As we are wrapping up the final weeks of the Master Key Experience, I find myself grateful to be focused on mastering emotions. It is only the beginning and so much of my story has not been written.
The 5 day retreat was an emotional journey of connecting with my body, mind and higher self in ways that I didn’t know where possible. It was emotional to witness all the identities I had created fall away so that I was with me, myself and I. It was inspiring to recognize and relate the events of my life to my purpose and to see how they assimilate and apply to my gift of service. It is through my journey that my purpose had time to bloom. I marveled and found new excitement in simply being alive. It is my hearts desire that every person take this silent time for themselves.
I returned home, ready to move forward with this new knowledge only to be faced with a challenging event that would end in heart break as I said goodbye to our beloved dog. The emotions continue to flow as I adjust to not having our constant companion. The deep appreciation that I have for the space Marlow held in my life is even more clear now that he is gone.
I am embracing the plan of battle daily:
- If I feel depressed I sing.
- If I feel sad I laugh.
- If I feel ill I double my labor.
- If I feel fear I plunge ahead.
- If I feel inferior I wear new garments.
- If I feel uncertain I raise my voice.
- If I feel poverty I think of wealth to come.
- If I feel incompetent I remember past success.
- If I feel insignificant I remember my goals.
Today, I will master my emotions. – OG Mandino The Greatest Salesman in the World
It is without a doubt that life will continue to change, it is our only guarantee. I am going to embrace every moment and love the hell out of it every chance I get.
Onward, there is greatness in us all.
