What are Wake Up CallsWake Up Calls, can be your greatest Gifts when you listen to the messages Wake up calls are what some people call unexpected events, or experiences. They happen to all of us. They can be minor such as an argument with a co-worker, a small fender bender, or they can be big ones, like the loss of a job, a marriage, an illness, or death. We have all experienced these calls and as we know some of them can be life altering. They also don't have to been seen as a bad thing. However, most of us do see some of these wake up calls as devastating. These events are meant to help us notice what we are doing, and how it is working for us. They are meant to help us choose a change.Sometimes, however, it takes very big wake up calls, and many wake up calls, before you finally begin to notice and to take control of your life. It may take years, before you realize. For some of you, it can take many wake up calls before you begin to do things differently, and at times we end up beating ourselves up, because we had not noticed sooner. What matters is not how many wake up calls or how many years it's taken you. What matters is that you notice and begin to look at your story differently. Where ever you are, on your own journey of life, just know that it is exactly where you are meant to be. No matter what type of situation you find yourself in, just trust that you can take the next step towards creating peace in your life, starting now.If you currently find yourself living in an abusive environment, there is always something you can do to support yourself and help you move through it. You may not think so right now, and I do understand, because I too have been there. I understand first hand, how sometimes you may try really hard to keep this a secret, because you may believe that sharing this information makes you look and feel weak and makes you powerless. Sometimes you keep it a secret because you believe that telling others will make things worse. You may feel shameful, and embarrassed. You don’t always understand the reasons, and you don't always have to. Eventually you begin to recognize the pattern. You may also begin to recognize how you may be allowing your fears to stand in your way. This is all perfect, because once you do, you can begin to accept your fears, and begin to see your experiences as opportunities. Recognizing and accepting your own feelings and beliefs you have about yourself is an awareness meant to be explored rather than hidden. You have had these feelings, probably since the day you were born. Understanding where they came from and healing these beliefs becomes your goal and responsibility. This is what leads you towards a self loving change in your life.This is the place to begin. You may find that you are afraid of what others will think, or you may believe you don’t have the wisdom and the strength to do this. Remember it is what you think that creates your reality.Once you accept this, you will begin to find ways to release many of the false insecurities that continue to keep you living in fear. All you need at this time is a willingness to commit to doing your best. As you being this process you will begin removing the resistance, and you will face your own feelings and emotions and begin to take responsibility for creating peace in your life. It is important to begin to understand that your own experiences may have you living in what some call a defended state of alarm. I call it FEAR. This state of alarm has protected you and now rather than seeing it as a weakness, see it as a vulnerability in you that may seem too painful to bear.There are many tools and resources to permanently begin to release the layers of false beliefs and perceptions we all carry with us. If you have always believed that willpower is responsible for you success or lack of, you will discover that willpower has nothing to do with this sense of lack. Rather than willpower, your subconscious beliefs are responsible. When you find yourself reacting to situations which feel out of your control, begin to question your beliefs and your own thoughts. Be curious, and question all of your thoughts.Be willing to always do your best, no matter what that may look like. The Truth is: Your best is always good enough. Within you is a wisdom and a knowing which comes from an ever abundant source of energy called Love. This energy lives in you, and it is your birthright. It is everyone's birthright. There are many times when we forget, and all we have to do is remember this truth. You can re-discover your own intuitiveness, and begin to have faith and trust in your own abilities. You can learn to make all of your choices and decisions from a place of self love. You can lead by example, and pass this legacy onto your own children, and to everyone you meet. It takes a great deal of courage to face your own vulnerability and heal your own life. Sometimes it seems easier to point the finger out there and blame others, or expect others to change so that we can be happy. In the long run this will never work. "Acknowledge your own courage to be willing, in the face of fear, to step out of your comfort zone, and move through these feelings."When you remember the truth of who you are, everything and anything is possible.As you begin to see yourself as deserving and worthy, you will have this reflected back to you. When you begin to see everyone around you as capable, and when you see others as doing the best they possibly can with the resources they have, you will create peace in your life. Rather than continuing to hide your feelings and emotions, it may be time to find a safe place to allow them to surface, because resisting them is what is standing in your way. If you are fortunate to recognize the patterns, in your own life which have been caused by this state of alarm, doing nothing is doing something, it just means that you have given someone else the power to do this for you. and it may be time to reclaim your own power with LOVE. Notice your wake up calls.
