During many of my coaching sessions, not to mention heartfelt conversations with friends and family, there is one topic that bubbles up with great consistency that I would like to address today. It is the BELIEF that we literally have NO CONTROL over anything in our lives. And that is SIMPLY NOT TRUE!! Not only that, but the very aspect of our life that we have complete and TOTAL control over also happens to be the key ingredient to bringing you the success, happiness, peace, and abundance we all desire! The answer is who we decide to let into our TRIBE. Thought leader Jim Rohn has declared as one of his basic mantras that, “We become the average of the five people we spend the most time with in our lives.” And that includes our financial status, self growth progress, and every other pertinent part of the templates that together constitute who we are BEING and DOING with our lives! Why else do you think the Avengers are so AMAZING!! :0)
Think about that for a moment. And figure out who those five people currently are in your life. And please understand, this is in no way shape or form meant to be a judgment on anyone. Including yourself! It's just a sign of the ISNESS of where you currently are resonating in your life. You picked those five people for a reason. It's up to you to decide if you are ready to “up your game” and let go of anyone in your core circle who is toxic, or is not interested in self growth. Whether you realize it or not, they may be holding YOU back from becoming ALL YOU CAME HERE TO BE! That's right! And I ain't joking! This is serious stuff......
So if the people we choose to have in our life play such an intricate part of our happiness, why do we keep so many energy vampires and toxic filled Spirit's so close to us. In my experience it is because we are more willing to deal with the Devils we already know than the Devil's we do not. Meaning we would rather deal with that which we already know than to toss it away for something that is totally unfamiliar to us. That seems to scary!
There is also the factor of loneliness. As Rev. Bernard Beckwith used to espouse at Agape church in Los Angeles, “When you decide to leave the crows and fly with the eagles, you must leave all that you know behind. And on the way up above the clouds where these eagles soar, there will be many moments when you become fraught with loneliness and fear.” Your first thought will always be to fly back down to the crows that you know will always be there. DO NOT DO THAT! One of the differences that separates those who accomplish MAGNIFICENT things in life from those that do not is that despite the fear and worry, they never stopped flying up to meet with the eagles! Your Faith will be tested during this journey! Trust me for this I know!! For a while you will feel all alone and believe you have made a grave mistake. This is nothing more than a cleansing process of everything that no longer serves you. A ‘Spiritual Scrubbing Off’ so that a new foundation can be built that is big enough to now handle the grand new vision you are holding for yourself!! All so you will be able to build and create that AMAZING MANSION of abundance, LOVE, Peace, Joy, creativity filled with the smells of fantastic friendships and many majestic memories that makes life worth living!!
So do yourself a favor and do a heartfelt gut check on your current Tribe members. How do you FEEL after having co-creations with them?! Do you feel more or less energized?! Do they support the greatest vision you are holding for yourself? Or do they desire to hold you back so they won't feel bad about not having the courage to step out of their own doubts and fears to build the life of their dreams? Because you just may discover than you have to let some of them go. And as awful as that may sound, please Re-member that it is completely OK to let others go! All you are really doing is deciding to LOVE them from the other side of the room. You are in NO judgement of them in any way, shape, or form. But that does not mean you have to be a martyr by keeping people who have no business being in your life in your Tribe. Even though it may not feel like it at first, there are an abundant amount of Spirits in this world who would be honored to call you friend, and support you in every manner you could possible conceive! It's your job to be in ALLOWANCE of them into your life.......
To Living a BLISSED OUT LIFE!!
