Shy Owl’s Soap Box

Ever find yourself wanting to give up on everything? Feel that it is all worthlessly pointless so why bother? Why bother? That is a great question. Does it matter at the end of it all if you actually wrote that book or took that trip? Who cares? Do you care?
We all find ourselves in this space at one time or another. That is life, that is just the way it is.
So to answer the question, “Does it matter?”…we should ask the woman you might meet on that trip who is at the end of her rope and the smile you give her or the coffee you bought her gets her through another day. We should ask the person who crosses your path and there is not a soul in their world who can bring them help and you might just be the one to do it, the only one who can. What about your children who might look back and see that you did get up and you did try. You might have failed, but you tried and that effort will be what they remember as adults. No kids watching? Poppy cock, someone has another person looking at them and up to them if they only take a moment to notice. If for no other reason, it is worth plugging on so you don’t have to sit in your own life review room and look at a screen full of all the things you didn’t do. Feel old? Feel like it is too late? That is a nasty nasty excuse to continue in life the same way you have. When are things going to change for you? When you decide they are going to change. That really is all you need to do to effect change in your life. Make a decision and then of course FOLLOW THROUGH! It does no good to make a choice and a plan if you don’t do anything with it.
So you answer that for yourself. What is does it matter? Do you really really want to look back and see that you did nothing?
Find love in yourself. Find peace for yourself and plug through.
Blessings

Love is the most common theme in every reading that I provide. It seems to me that there is a difficulty in letting go of the self in order to become part of a whole. That of course applies to both sides of the fence.

Your ego benefits in keeping you in a stagnant position because it allows it to remain in control. The first step to finding love is to let your ego know that you do still need it on some level. It is the mechanism by which we are able to interact in the earth plane. You need your ego as much as you need, to an extent, your fears. Your fears let you know when there is danger. It becomes a problem when fear is created by your ego as a tool for control and is then owned as reality.

It is a tough path, working in this world dealing with essentially an angel and a devil on your shoulders at all times bickering and conspiring against you. What can be done? You need to get them on the same team. To look at each fear or reaction in a detached way, to asses where it is rooted. Instead of just dismissing and pushing through, find out why this energy has arisen. What are you being taught?

By getting everyone on the same team, you will find yourself in the position to let someone else into your life in a healthy way. Love is the sharing of energy towards the same goal of learning this life’s lessons efficiently and effectively.

There are some other tools you can use to help you find love. Carry a rose quartz or wear it. Red aventurine as well as basil and cloves. If you already have a medicine bag, add it in, if not, any small pouch will work nicely.

Love and forgive yourself. How can someone else love you if you hate yourself? How can you be respected if you don’t respect yourself?

Lastly, be open and receptive. Not unwise of course, but open. As you set out the energy for love, you want to be certain you are drawing in the right kind of love. Throw away the notion of “soul mates”. Mostly that is an exaggeration brought to you by Hollywood. Your actual soul mate comes in to challenge you, not to make your life a piece of cake so you may want to rethink pulling in that energy.

Many Blessings
