Thank You for Having the Courage to Be You!

From The Wide Awakening Weekly

“On behalf of those who asked for you to go before them, as they were not yet able, thank you for the courage to lay the bricks for their path.”  (Tweet Tweet!)
~ Jennifer Hough

There are those whom we don’t even know, who helped pave the road we are walking.

They knew not how the inspiration came, nor where they found the courage, nor why they knew the words to use.

To be blunt, YOU, my dear, are the way-maker for all those who are Awakening from a history of struggle and hurt very similar to yours.

So please appreciate every brick you lay on your journey, for it will be walked by millions after you.

And on behalf of those who asked for you to go before them, as they were not yet able, thank you for the courage to Awaken to yourself!

That is the privilege it is to be alive, and to be you.

With love,

Jennifer xoxoxo

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
