You’re Worth the Trip

Having faced some really challenging moments in my life, I’ve chosen to cultivate an appreciation of "hell", not a fear of it. I’ve realised, when I stopped making the fear, doubt and pain I feel "wrong" and welcome them as essential parts of this unique life experience, everything changes.

I become like an athlete who loves the grueling discipline of her training, determined to awaken to a power I didn't know I had, purely because that's the experience I want. I wanted to feel and meet myself there.

I’m learning to tell the difference between challenging myself, and slave-driving to prove a point.

I’ve accepted… THIS is my path. I’ve stopped looking for an exit route or an easier option and trust that if it’s coming into my awareness, I have the inner strength to face it.

When you think of your path right now, the one you're called to walk, what comes up for you? Discomfort? Fear? Pain?

Sit with it.

Can you feel it?

Is it internal screaming? A little voice, crying?

What's it saying?

There's no need to distract yourself. The more you engage with it, the less scary it becomes.

You’re worth mucking through the sludge, wriggling with discomfort and opening in the pain, to find clarity and love, for yourself and life, at the center.

You’re worth the trip through hell and back.
