Sometimes I don't feel like using my advice
This week, I had a problem that bothered me a lot. I found myself more engrossed in the challenge than actually moving towards a solution. In fact the more I considered a possible solution, the more upset I was that I even have the problem to begin with.
Did the challenge go away? No.
Did being engrossed in it amplify my anxiety about it? Yes.
Did I listen to the advice that I give others? No.
If you think that all spiritual teachers listen to their advice 100% of the time, you’re just putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. Your favorite teachers also deal with resistance, no matter how amazing they are. That’s just facts on facts. It doesn’t make their message false. Many times, the messages that come through a vessel are for the vessel too.
I don’t share because I’m a Master. I share because I have tried out the things I share, and they work. When I don’t use them, of course they don’t work. And sometimes, I don’t feel like using my own advice. It’s that simple.
As I’m wrapping up this message, a part of my brain is telling me that I need to find a way to turn this letter into a more cohesive lesson. It may have been easier if I was writing about taking your own advice, but I’m not. I’m writing about it being okay to not take your own advice. Anyway, if you’re out there questioning yourself about the authenticity of what you share simply because you still struggle with life’s challenges, please know that PROBLEM DEY EVERYWHERE, and PROBLEM NO DEY FINISH!
