Finding the path to yourself

As we live our lives, using the teachings our parents passed on to us sometimes without knowing it, we tend to recreate situations over and over – until we say to ourselves “I would rather stay single, I only attract trouble”, or “I give up – nothing is ever going to change for me”. Or worse.
We hang labels around our necks, paste descriptions on our foreheads that limit us by causing us to focus on what we see around us, focus on what get reflected back at us…. only mostly, we are not aware of the fact that we put that vibration out there in the first place.

We walk around with deep aching voids in ourselves, fixating on others to beam at us the loving acceptance we are not even aware of being able to receive from ourselves.
And when we lose their admiration we feel almost desperate in our renewed search for someone to love us – and eventually, having passed through relationship after relationship that did not work out, we give up.

The knowing that we can find all that unconditional love, acceptance and nurturing within ourselves comes with the realization that we are greater than we once thought, that there is a part of us that is blended with a greater loving energy – our connection to Source…. whatever we call that expanded part where we are all One matters not, the filters through which we see it matter not, – what does matter is that we can open our hearts and know that we are never alone, never abandoned, that there is a timeless connection binding us all together, and that we can turn inward and find the love that we are missing within ourselves.

Sometimes all it takes it the acceptance of the possibility of being able to be self nurturing, which is in fact what it is… and as we nurture ourselves, as we start taking responsibility for our lives and our decisions without placing blame on ourselves, things start shifting in our lives and our outer reality moves to match our inner reality of greater light, greater consciousness and greater love.

And it is at this point where doors start opening for us, synchronicities start to appear and we start tapping into that great stream of Consciousness in a conscious manner, learning about the laws of the universe, learning about our own magnificence, our shining beings, – that we are perfect even in our imperfection.

We can attract to us the lives we have been yearning for by simply starting to awaken in ourselves those qualities that we so look for in others – loyalty, unconditional acceptance and love, and the knowledge that magic does exist and that it is all waiting for us – when we least expect it.
