According To Whom?

3/22/2015

Only when we begin to focus on our own personal development, does our self-esteem and self-confidence begin to rise, leading us to begin valuing ourselves a little more.

I was in a session with my therapist the other day (yes, I have one, and she’s wonderful) reflecting on the many conversations I had had throughout the week. There was a common theme that came up over and over again, on how many of us operate under some kind of foreign authority. This foreign authority begins with the conditions of our upbringing set forth by our parents, and continues through our academic experiences. It is further influenced by social contacts, and eventually solidified by man-made laws that govern. I say that these authorities are foreign because they typically fail to incorporate our true values. While I do believe we need rules in place for living life on planet Earth, I prefer they not cancel out my own code of ethics.

The best way I can explain this kind of foreign authority is with my decision to practice Astrology professionally. I never would have chosen this path had I not realized that it was ultimately my path to choose. In no way did this fit the "traditional" path I was on – Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, steady job, working up the career ladder – and it never dawned on me that I could live by my own authority until I actually took the time to creatively envision what that authority would entail. Imagine my surprise upon discovering that what that was had nothing to do with what I thought it should be. My own rules, I’m sure, will continue to be modified as I continue to evolve. But it will be of my own accord going forward, and with divine guidance.

We’re in between eclipses, which Astrologers describe as the veil between heaven and hell. I personally don’t believe this two-week window to be so dramatic, but as we approach a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra on Saturday, April 4th, an opportunity to right a wrong will arise (particularly a wrong that has had us hard wired to live, think, and be according to someone else’s mandate). If you’re ready to live life on your own terms, don’t stick to the same ‘ol broken record when the needle clearly wants to skip tracks. In other words, only you can change your tune.

This felt like that first bite of chicken soup in winter...and that first sundress in spring

When I've found myself on the proverbial ledge, surrounded by (self-appointed/self-righteous) "authorities" on MY life, it was only after I closed my eyes and jumped that I realized I had wings.

Hi Rochelle,

I loved this "it was only after I closed my eyes and jumped that I realized I had wings." That's how faith and spirituality works. You gotta jump! Thanks for your comment :-)
