“You are not a peasant sheering sheep, as you have thought. You are a king dressed in rags who has amnesia.” ~ Allison Nappi
As I write this last batch of weekly horoscopes for 2014, I can’t help but reflect on just how crappy this year has been for many of us. Don’t get me wrong; there were plenty of amazing opportunities and adventures to cherish, and I know to count my blessings. But overall, this year has been rather dense, and I’m looking forward to offloading some excess weight.

The greatest challenges I have faced over the past 12 months have become my most teachable moments. Isn’t that always the case? Where we struggle is where we grow? Psychotherapist Ken Page put it another way when he wrote: “our deepest wounds surround our greatest gifts.” In his HuffingtonPost article, “How Your Deepest Insecurities Reveal Your Greatest Gifts,” Page described his ability to see beauty in the mistakes of some of his clients. The woman that gives too much in relationships, for example, believes this to be a bad thing that gets her into trouble. She fails to recognize her caring nature as a gift that she needs to honor – a gift that also needs to be honored by significant others. Page’s argument, in other words, is that how we perceive ourselves can literally shift our reality. This, interestingly enough, has been a hard lesson for me to learn.
Of course, shifting one’s perception of self is difficult to do, especially when you consider all the stuff that’s been added on by society, our parents, our friends, and etc. But it is possible. What’s more, it’s up to us to do it. This requires that we no longer play the victim or come up with excuses, and if it means honoring our gifts instead of shaming our flaws, then so be it.
