« If you want to grow, you have to deliver yourself from your own armour » - Kent M Keith« Si vous voulez grandir, délivrez-vous de votre armure. » - Kent M Keith
J’aime beaucoup l’histoire du singe et de la noix. Une si jolie parabole...Imaginez un singe qui glisse sa main dans un trou de quelques centimètres pour aller récupérer une jolie petite noix déposée dans un arbre. Il salive déjà à l’idée de s’en délecter; on ne lui donne que des bananes depuis quelque temps, et le pauvre en a assez! Petit pépin lorsqu’il tente de retirer sa main, par contre… Elle est plus arrondie maintenant qu’il a agrippé la noix, donc elle ne passe plus à travers le petit trou par lequel elle était entrée. Le singe est pris, la main dans l’arbre. S’il reste accroché à la noix, il restera prisonnier… et affamé. Il doit la laisser aller pour pouvoir se libérer.(C’est la technique qu’utilisaient certaines tribus pour attraper des singes, apparemment…)
Évidemment, la morale de l’histoire est de lâcher prise – littéralement! Parfois, la magie n’est effectivement pas dans ce que l’on crée, mais dans ce qu’on accepte de laisser aller. On a le sentiment de sacrifier une chose précieuse en renonçant à la noix et en retirant notre main, mais on retrouve ainsi quelque chose d’encore plus important: notre liberté. Car c’est la noix ou notre liberté. Et on perd davantage en craignant de perdre qu’en acceptant de se détacher.
Quelles «noix» est-il temps pour vous de déposer? Peut-être est-ce le temps de cesser de vous agripper à la perfection, au contrôle, à votre réputation, à vos regrets ou à l’opinion qu’une certaine personne se fait de vous, par exemple? C’est souvent lorsqu’on a le courage de laisser aller ce qui nous semble le plus indispensable que les choses débloquent et commencent à couler avec grande fluidité. Car lorsqu’on retrouve notre liberté, il n’y a pas de limites à la quantité de noix que l’on peut cueillir et déguster… ;-)

Law of detachment
(p. 91 – The seven spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra)I will put the law of detachment by making a commitment to take the following step:
1) Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me, the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby, creating new problems. I will participate in everything with loving but detached involvement.
2) Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.
3) I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.
Law of intention and desire
(p. 79 – The seven spiritual laws of success by Deepak Chopra)I will put the law of intention and desire into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
1) I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go to my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.
2) I will release the list of my desires and surrender to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don’t seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those that I have conceived.
3) I will remind myself to practice present moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my intention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future to my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Get out of your way

Get out of your way and relax into who you are. If you try to emulate another person completely then who would be you? We all have talents and expertise, strengths and weaknesses. Celebrate your strengths and acknowledge your weaknesses....work on them both if you like, though, in my mind, working on weaknesses makes your strengths more powerful while at the same time helps you pull yourself forward.
Many spend so much time fighting feedback. Instead of truly listening to what others are saying, both directly and indirectly, usually they fight back....spending an inordinate amount of time and energy arguing about the message rather than taking an objective look at it and doing something about it. Fighting blocks effective listening, breaking down communication and growth.

Most people spend the greatest percentage of their time fighting their blind spot. We don't like to hear we're stubborn or never listen. We like to think we're perfect. If we see weaknesses in others so readily, why is it so difficult to see it in ourselves? And if we took feedback and used it to get stronger, what would be the downside?
What do you have to let go of in order to listen generously?
