Have you been aching for the pain of the journey, when it gets hard?
Feeling lonely, like all the worries in the world were pulled on to your shoulders.
You find yourself doubting all the progress you've seen yourself make.
It all feels so vain.
Like you were back to ground zero and nothing changed.
Here's the beauty in that moment.
It exposes your true fear.
And why is that so beautiful, you might ask, even feeling a little offended.
It's because it's such a powerful mirror.
When you truly face your fear, ugly and raw, you get to really know your power.
You know what you're up again to.
You can learn what makes you truly weak and what makes you strong.
I often think of it this way.
"So if this is what my truest fear looks like, what is the opposite spirit for it?"
And finding an answer to my question over time always takes me to another level in my growth.
Starting to act from the opposite spirit sets me loose to build up my identity in that specific area where I feel deeply vulnerable.
While I was in NYC fashion week a decade ago dressing up models, I was exposed to one of my greatest fears.
Coming from a poor childhood background the stigma never left me, until that week.
I was able to start healing as I knew where the wound was.
Dressing up to your new identity takes the undressing of the old rags as part of it.
When you now are face to face that hard part of your current journey, can you see the beauty in the hard?
How it's helping you to grow stronger and to heal.
There are such good, beautiful things coming your way, it's worth the growth pain.
Hugs,
Pia
