From Diamond Back to Coal

Doing whatever that brings you joy has to be real. It can’t be something unconducive to successfully ending this part of your soul's journey with completed tasks. It cannot be an addiction that is not a result of your passion. It must be something that genuinely brings your heart happiness and joy. You can’t reach your goals high, drunk, gluttonous (unhealthy relationship w/ food), greedy (money & power), and full of negativity.

 When I say, “It’s all you have to do,” I am not degrading the value in the actual struggle it takes to shed old habits, people, and things. I know it’s hard to extract lifelong or situational pieces of us and toss them away like they never existed or had an impact on the person that we are in that moment. It's just past the time for humanity to heal and let go of all of their bullshit. Enough of the excuses, the cutesy ways of doing things so that we feel the least, and only dipping our toes in the sea of healing instead of full-on diving in. It's time to do real work, and stop bullshitting and fighting our ways through this existence. It's real and it's here, now! Just like your internal struggles. This lesson works like a vicious uroboros. We can’t become stronger in being able to let go of our attachments, which we shouldn’t have in the first place, if we do not have practice in letting go.

In this two part lesson of equal significance, we foster growth and invigorate our strength while learning the flow of letting go to receive; with the full after effect being our complete and pure happiness. Letting go allows us to shed weight that wears us down the longer we carry it. This process of letting go becomes effortlessly easy once we swallow the biggest rock...letting go of not letting go and making yourself subservient and vulnerable to the discomfort. Embrace the discomfort and feel the flow of lightness and joy follow in-kind.

Some of our discord is in the struggle to accept the change in living our lives without that person or thing. Beings with any level of emotional intelligence don't like loss. This lesson of letting go falls right onto the grief collision course some people find themselves on for longer than they internally need to be. Other soul-level discord comes from the simple existence of change itself. Change can be traumatic for some, especially with the hardest part of letting go. However, it is inevitable. Our souls are continuing their tasks, but their hosts' earthly, ego-fueled, material minds are in the way. We all have unlimited potential. We should always strive to reach that end.  Don't be a mediocre lump.

If you’re happy being coal, then so be it. That just means your job here may be to be the best damn lump you can be. If you're not happy with being just another grumpy lump in the world, then let's work together to get you pass mediocrity and up to your highest potential. The world needs the highest you for humanity to be our highest us.

Repetition becomes habit. When I reiterate points, it is so that it is listened to, not just heard. Our minds tend to focus on the odd, so hearing something against what our brains perceive as a normal event pushes that thing front of mind. You always know that you always know.
