Finding the Strength You Don’t Have

Sometimes God challenges you to find strength you don’t have. Only like this will you go beyond your imagined limits. 

You must be pushed so far that you are forced to be humble. Only then, when your pride and arrogance are crushed, will you discover muscles that are not yours. You will find and use the muscles of God.

When you completely abandon yourself, your ego, this miracle becomes possible.

~ Mooji

I find so much resonance in the messages of this teacher. His words are balm for my soul during another incredible healing time in my life.

I find myself in a familiar (yet uncomfortable) time of much contemplation, and an ocean of healing tears, deep connection and powerful release.

I feel raw, tender, softened… yet the light remains bright within.

These are my thoughts at the moment…

We try to stay comfortable. We try to cushion and soften every rough edge corner and prickly experience.

We do everything to avoid discomfort.

We think it is a bad thing. That life not always going our way is bad.

We feel as if we must have done something wrong or that we are wrong.

We feel that life is wrong because we are hurting.

Yet…

The joy and ecstasy that is available to us sometimes cannot be felt or experienced fully unless a level of discomfort comes.

Growth, expansion, and change comes with discomfort.

I know. It can be exhausting.

Sometimes excruciating. Sometimes overwhelming.

Sometimes we have to “die” to be born again. Sometimes we have to die again and again. And again.

Sometimes we have to be pushed so far that all we can do is raise the white flag and give ourselves over to the divine.

I’ll tell you one thing… I choose not to color coat my life. We see enough of that. It is time for true, raw vulnerability.

I have chosen to share my story, my truth…including the beauty, so-called loss, all of it.

Life is not always shiny and sparkly and each of us has a story to tell. Not to wallow in or be run by, but to use as a place of connection.

We need to hear each other stories.

I often go through periods of intense internal struggle and transformation and I know you do too. Let’s share more and support each other.

In the name of love,

Lisa
