Lesson 207: It is Not Your Job to...

….fix everyone. Each person has their own journey. Each person has their set of goals and dreams. Everyone has to become conscious in their own time and in their own way. Today we are to let go of worry, concern and fear we have for others that we have tried to assist or give advice to. They might not adhere to what you are saying and it’s about trusting that everyone grows in their lifetime based on divine timing.

For me personally, I do give advice out and assist where needed. What I do realise now, is not to over extend myself. Not only do I have my own needs but you can only do so much for others, and it hits a point where they need to take control for themselves. It is not up to you to lead other people’s lives for them. You can definitely be a guiding light but you don’t want to steer their ship. If anything, it’s about empowering others to want to be the masters of their lives. We can go about our own lives and when other people see how you are living, then it can be a waking up point for them in their own lives.

I do believe in divine timing. I used to think I needed to help change people’s lives in getting them to see something bigger than themselves, though I learned that it’s definitely not up to me. Some people choose to remain unconscious their whole lives and I thought I needed to change that in people. It’s really their choice and I have no right to meddle in their lives. I guess I was telling people how they should be but in reality, everyone needs to make a decision themselves to want to awaken to the world around them. I now go about my life and focus on my own path. I don’t need to make people walk a similar path because the Divine will take care of it.

Lesson 207: Wait It Out

Today we are to take a step back when feelings start to arise that bring us discomfort – the anger, sadness, frustration, overwhelm. Whatever feeling you have, just stop for a moment and breathe. Allow the feelings to come about and wait for them to shift. It’s about watching the change happen.

My Thursday consisted of work, an osteo appointment and a TV night with a friend. Nothing really major happened on my day. There are times when I do get frustrated at work and sometimes like my only mode is anger and frustration there. The shift I made happen was just to accept the situation and change my personal circumstance – so I applied for a new job. I believe I need to look at my options so that I can be happy in the place that I spend the majority of my time in. I believe seeing this internal job advertised was a spark that gave me some hope. I have a particular working skill and it’s not a job that gets advertised often. I feel like taking a stand on my attitude opened up possibilities of options to come my way. If I made the shift in attitude rather than sink into just anger and frustration, that wasn’t helping myself nor was it helping those around me. Morale is low in my department but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a catalyst for change.
