Full Circle

by livewhatyouknow

This world will harden you if you let it. Time to reach beyond for something so much better!

As a very young child, my constant prayer was this – “To NOT become bitter.” [I didn’t yet know about stating it in the positive… but this worked for me… I knew what I didn’t want to become and I visioned it in the positive – what I would become and stay open to Being – even though I repeatedly stated it this way I visioned the positive side clearly and fervently].

That was my guiding mantra… my greatest intention. To stay open. I saw so many bitter people and encountered so much to be bitter about. I made the effort to recite, embody and hold dear this very special to me prayer throughout my childhood and into my young adult life. I lived it.

I’m 47 now. It’s a full circle moment. To make things happen, to get things done to go out into the world (whirled) and create/impact/show up… it may have a hardening effect. I’m not bitter… I still Believe. I’m still open – in different ways than I could have imagined – but, still open.. not to the illusionary world, but to what is beyond that. I never became bitter. But, I have recently allowed this world to cause/push/program me to slip from my nature… from my softness.

I fought hard for my authenticity and I never do or say anything without it. With that, many situations call for an authentically tough and/or rough approach to “accomplish” anything and/or just get common sensical needs met/tasks handled/lackluster approaches avoided, etc. It’s a funny world now and a strange culture being perpetuated on us all the time… let’s just say they like to strip what is ‘natural’ out of it and distort, invert and corrupt in every possible way.

With my authenticity comes a direct approach that people don’t love I suppose. I show up as honest, open, direct, forthcoming, straightforward and it is just so interesting how people now take offense to that (even with warm vulnerability)… which only makes me settle in harder because I know my pure intentions behind it and I never intend in harmful ways… even if I’m willing to say the tough stuff…

In this full circle moment – kind of prompted by a straw that broke the camel’s back situation in a business interaction today – I do declare and embody this full circle prayer/mantra/intention – “To reclaim my softness… my nature.”

I’ll still treasure my authenticity I hold so dear… but, I’ll protect the part of me that is so delightfully and beautifully soft and like no other force … my softness is a precious treasure full of so much Life, Love and nurturing possibility… it can move mountains and shape steel. I don’t have to pretend to belong to this world of harsh edges and inverted roles. I AM my nature and anything worth Doing can be done in that frequency.

I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!
I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!
I reclaim my softness … my Nature!!!

So much Love and powerfully authentic softness your way!!!
