Overcome The One Thing That Holds You Back


Even if you believe now you are journeying through the valley of death, remember your final destination is the safety of a warm embrace and a loving home. To get to that destination do not squander your life, nor spend it frivolously; invest what you have in the lives of others. Only one obstacle holds you back. Overcome that one obstacle.

To invest life, you must share unencumbered by guilt. What you experience, what you feel, fuels you. Choose good feelings.

For peace to reign, forgive - all and always.

By joining with others in relationship, in love, you become whole.

Today is not life in the fast lane; it is life in the oncoming lane. Ego puts you in the oncoming lane and accelerates life so that you find it difficult to hear the still, small voice guiding you home. To recognize truth, overcome the obstacles in your mind: "I have been wronged," and "I am unworthy." Both these misperceptions (arrogance and fear) require true forgiveness. The journey from sleep to awakening is made in small steps.

Overcome the hubris of ego by learning to forgive. Refuse to judge, condemn, criticize or complain. Accept responsibility for all you experience. Let go of perceived hurts and perceived injustices. There is no one to blame and nothing to fear. Forgiving is giving peace, allowing a smile and inviting laughter despite the circumstances.

You are not separate from your creator. You are not alone. You are one - whole, complete, powerful, and loving. You forgive yourself in the same measure as you forgive others.

The promise of life is this: your journey is meant to be one of abundance, excitement, joy, and opportunity. You have a unique purpose, a unique mission, and unique gifts. To fulfill your grand purpose, to contribute, to grow, to learn, to live, to love, to feel alive - overcome ego - that aspect of your being that insists you are alone, separate from others and separate from what is. To succeed, master ego.

Overcoming ego and instead trusting in the truth and beauty of the experience is the difference between life or death, happiness or despair. By facing fear and letting go of the need to judge, you learn to forgive. By forgiving you find your place and your purpose in this world. Open yourself to the journey - to the magnificent opportunity.

Recognize the promise of this life, and in so doing overcome ego to fulfill your potential.

The truth is, you only have one obstacle to overcome. The obstacle is inside you. Everything you see around you - the challenges, the trials, the confrontations - pale in comparison. The only obstacle holding you back is ego. Choose to overcome the one thing that holds you back. The choice is always yours. Make the right choice!
