Each person has a particular mission to accomplish in life, but many people settle with what they have because they'd rather be safe than venture into the unknown. But without risk you really are not living.
Nancy, a nurse from California called to discuss a dilemma she was having. She questioned, "I am torn between two men in my life. I am really confused. I don't know which one I should be with.”
In a matter of minutes, it quickly became evident that Nancy life lessons were to let go of some seriously disserving habit patterns.
Nancy explained that her husband had cheated on her many times throughout the course of their 13 year marriage. She kept on forgiving him but he kept on straying. Eventually she, too, met another man and had an affair of her own. And now her lover was demanding she leave her husband.
Nancy had numerous weaknesses in her personality. She had a bad habit of giving up parts of herself so others could like her. She was a people pleaser. And, neither of these men cared about what was important to her.
Her lovers cared about themselves but she was agonizing about what to do without really tuning into herself. Instead she acted like a doormat because that's what she was used to. It hurt and oh so familiar.
She continued to attract people into her life that took her for granted and made unreasonable demands. Ironically, these men offered her the opportunity to grow and become forceful in her expression.
My question to Nancy was, “What do you want?” Isn’t it time for you to stop taking crumbs just because that's what you've been doing life after life. It's time to get to know you without any distractions. Do you even love these men?"
Nancy was advised to break up with both lovers which symbolized breaking up with her old self which brought her to tears. She got it! She needed to grow out of this pattern. If she was honest with herself she had gone out with this other man because of insecurity. She didn't love him, she just wanted his attention. Neither of the men fulfilled her spirit.
Six months later Nancy called back and her energy had shifted. She had since filed for divorce, and she'd told the other guy to scram, too. She was slowly waking up to her spirituality, sensuality and confidence.
She called to say "thank you". For the first time in her life she is discovering what she really wants It hasn’t been completely easy since being alone can be scary for her. At the same time it's exciting too. She explained that it felt as if she was blossoming.
At a spiritual level, Nancy really wanted to make the energetic jump. Like most people, she wanted to live life to the fullest and reach her potential. When you plunge into the abyss, the universe starts opening doors for you.
