Dear Joshua,
When I made a note in my journal; "I like adding this to my artillery" but what does it mean?
"Feel the joy of challenging myself"
Thank you!
Allyson
Dear Allyson,
Who are you really? Are you the limitless being of pure positive love and acceptance that is your authentic self, or are you being a more limited version of that? The odds are that you are not being fully who you really are. Not to worry! No one else is either. However, you are moving toward that fully actualized version of yourself that is an authentic and unconditional lover and acceptor of everything that exists in your reality. That's who you really are. When you challenge yourself to become more like that, you will feel joy.
You have an inner self who guides you toward becoming more and more authentic every single day of your life. When you are authentic, you feel joy. When you are inauthentic, you feel some negative emotion derived by the fear that you are not perfect as you are. That is nonsense. You are perfect as you are even when you are not being authentic. Being authentic does not mean being good or worthy, it simply means that you fully and completely understand yourself to be good and worthy. When you do that, you will be consumed in love and feel joy fully. Until that time, you will catch glimpses of yourself and feel joy some of the time and fear some of the time.
You are moving from fear to love. Everyone is, but you are moving more quickly than most. The life you have lived has led you to an interest in the laws of the universe and the mechanism of physical reality. You know more now. You know when you are progressing along your path and you know when you are resisting. You are a highlytuned and sensitive person. You are aware of your feelings and this is very good. Bad feelings aren't bad and good feelings aren't good; all feeling are good because they allow you to navigate your way through this reality towards all that you want. Feeling challenged is not difficult or hard, it's rewarding and necessary because it leads to expansion and you intended to expand through experience. By challenging yourself, you open yourself up to more and newer experiences.
You intended to discover who you really are. Do you think you do that when you are playing it safe or when you are challenging yourself? Challenge yourself to live a bigger life. Challenge yourself and then process the fear that arrises when you perceive that the challenge is too great and there appears to be some danger. The danger is an illusion. Nothing can happen to you that is not part of the unfolding and discovery of who you are. You cannot make a mistake or do anything wrong. You cannot fail. It does not matter what others may think. It only matters what you think. Challenge yourself at every opportunity and you will feel more joy. Exhilaration is the feeling you will receive when you push past your fears and challenge yourself to discover new things about yourself that you never knew before.
Your reality is create through the discovery of who you really are. The more you understand the magnificence and perfection that is you, the more beneficial your beliefs will be about yourself. Your vibration creates your reality. When you raise that vibration through the adoption of new and beneficial beliefs about yourself, your reality reflects that and it changes. You receive new cars and wonderful European vacations, not to mention so many other wonderful things.
With our love,
We are Joshua
