You know those roadblocks you have been running up

You know those roadblocks you have been running up against? The ones that you think block the path that is supposed to be yours? Maybe your response has been to try to push harder, to try to control what is not yours to control, to thrash, or any other number of emotionally exhaustive ways to breakthrough. Even if we break through, the True Self's did try and warn us, we just refused to listen. Unnecessary pain lies on that road we thought had to be ours. The roadblocks are there to help you ponder and tweak or entirely change or daringly believe that your life is capable of far more than your limited thinking in this moment can trust to be true.

The roadblocks are your True Self's gentle and then more jarring way (if we ignore the first helpful signs) of telling us our path is different, and we just have to be brave enough to trust it. This is one of many ways our True Self's communicates.

New on the blog to begin a new week in Monday's Motivational post 🦋 Decoding the Inner Compass: How Our True Self Communicates
