Yeah, I flunked kindergarten. This made me into “compliant girl.” I had to live up to my parents’ standards about my grades and more. By the way, eventually, I was diagnosed as a person who has dyslexia.
So, there’s that phrase “live up to.”
As a girl, if I said anything original and an expression of my true self, I was chastised.
Yes, these were the parents who dragged me to THEIR church.
Recently, I had a conversation with a spiritual elder. The topic of “live into” versus “live up to” arose.
We, Witches, are called to LIVE INTO the divinity the Goddess and God placed within us.
We do not need to gain someone’s approval.
Each one of us is a unique expression of that divinity.
I remember one of my early boyfriends. I did not feel comfortable expressing my Wiccan spiritual path. So, I said nothing.
Are you finding that you tend to “live up” to someone else’s expectations?
What if you were free to “live into” your true spiritual path and destiny?
Here is a prayer you can use.
My Gracious Lady, Help me let go of others’ limiting expectations, Lord of the Greenwood, Help me live into my true destiny! So Mote It Be
Moonwater reveals how to endure the death of a dream and make space for new possibilities and new dreams. She refers to the process with a forest fire that makes space for new seedlings to grow. Learn a prayer to invite Goddess to support your transformation.
As I settle to sleep, I suddenly remember messing up when talking to a friend. “Damn!” I grumble. “You okay?” my husband asks.
“I’m all right. Just thinking about something I messed up.”
“You want to talk about it?” “Not now,” I say.
Do you emotionally beat yourself up? I have three insights for you.
1. Find healthy comfort.
A hug from my husband can help. Or a bite of a chocolate chunky chip cookie. (Okay, I must avoid going to extreme on the cookies!)
Comfort is not a cop-out.
Comfort is a necessary part of life.
Who or what provides you with some comfort?
2. Get outside in the breeze and more.
As a witch, you know your kinship with nature. Don’t hesitate. Get that 15-minute walk next to trees. Feel the breeze. See the sky. Connect with nature. Get out of the box (office).
How can you experience your connection with nature?
3. Make prayer your ladder upwards.
In the mundane world, we humans have limitations. Call for reinforcements!
Here is a prayer you can use.
Gods, shift my mind from self-blaming, Keep me growing with kindness and self-love. Lift me up to Your light. So Mote It Be.
