We may shame others through blame to deflect what we perceive to be our own failings

Hiding of the self - Afraid to face what's in the room, using denial to avoid having to own and deal with what we are experiencing as discomfort.

The mind wants to project to release the pressure of any present discomfort.

The gift is to become aware and sit with it, let it dissipate and try and understand what stories we have made up about what happened that made it uncomfortable for us to take responsibility for what is

Owning what is happening for you will allow you to make space for others to be the same

Let me know what comes up for you when you reflect on the poem.

What blame have you been projecting onto others and what would owning it open up for you?

Trust yourself - All you need is within you

Comparison and copying others seem inviting options if you are not grounded in the meaning of your true self

We can be inspired by others and celebrate their success with them without having the sense that you need to copy them to be successful yourself

You step out of the essence of who you are and dilute the energy by which you are to attract your own tribe when you start comparing yourself to others

Knowing that you are unique by design frees you up to stop comparing yourself with others and walk your own path.

The pressure of trying to be what you are not called to is lifted when you step into your own uniqueness

Work on understanding what you stand for. Are you a means to an end or being meaning itself?

Let me know what comes up for you when you reflect on the poem.

Where do you find yourself comparing yourself to others to establish your worth?

We could resist what is good for us because we are uncomfortable or resist because we believe that it is not helpful for us.

Resisting something you don't want focuses your subconscious on manifesting it as it does not recognise the logic of not wanting it.

Better to transcend (ascend) it by focusing on what you want instead.

Learn from what is there that you don't want, why don't you want it and what do you want instead, then focus on that.

You could spend time and energy resisting or arguing about being in the basement or just ascend to the balcony instead.

Embrace uncertainty, look for opportunities in the unknown, spend time with yourself and let peace move through you.

There is power in truths that meet you when and where you need them the most

Let me know what comes up for you when you reflect on the poem.

What can you learn from what you are currently resisting?

The mind keeps carrying on the charade that it can predict the future and covers up its poor track record.

The mind cannot predict the future as there are too many factors it does not control that come into play.

The one-sided story of the mind is that it can use past data to predict the future and help you make decisions that would help keep you safe by flagging and encouraging you to avoid uncertainty.

The context of the past is different so would not necessarily be reliable for predicting the future.

The past does not equal the future. You never step in the same river twice.

It is not helpful to compare what is, to what was but instead be open to new possibilities of what could be.

Strip away the clouds of what-ifs to see the sun of new possibilities

The grass is always greener on the other side because we have a story about what we have not being green enough, so we push our experience of the sun into the future only to repeat the process once we get to the grass we said would be greener in the first instance.

We would not exchange $10,000,000 for the privilege of seeing another day, let's celebrate being alive like it's worth that much to us.

Gratitude is a great leveller and perspective shifter for appreciating all that is here to serve us in the present moment.

Make peace with the ground zero of reality, accept what is and then in the present moment choose the most helpful way to relate to it, with gratitude, humility and willingness to learn and grow.

Whatever feelings we desire exists within us if we drop out of the story that says we need events outside of us to occur for us to experience them, we have a more direct path to doing so.
