The above is a quote from Ray Dalio, the hedgefund manager of a very large investment firm. I love this quote because it embraces our past to enhance our future and I think that is so very key to our development as human beings. I talk about this and more in todays podcast.   Sometimes we get caught up in our 'stuff' and it feels to daunting or overwhelming to deal with. This is normal, however, using things like this cue allow us an opportunity to take the weight of our situation and find those things we can actually control and go forward into a new uncertain space with new evolved thoughts and actions. After all, it is resistance, which leads to growth. Read between the lines of your own curriculum. Question your owh constructs often. Become steadfast in your evolution and the refining of thoughts. If you stay static in thought, you will feel the same things consistently. If you are malleable and dynamic, the strength and ability to move freely from your constructs will liberate you. Honor your own journey and that it is a gift firstly to you, and then to others as your expression of growth. Our plights, circumstances or past actions may not always be what we are entirely proud of, however the reality is this IS our journey and part of our path. It is necessary as I see it to embrace our past actions as grateful events that can, and hopefully do, shape our development and future to come. Our journey is ours. It is individual to us, our pain, suffering, triumph and beauty is all our own to embrace. This is part of our amazing gift to others. Our journey is individual to us, however it is not to be shamed or judged by others, and hopefully not us either. Rather, we can learn and acknowledge to go forward in a new way, with a new perspective and information, to lead to a new potential that perhaps our 'past shameful actions' did not allow. It is a matter of perspective. Mercury retrograde. This is a big deal and I cover this in depth, to my understanding, with my experience at hand. Here are some links and feel free to find your own to affix any or no meaning to this for your own experience.   I love you dearly!
