My Biggest Mess and How It Changed Me Forever
Imagine finding yourself in love with the person you absolutely believe is your soul-mate and realizing that your lifestyle and beliefs are so far apart as to be devastatingly destructive to your spiritual well-being.
Imagine discovering that AFTER you are already in love as you never have been before and involved in a very deep and meaningfully committed relationship that not only encompasses the person but a shared community with people you both love.
But, oh, the love.
When it ended, I felt as if I would literally die from grief. I spent months, literally, suffering as I never knew a person could suffer.
It took years after that to be able to look back and consider ... how did I get myself out of that situation?
It happened the way it happened because I resisted letting go of what no longer served. If I had been able to admit the mess that I had co-created, and leave on my own, there might have been a happier ending.
The lesson I took away from that who experience is two-fold:
1. I learned that, no matter how big a mess I seem to get my life into, as long as I keep my heart open and I stay spiritually available, there are blessings among the painful memories.
2. I learned that I can truly trust my internal guidance system and that, when it says something is out of alignment, it's true. I learned to pay attention earlier, to the signs that a decision or choice could be made easier, earlier or in a different way.
