When I was growing up, I would get excited about things and if they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to, I would feel really disappointed. Then eventually, I stopped myself from feeling excited because the possible disappointment was too much to bear. The disappointment was too painful. If I didn't get so excited, I wouldn't become so disappointed.
My excitement was conditional. It depended on the outcome and the results of what I wanted. It came with expectations. I know I'm not the only one. Then I had a child, and I saw him going through the same experience. And I got to learn, from guiding him, that you, I, we, get to feel excited, regardless of the outcome, regardless of the results. The outcome really doesn't matter.
Most things we do in life are motivated by creating/manifesting a specific result. But what if, the perceived outcome was a mere backdrop? An illusion set in place to activate movement towards it? It's not the result that defines you. It's who you become and what you strengthen/develop while achieving your results - that's what defines you.
Can you allow yourself to feel excitement regardless of the outcome, regardless of the result? Can you allow yourself to feel excited and release the expectation? Because even when things "don't work out," they are "working out," for us. Not for our egos, but for our highest good. And if you can let go of needing to depend on the results or the outcome, you can invite excitement back into your life. And you get to feel excited - no matter what.
Stop Raising 3D Kids
The 3D paradigm is where separation, linear time, fight/flight, blame/shame, good/bad luck, social status, competition, matter, not having enough, not being enough, not enough to go around, attachment to body/physical form exists.
When we raise children to focus on matter Vs energy, we teach them that they need to be "someone" or "somebody". We teach them that they need to get "somewhere" or be "someplace". We teach them they need to "have" things or "own" things in order to be happy, successful and fulfilled.
Raising 3D kids perpetuates the 3D paradigm which the ego loves - but the soul can not grow in this dimension. Help move society into the 5D by teaching your children about energy: they/we are energy. Teach them that they are no one, no thing, and no where, that they are everyone, everything and everywhere - beyond time and space. Teach them that they are consciousness. This is our contribution to evolving society and healing humanity.
Spiritual Six Pack
Getting a spiritual six pack is the same as getting a physical six pack.
Some people ask "how long will it take?"
Well, if you work out once, will you get strong abs? No.
If you work out only when you are down and out, will you get strong abs? No.
If you work out, say, once a month, will you get strong abs? No.
What if you consistently worked out to achieve the abs you wanted and got the abs you wanted, then stopped working out for a few months? What would happen?
1 ice cream won't make you fat. 1hr of exercise won't make you fit. 1 session won’t cure you.
The only way to achieve the results you want with anything in life, is consistency. Whether it be physical, mental, emotional, psychic or spiritual. If you want a spiritual six pack, stay consistent.
