"Don’t sacrifice the wisdom that comes from being truly authentic, by believing that you must always be positive."
There is value is everything. The more you can truly own who you are (warts and all), what you feel (the good, the bad and the ugly) and your experiences (ALL of them), the faster you will move to a higher level of awareness within you.
Feeling truly positive is fantastic. However, when positivity feels forced or required, then it is simply a lie. It is something that weighs you down and prevents you from moving beyond your current circumstances, and into something more.
The only negative emotion is one that is either repressed, or taken out on others. Everything else is simply information. It is insight into a deeper meaning or experience within you, just waiting to reveal more awareness, understanding, guidance or inner connection.
Often people are reluctant to experience something that they have deemed as negative for fear they will attract more of it, or become stuck within it. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, the Universe acknowledges what is in your heart... your intentions, your light, your fears, your pain. It sees it all. And as you step into ALL things with an open heart and no judgement, you move through them quicker and easier, inviting the Divine to dance with you into the deeper understanding of your experiences.
So next time you are tempted to talk yourself out of feeling or experiencing something because it seems too negative, instead try opening your heart and feeling into all of it. You might be surprised at how quickly you can move through it and into a more authentically positive experience.
True authenticity honours ALL things... in order to learn from everything.
Much love and many Blessings,
