Why should we care about raising our consciousness?
When we set an intention to change and grow, we begin a journey in which we move from coping, to learning and finally, to the enjoyment of living.
Here are some of the shifts we move through:
From dependence on the clock, to charting a direction, to moment-to-moment guidance from intuition.
From doing things right, to doing the right things, to being your true self.
From lack of self discipline to having personal willpower to serving divine will.
From being out of control, to being in control, to trusting and letting go of the need to control.
With each step, we experience greater freedom, fulfillment and joy. Worth going for, don’t you think?
“Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom . . . The power to choose, to respond, to change.”
Stephen R. Covey
Change is never easy, whether it is good or bad, whether we are self-motivated to become the best person we can be . . . for any reason.
Having faith and trust in yourself through the changes helps with any life transition is the greatest way I have found to cope with change.
Although becoming a widow after a long and happy marriage was the most devastating event of my life, the lessons I have since learned about life in general . . . and myself . . . are proving to be invaluable lessons for the rest of my life.
The ultimate freedom in life is being able to roll with the changes and use whatever the situation is for greater good in the future. Life lessons can bring awesome change for the better if we only have faith and trust within ourselves to make good things happen.
Everything happens for a reason!
