We get what we need

If we need a victim story, we’ll get one.

I don’t mean just the retelling of events and/or the way we’re interpreting them.

I mean, we will actually “call in” an experience where we’re victimized in some way.

Life loves us so much that it will actually reorganize itself to give us exactly what we want and need.

It’s constantly proving us right.

If there’s a PART of us that needs to be abused, that’s what we’ll get. If we need to feel virtuous, we’ll get it. If we need to prove our innocence, we’ll be given an opportunity to do that.

I believe we actually create our own little melodramas just so we can have the experience of overcoming them 🤯😳

Kelly Brogan calls it “playing hide and seek with ourselves.”

But why?

I believe it’s so that we can SEE ourselves and ultimately heal.

What better way for us to fully grasp our own internal landscape than to see it materialize in the external?

. ..and I mean play out BIG.

This morning, I caught myself in a rut. ..I knew I was stuck but could not find my way out of this little cyclical hell that I kept recycling over and over.

Finally, I said: “this is not real life,” and wrote out every single thing exactly the way I saw it.

The whole victim story.

Here’s the thing: it’s not a matter of whether or not the story is TRUE or not.

It can absolutely be TRUE.

The question is, what are we going to do about it?

Where do we go from here? How tightly will we hold to the beliefs that created this scenario?

This is how we expand our consciousness.

This is how we can tell we’ve outgrown an ideaology or paradigm that once provided us with a sense of safety but has now become constricting.

If you’ve stuck with me this far, then there’s a resonance with these ideas on some level.

You know as well as I do that this sh** is hard and extremely disorienting, and 💯 worth it. .. #teamhumanity 🙌

The pictures are of a little shopping center down the road.

Full disclosure: these shops are not where I’ve had my most profound thoughts or transformative mystical experiences.

They do, however, help me access a sense of grounding necessary to go a little deeper with my personal work when needed 💖✨
