This post is going to suck for some of you because the ego is not going to like it. Mine sure didn't. In fact, I still fight this notion at times.
Being fully in control when life feels so out of control is so very paradoxical.
Yet it is only from the higher realms of consciousness does any of this make sense. Oddly enough our human experience rarely has us in an elevated state long enough to dwell in this truth.
So let's break it down in a way that makes sense and helps to give you your power back.
In order to understand that you are in control of your life experiences comes from the "Mirror Principle".
You are not the reflection, you are the source of the reflection. The mirror is just reflecting back what you are expressing in front of it.
So let's look at control. You are in a car and you have total control of getting it and yourself from point A to point B. But what happens when you come to crest of a hill only to find out on your decent down, that the brakes have failed? Now you can double down on your driving skills and control your way to safety, or you can look at your experience of control from events that lead to the brakes failing.
At first their was a spongy feel to the brake pedal a few weeks back.
Then there was the brake fluid leaking on the concrete in your garage.
Then there was that slow stop in the grocery store parking lot that had you almost hitting the woman and her child.
Fast forward and here you are careening down the hill having a crises that you have always had complete control over every step of the way.
It's happening exactly how it was meant to.
Having issue with your relationship? You control that!
Having financial challenges? You control that!
Having health and wellness issues? Yes, you control that too!
How's your ego doing?
I can hear it now, "I get it Coach, but that's a stretch. You can't control what others do and how they impact your life."
No, not directly, but if you go deep enough you'll see the connection to everything.
Kick out the ego and everything becomes utterly facinating!
You'll begin to see synchronicities, happenstance and seemingly random events actually begin to line up for you. The shoe will drop and you'll see where the first domino tipped in your chain of events that lead you to right here and right now.
This level of deep control also helps to instil self responsibility. You'll see how YOU created it all. Yes, even the actions of other people. As you do, it helps you to take your power back.
Now nothing is outside of you. There's no blame, no projection on to others, and there's no playing the victim here.
As the Remarkable Man you are. You are the controller of your life. All of it!
So as the ego resists this idea, as it does, breathe in this truth and see how it feels when you tell yourself, "I AM in complete control of my life!" Yes, even when it is totally out of control.
Just claim it all, and accept it as "Damn! What a fucked up wild ride of a life I have created! This was for my highest purpose, and with it something is coming that is incredible. I am in control and I get it now."
This is the the voice of a Remarkable Man planting his flag!
What are your thoughts on being in control of your life? What's your ego wanting to say?
