One of the most powerful indicators of the Success you'll have
One of the most powerful indicators of your over-arching Success — in business or in simply living the life of your Dreams…is how you handle Disappointment.
What you do with it.
What you allow it to mean about you.
What you allow it to mean about your Dreams.
How long you let it 'take you out' — of the game, of your Belief, of your Devotion, of your Desire, of your ability to Receive.
Tools to help you continually find your Power and your willingness to OPEN in the face of Disappointment are a game-changer.
But what about when you feel like you Disappoint OTHERS? What do you do with that?
This is also a form of feeling Disappointment.
Because the LAST thing you want — as the beautiful loving Heart that you are — is to Disappoint the people who love you, who Believe in you, who invest in you, who have shared themselves with you.
{ Some may see that as a weakness — I don't… That whole "screw what everyone thinks, I don't care if I disappoint anyone" may seem empowered, but we're BUILT to care about and consider the feelings of others... we're BUILT to consider the rest of the village… We've been endowed with this tendency by design. When we're not, in my view, that's counter to Connection, counter to Harmony, counter to Creation Energy... i.e. counter to the energetics of Thriving. }
So, you DO care about disappointing others. And so, what you do with that? Do you shut down around it? Either shutting yourself down, or shutting out those you've disappointed?
What do you allow it to mean about you? That you're less Worthy or Lovable now? That there's something wrong with you?
What do you allow it to mean about your Dreams? That you're somehow less capable of reaching them? Or that maybe they aren't meant for you anyway?
How long do you let it 'take you out' — of the game, of your Belief, of your Devotion, of your Desire, of your ability to Receive?
This has been a very real one for me. Me, the consummate (former) people pleaser, who hates letting people down. Even if it's just in my own head. I know how I coach around this, I know the Energetic principles I teach around this, but I'm sitting in the fire of "being a let-down" (my Wounded Ego's words, not anyone else's) so that I can burn away more and more and more of the part of me that is STILL being driven by the fear of being disappointing; the one who makes Choices SO THAT I don't disappoint.
Releasing her, Releasing the need to 'not disappoint others' WHILE ALSO coming into more and more Sacred Responsibility to the Hearts I care about, to the Beauty I'm here to be a Stand for.
And how I'm doing that is: Focusing on Expansion Energy — which is our increased capacity and ability to hold the Both / And, the This AND That rather than the Either / Or, the Paradoxes and the complexities and the ways that two Realities blend into one another in order to come into Union.
Our brains don't like this.
We want "the one way," "the one answer," we crave the Template to repeat on autopilot so we don't have to think, to feel, to Choose anew in each moment from the Fullness of our Power.
We wish we could just phone it in. We think that there's a "right" way that means we won't ever have to be Dissolved into the Unknown ever again.
That place doesn't exist.
Or rather, it does — but only in the Machine.
Because Love is the only reason we fear disappointing anyone else — or ourselves. And Love — the real kind; the capital-L kind — can never be pinned down, or defined into some nice, tidy, controllable process.
No, real Love asks for the mess. The middles. The blends. The Paradoxes. The Uncertainties and Unknowns. The complexities that don't seem like they'll ever have a clear solution. And so, can you let yourself both release the fear of Disappointing others (or yourself) WHILE ALSO upholding the beautiful place that that fear comes from, and continuing to care deeply if you do.
This is how we both Expand and also create more Sacredness, all at the same time.
Which is what this world — and each of us — is desperate for, right?
I love you.
