Frustrations, irritability and impatience seem to be prevalent these days within relationship. It feels like we are being emotionally tested by those closest to us or for the most part, doing the testing ourselves. I am noticing so much internal power struggle as many are searching for a new purpose to redefine their lives.My sense is people are feeling ‘bored’ with the way they presently envision themselves in this world, in relationship to one another, This boredom walks hand in hand with emptiness of self, and these internal power struggles are seeking pathways to express themselves externally, usually being projected onto the relationships we engage in. Disagreements, arguments, people have mentioned a ‘not quite right’ feeling about themselves or those relationships they are in. Impatience is rising and some are feeling the need to make drastic changes in friendships, in partnerships of various kinds. Some are feeling the need to make drastic changes within themselves. Addictions and compulsive behaviors might be at their peak these next few weeks.
As we are coming closer to the end of this year, these days will require all of us to be courageous in our ability to cultivate a courage like we have not known before, We are being asked to redefine and create a new understanding of trust in one other. We are being guided to hold space for ourselves and those around us allowing for growth to take place in ways we are not used to. Some of this might be challenging, even frightening. I know many of you might be wondering who you are these days, or questioning the person you thought you knew your entire life. I don’t think we should compel ourselves to figure this all out now. I think we should take a step back and allow the unwinding of this internal tension to give way to possibility. How can we discern what our relationships are all about if we are still trying to figure out who we are in this time? This process needs a gentle heart, an open mind, and a clear vision which will assist us in embracing loss. The loss of old identities and patterns which were needed to be in the relationships we have been in. The loss of what was so we can allow for the possibilities of what could be.
Be patient.
Our hearts and the hearts of those we love depend upon it.
