So what is your greatest challenge? How come some people have less challenges than others? Why do some people struggle while others simply seem to waft from one easy situation to another? I have spent years trying to figure this out. Could there be an underlying plan for each individual? Is there really karma? Does an astrological chart hold any secrets or understanding?
The thing that I have realised is that the people who have been most challenged have become increasingly authentic. They know their limitations, they know what they are capable of and often these people have more compassion and empathy for others. Have you noticed there are people who have had it easy and just don't seem to be able to connect with others or even consider how others feel? It is all about them. There are those who have been through life's wrangler and will be there for those souls who need help at the precise moment. What is it that makes them so helpful? In my opinion, it is often their depth of life experience.
So with all this in mind, what is the our greatest challenge? In my humble opinion, the greatest challenge is to 'become', to be the true and authentic self. To be able to embrace our shadow: the bad, the ugly and the downright awful. Once we have faced our inner dark vault and all the monsters then we can accept ourselves. Once we unite the denied fragments of self we can share our whole selves with the world. So what do we need to do to find these fragments? There are many techniques; however, my favourites are energetic work, emotional journeying, network spinal analysis, psychoanalysis and emotional freedom techniques. The thing is the world is often telling us what is wrong with us, it is not right or wrong, they are just parts of self. What many people don't realise is that everyone has those same characteristics in them somewhere. That is what makes us human. What's more, when we suppress these aspects of self we give them power. The suppression travels across society and that suppression builds anger and aggression and perpetuates fear. Yet when we accept and resolve anger and understand how it arises when we are out of control, then we begin to have tools to grow and to become.
