Rise as the whole damn fire

Facing great challenges is not a sign of your inadequacy or confirmation of a deeply flawed nature, rather it's that you're ALIVE! 
The loss of power we experience at such times is learned through negative conditioning. A deadly cocktail of fear/guilt/shame arises, and before you know it, you're drunk in it and dancing on the table. The default may have been to spiral into a dense funk, but remember that powerfulness is natural, and we can start to reclaim it at any time. Acknowledging the raw truth to ourselves, no matter how ugly it is, is the first step into liberation. 

Every challenge carries within it the seed for higher evolution, more maturity and greater radiance. It's the natural impulse of LIFE itself, wanting to create cool, new possibilities through you. As you take steps into the unknown, you may feel like you're losing the support of others, this is a temporary thing. You'll have the support of Nature with you, and while this may take some time to manifest as your outer reality, the immediate sign of this is a sense of greater wholeness and peace inside. 

IT’S OK TO FALL DOWN AND LOSE YOUR SPARK,

JUST MAKE SURE WHEN YOU GET BACK UP

YOU RISE AS THE WHOLE DAMN FIRE

- Anand Mehrotra, Himalayan Yogi & Master

THE NEXT TIME CHALLENGES COME,  BE A REBEL AND DISRUPT THE DEFAULT. HERE'S WHAT YOU COULD DO :
CELEBRATE, you're alive. Challenges will continue to come so long as we're here, but so will experiences of wonder, joy and beauty.
QUESTION the lies that fear tells you. You're not in a threatening universe that's out to get you, but held within a powerful, infinite field of LOVE.
LISTEN. The truth of this is beating in your heart. Love is whispering messages in the silence there. 
CLAIM your connection with the field of Wholeness and natural state of powerfulness in the present. Here, we're always being guided by Love in real time and we can see the way. ALWAYS!
