Two words that have come into my life all too often.
With each time though, I am able to use the experiences from my past to harness how to move through these.
A couple of years ago I was listening to a Brene Brown podcast who was interviewing Tarana Bourke…. The words “if it’s meant for you, it won’t miss you”… resounded and began stirring something.
These words stuck with me.
Whenever disappointment, and rejection come my way again, I am hurt and being an empath, I hurt deeply. But not as deep as before. It’s hard when what you want doesn’t eventuate. It’s a tough life lesson when you try to move your life in one direction, but some situations do not allow to eventuate or simply move in another direction.
It’s the mantra that has enabled me to see that I really don’t need to have anxiety in things that are beyond my control.
As we settle into understanding who we are: how amazing we are; how amazing our strengths are, we can harness this mantra better. In a way that allows us to realise that our lives have an amazing purpose. Each and everyone of us has a destiny that goes beyond our own limitations. It’s often when we strive to gain something that it’s not in our striving that achieves the results. It’s the understanding that you are enough and what is meant for you, will NOT miss you.
All too often we allow others to affect us in ways that only become real when we least expect. We can allow others to affect the way in which we see rejection and it can be all consuming. I am an empath, and unfortunately this means that I feel way too much. When my friends feel hurt, I feel hurt. When my friends begin to start a new chapter, I feel that, either in a good way or bad. As a friend I "should" be the one who throws my hands up with excitement, however being an empath I also feel what "might" or what "could".
However, it's not actually my job as a empath to be the one who helps them to make that decision. Rejection and disappointment will come, but so will joy, peace, love, excitement.
So the next time you become anxious when things are going in a way that you had not anticipated or really hoped for, know that everything happens for a reason and a season. That sounds so corny, so I will use my mantra instead as this sounds way more profound.
Oh, and one more thing. Rejection and disappointment WILL come. One thing to remember is that not everyone will see how amazing you are. Don't continue to stay in those spaces where others don't see your shine. Don't continue to strive to get the attention of others who really can't see how amazing you actually are. You can waste so much energy and time trying to be in this space. Everyone has their own course, stay true to yours.
