As this decade reaches the end I sit with all of me and reflect on the years past. I have met with many raw emotions, with physical challenges and joy. I refuse to allow any regrets to either cross my mind or slip through my lips, for the reasons of all the season’s past have formed the woman that I have become. I might have wished for a different scenario while living in that particular moment but, I now understand.
In my studies of Freud and Jung I have learned many things from both, yet, I prefer the teachings of Carl G Jung, especially on Individuation and Self-Actualization. One of my favorite quotes from Jung resonates in ripples, simply because I understand, deeply.
“No tree, it is said, can grow to Heaven unless its roots reach down to hell”
I felt this in my core, it speaks of falling down 7 times, yet rising stronger on the 8th, it explains why the darkness occurs before the light can shine on our divine path. It personifies growth in places, we believed were barren.
It has been many years now that I have not set a New Year’s resolution. In years past I had committed to plans that were doomed from the moment I thought them. Today, in my now, I have made every thought a goal, and that goal into a plan and this is how I set my “New Year Resolutions” I set them on the day I create them, and it has been working phenomenally.
My only evil of self, my monkey wrench, my obstacle of “letting go” has been my need to know. My Inquisitive Nature.
A head full of “Why’s” is a very crowded MIND!
Why is it we celebrate with such joy when a child is born, and mourn so profoundly when death arrives?
Why do we experience such a massive, mind blowing release of endorphins when we fall “in-love” to only shatter into a million microscopic pieces when it no longer wants to stay?
Why are we so eager to share our happy/good news with child-like enthusiasm and hide our grief/sadness with shame?
Why do we claim to be transparent when in reality we are cowards?
Why do we, as humans, take one step forward with a confident pep in our step to only skip backwards 2 to 3 steps out of fear of either our failure or … our success?
Why do we speak to one another but never truly communicate?
Why do we hear what the other says but, do not listen?
Why does the Sun so selflessly die every night so that the Moon can rise in glorious beauty?
Why do we self-sabotage when success is looking right at us?
Why do we trust ourselves to love again, knowing the depths of pain and darkness all too well? WHY?
My father taught me at a very young age Three pivotal lessons that I have carried through-out my adult life. Carried and forgotten in different seasons. I never understood a particular saying in my native tongue, actually said in english makes less sense to me and this is why I say it in a whisper often, only because I truly love the way it flows seductively and with certainty down my tongue and causes a ripple sensation that makes me giggle, then, like magic, it is free from the warmth of my eccentric being and released into the air, and that’s when it happens, this is when the words become alien to me.
“Dale Tiempo Al Tiempo” – “Give Time, its Time”
I ask; how the hell do I do that? where are the instructions?
The Three Pivotal Lessons:
- Nunca te engañes (Never lie to yourself)
- Lo que no sirve se bota (discard what no longer serves you)
- No crees nada de lo que escuche – Mitad de lo que veas – y Todo de lo que sientes – (believe nothing of what you hear – Half of what you see – Everything of what you feel)
I have failed at all three yet, I RISE because I cannot reach my destiny, fulfill my Personal Legend without first falling into darkness.
Celebrate and Forgive ALL of you Mi Gente, Rise above every Fall in your past and continue to focus on Living in Your Moment as you embark closer to your Divine Purpose.
I Believe In You and in all of your Endeavors in the upcoming Beginning decade.
A JOYOUS MERRY CHRISTMAS & A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
