Challenges to the Incarnation of Your Deed

We each find a variety of challenges to the incarnation of our deed. Do not feel hopeless about these challenges. Recognize them and write them down. Flood them with the energy of self-compassion and self-acceptance. In that loving mood, write down the sources of healing, liberating and overcoming these challenges. Look at what results you seek, what processes you will undertake, and who will support or guide you in this work. Do this work from or out of your highest observing selfhood - your I am. Remember these challenges do not deny the existence of your "I am" they just challenge the incarnation. Too often we don't understand this and feel we lack a True Self or lack a purpose, meaning or significance.

Just find a part of your psyche that is like your scout or guide, who will move ahead of your True Self to clear the path, build the bridges, learn the languages and make the way for your destiny to unfold and your deed to manifest. You can do this.

As you go over these broad categories of challenges. Spend a few moment with each one and make it specific to you. Remember you do not face all these challenges. Your thinking may be clear but your emotional life may be dominated by fear. So you hesitate even when you know the action is the right one?

You may have a tendency to do things prematurely - too soon - but your sense of proportion may be beautiful.

You may find that you don't stand upright between front and back space but your sense of left and right is perfect.

Just go through this exercise as a work of compassionate self-awareness. If you need any help ask a good friend or you can schedule a 15 minute conversation with me.
