wanted.

I wanted to feel myself, to meet myself there.

I learned to tell the difference between challenging myself, and slave-driving in order to prove a point.

I accepted...

THIS is my path.

I stopped looking for an easier option - an exit route - and I trusted that if it was coming into my awareness, I must have the inner strength to face it.

When you think of your path right now, the one you're called to walk, what comes up for you?

Discomfort?

Fear?

Pain?

Sit with it.

Can you feel it?

Is it internal screaming?

A little voice, crying?

What's it saying?

The more you engage with it, the less scary it becomes.

There's no need to distract yourself.

You are worth mucking through the sludge for, wriggling with the sensations in your body and wading through the ickiness, to the clarity at the center.

You are worth the trip through hell and back.
