Building The Skill To Reframe; I Don't Have Obstacles, I Have Observations.

In the realm of self-leadership and personal growth, there comes a point where one must confront the patterns that hold them back and hinder their progress. 

Recently, I had a profound realization: instead of seeing obstacles, I should view them as observations. We all have heard the adage "It's not an obstacle, it's an opportunity", and I still believe that, however, my realization goes perhaps one step further. 

This shift in perspective unveiled a recurring theme in my journey—a cycle of emotions and setbacks that I believed I had overcome.

However...

Upon further reflection, I recognized that my underlying motivation for success was rooted in fear and worthiness, rather than inspiration and confidence. As many are, and like don't even realize it, I was still seeking external validation and waiting for circumstances to change, rather than taking ownership of my own narrative and energy.

Each year brought its own set of challenges, from external circumstances to personal struggles, yet I found myself repeating the same patterns of victimhood and self-sabotage.

Looking back at my earlier writings and endeavors, I realized a stark contrast in my mindset and approach. When I operated from a place of confidence and abundance, opportunities flowed effortlessly, and my work resonated with clarity and purpose. However, as challenges arose, I allowed myself to be consumed by fear and doubt, shifting my focus from growth to survival.

It became evident that true progress begins with self-awareness and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. Instead of blaming external factors or waiting for rescue, I must take responsibility for my own mindset and energy. By embracing curiosity and reframing my perspective, I can transcend the limitations of fear and scarcity.

This journey towards self-mastery requires resilience and humility. It means acknowledging the shadows within myself and finding strength in vulnerability. It means releasing the need for control and surrendering to the natural flow of life.

Most importantly, it means trusting in the inherent abundance of the universe and aligning my intentions with the highest good.

As I embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation, I am committed to embracing each moment as an opportunity for growth. I no longer seek validation or security from external sources, but rather cultivate a deep sense of inner peace and fulfillment. By operating from a place of observation rather than reaction, I empower myself to create a life of purpose and authenticity.
