The motto for the month of July should be, “I choose what to be responsible for.” This is a month when there is going to be so much going on that finding a way to keep your center in the midst of such transformation will be at best challenging and at worse demoralizing. So take a moment and really look at what your responsibility is at this time in your life. There will be so much going on that you will only be able to do what is really yours to do. You will not be able to save the world but you can protect and support yourself and those that you love.
Yet, in the middle of such enormous change there are always opportunities for those who see themselves as willing and deserving of such advancement. When we all notice that it is time to let go of an old pattern, magic can step into your world once again. I am always amazed at how fast the universe will respond to your willingness to step out of your ego’s need to control situations and your wills need to be validated. In those moments when nothing seems to be working and you finally admit that this game you have been playing is not fulfilling your spirit, then often that is when the divine will intervene on your behalf.
So any tempting proposals need to be seriously considered at this time. But do not be foolish and jump out of a burning house into molten lava. Look before you leap. Do the footwork necessary to build a strong foundation and allow for total honesty and integrity in all transactions. Do not allow the desperateness of the global malaise to infect your rational side.
If done right you can find active and enthusiastic people who will introduce new concepts and options to you. This will be a moment when you will need to challenge yourself. If you are willing to do the new things, then an unexpected gift will open you into a new and exciting world.
But when you change know that you will also be upsetting the applecart that has been keeping your life stable. Others will not appreciate it and you may feel that you are becoming the target of malicious gossip. So beware of trickery and do not fall prey to another’s wiles.
Sometimes there are moments of huge growth that required you to let go of your old self and to begin to explore your authentic self instead. You will need to see the window of opportunity when it presents itself, because all windows open and close. They do not stay open. You have to be willing to leap into the unknown and trust that your soul is strong enough to handle what ever presents itself in the future.
If you miss the window, you may feel as if the bad turn of events will require you to find a way to ride out the storm. When you allow your insecurity to drive your reality, this means that you are letting strong attachments in your past to limit the options in the future because of old fears. This will only make the changes more painful and is not the best use of your energy or time.
Often it is our stubborn need to be right that does not allow us to see the childishness of our choices. And that defensive posture will not allow us to experience growth and change. You cannot always be right. You cannot always have what you want. It is about taking what you have, being grateful for those things and then finding new and interesting ways to do something with them that ultimately creates success and fulfillment.
So this month, look at where you are hiding yourself. Where are you not letting yourself take action? Where are you overly protecting yourself? Where are you justifying not moving because of the beliefs in your head? Where are you letting your old conditioning limit your options? There are a million ways to get to an outcome. You only need to be willing to try some different ones to feel a shift and to find movement. Let you life become a grand adventure. Let the hero of your story be you. You can only be a hero if you are willing to step out of the norm and risk. This is the month. Seize the day. Become your authentic self.
