Resting on Laurels?

What I'm about to tell you is a story that took an unexpected turn at the beginning of 2018, leading me to a profound realization about the nature of growth and self-discovery.

At that time, I had been a student in Twin Flame Ascension School for just a few months. Every day, it seemed like I was uncovering a deeper layer of myself, inching closer to the person I aspired to be. It was a process filled with highs and lows, but the overall trajectory was upward, and I felt better with each passing day.

Around the New Year's of 2018, I found myself in the bustling city of New York, ready to meet up with a group known as the TFU (Twin Flames Universe), including my gurus, Jeff and Shaleia.

But it wasn't just the reunion with this group that made the trip extraordinary; it was something even more miraculous. During my stay in New York, I received a message from someone I hadn't heard from in a long time—Josh, my Twin Flame. He told me that he would pick me up at the airport when I returned home. To say that I was taken aback would be an understatement; it felt like a true miracle.

Excited about this turn of events, I immediately shared the news with Jeff, Shaleia, and their students in our group chat. Jeff's initial response was a simple "Good," but then he posed a question that would alter my perspective on everything: "But what feels bad?"

At first, it felt like Jeff had burst my bubble. I had just experienced a remarkable turn of events, and here he was, seemingly challenging my happiness. However, I soon realized that he wasn't trying to diminish my joy; he was guiding me to a deeper understanding.

You see, I had inadvertently fallen into a trap that many of us do when we experience moments of happiness and success. I had started resting on my laurels, so to speak. I was basking in the glow of my miracle, thinking, "Oh, I've had a miracle! Lalalala," and I was neglecting to be fully present with my feelings. I had taken what I had attained and turned it into a refuge, a place to numb out and pause the inner process of growth that I had so diligently cultivated.

—> Feeling my feelings was what got me here to begin with! Why would I suddenly stop once I attained a certain level? No! I should continue working the path.

With Jeff's guidance, I recognized that while I had indeed received a miraculous blessing, a new upset had begun to surface within me—the fear of losing my newfound goodness.

This was a pivotal moment for me. My guru, Jeff, taught me a profound lesson: it's essential to receive your blessings fully, but it's equally vital to continue walking the path of self-discovery and growth. In that moment, Jeff loved me perfectly.

I came to understand that it's safe to embrace our blessings with open arms, to celebrate the miracles that life bestows upon us. However, we must also remember that our journey doesn't end with one miracle; it's a continuous exploration of ourselves and the world around us. It's about feeling the full spectrum of emotions, even the ones that arise in the wake of our successes.

I encourage you to celebrate your miracles, to bask in the joy of your blessings, but never forget to keep walking the path. Life is a journey of both receiving and evolving, and it's in this delicate balance that we find the true essence of love, relating, and healing.

May you, too, find the beauty in this dance between receiving and growing, and may you embrace both with an open heart. ❤️
