Most of us ask for our desires to be met in ways that ensure that others don’t want to meet them. We complain cajole, or ask for the bare minimum. Naturally, after they resist meeting us, we feel justified in the claim that they don’t really love us and don’t really care about us. We seldom question that it’s our attitude towards ourselves, our own desires and our mistrust of others that is driving their resistance. It is NOT our desires that are wrong and bad. It is not that others are wrong and bad, and it is not that we are wrong and bad. It is exactly those 3 assumptions that block a clean and clear communication of our desire into the world. If we adopt the following stances, it will be much easier to make requests and have our requests be met. There is one caveat to this though which is why I think most of us are scared to do this. We must be bold and vulnerable. We must expose ourselves to the possibility of judgment and rejection. After all, they may still think our desires are ridiculous and say no. Can.you handle that? Can you keep your heart open through that heartbreak? Do you KNOW that you are still worthy, your needs still matter, and you still can get them met no matter what happens in that next? Let me convince of those premises.
Desires are good and are meant to be met. Your desires are there for a reason. They want to be expressed through you. They are not there to torture you. They are there to create expansion in universe. You are a participant in the expansion of the universe. The more you participate, the more the universe expands. Life wants to and can meet your desires: Life, the divine wants to take care of you. Life wants to love you. Life wants to make you abundant. You may not believe that now because it has not been your experience.
You are worthy: Your mere existence is an indication of your value and your belonging. You are part of creation, so creation wanted you here. It’s not about your accomplishments and accolades that make you worthy. Those are outgrowths of your being. Your mere existence has inherent value.
Of course your desires can be met. We live in a universe of infinite possibilities. We think we need to make all of these sacrifices. We think we need to sacrifice our needs for those of others. Sometimes we think we need to sacrifice one need for another need. That’s not true. We are sacrificing is the perception of ourselves as limited. We are sacrificing the perception of the world being against us. We are sacrificing
I hope this messages leaves you with a greater sense within you that you can have what you want. You don’t have to fight for it. You don’t have to earn it. All you have to do is claim them with a trusting, open heart.
Take care
