Learning how to discern truth and communicate truth can only be derived from sincere self acceptance and willingness to look at yourself with loving curiousity and honesty. Most often, what we see in the workplace and in our own relationship with our self is a lack of acceptance, which means there is an unwillingness to BE with the truth of what is. So let me ask you.. HOW DO WE LEAD WITHOUT MASSIVE SELF ACCEPTANCE?
We don’t. Plain and simple.
Why? Because without acceptance there is no trust when the truth is staring us straight in the face. Truth is all around us and yet without self acceptance we will not be able to flow with the truth and TRUST the path we are on.
TRUST is the essence of flow. People will not flow and connect with each other without it.
Is this already connecting some dot’s? I hope so!
Your leadership is rooted in the strength of personal freedom and how you get to personal freedom is by taking responsibility for how you are in relationship with your self. You own it. ACCEPT IT!!! So what is it that I am accepting exactly? What you are learning how to accept is the CONNECTION that you have with life, love.. God, whatever that is to you. You are connection! You have connection! Connection flows through you. You have the power to choose whether or not you live as open or closed connection. Most people run from this responsibility. But those seeking to lead their lives with power, freedom and confidence will step up to the edge of fear and OWN that responsibility with courage and grace. They will accept it like a super hero.
So we are finally here! Learning how to accept and take responsibility for our personal connection like never before. We are arriving at a place where we are so done functioning from a place of fear in relationships, we are finally willing to walk the road untraveled instead of marching the same darn trodden path that leads to the common.. status quo. This fear that we all have learned and practiced teaches us competition and to accept the idea that we gain power by winning or defeating another. That is NOT power. True power rests in equality. This shift we are making is internal and we are learning to come back to the art of acceptance to open up and BE the connection we really are.
We are tired of the power-struggles and games we play with each other because it simply is exhausting and unfulfilling. It’s getting so uncomfortable in relationships, it’s forcing us to look at our self. Yes?
Instead of behaving from fear and repeating closed off cycles of competition and defeat, we are naturally desiring to behave from love and begin collaborating in openness and abundance for everyone. So when we do not have self acceptance, we will open and close the connection based on what is around us instead of the choosing from the power within us. This creates serious ups and downs as you open and close to the flow of energy that you are. To master the connection and stay open, self acceptance is key. Self acceptance is the art of letting go of judging, comparing, and holding others in contempt or blame and just allowing what is to BE as it is. The moment we step into that old pattern, we disconnect from our power and that flow of our abundant energy goes no where. Are you experiencing this in your life right now?
1. Accept that the goal of relationship is to bring life.
The goal of relationship is not to fix. If you are trying to fix relationships then you are creating hardships for yourself. Accept there is nothing wrong in the flow. There is nothing to fix in the connection. Accept there is nothing broken in you or in life. Life is whole. There is only the choice to accept what is there.
Are you trying to fix relationships and make them better? Do you feel judged and blamed. Are you judging and blaming?
2. Accept that trials shape us.
Without acceptance of what is in the flow of life, you will become ridged and hurt instead of allowing the beautiful shaping of your soul. When you close off from the connection because of this, your life will become difficult and you will become the difficult person others have a hard time being around. Fighting what is in the connection only leads to rigidity.
Are you stuck? Do you feel defended and rigid? What experiences are you resenting?
3. Accept the flow of life as it is.
Practice patience. When you are patient in the connection then you can feel more spaceous instead of rushing against time. We feel more when we are given the space to be free and be as we are. This allows the flow to work in favor of your life instead of against it.
Are you in a rush? Do you feel life is working against you? Are you always pushing, forcing or making things happen?
4. Accept you are supported by life at all times.
When we only see life or love as the good times we will close off from the flow when things get difficult. Either way, if things are easy or challenging your heart can remain connected and open. This will allow you to lean into the flow of the experience and receive the gifts of that experience instead of leaning out of the flow and disconnecting leaving you empty handed.
Do you run away when things get hard? Do you have a tendency to back up instead of leaning into adversity?
Remember…Accept what is in the flow and what is coming and keep your connection ON!! The more we accept, the more we flow. The more we flow, the greater we trust. The greater we trust, the stronger we LEAD. You got it.
Lead on!
I am with you,
