yummy you

I love catching an intel stream and last night’s awakening was this: Expectations keep us from our True Selves.

So simple, like, no duh. And yet, WOW. SO PROFOUND.

When we put an expectation on ourselves or someone else, we are putting, if not a literal box, a very REAL box, around our Self or that Someone. An expectation says: Don’t be yourSelf. Be THIS instead.

Expectations by nature are unmoving. So we are the ones that have to change to FIT the expectation. Hear THIS. Whenver you are trying to adhere or fit to something outside of YOU, it ALWAYS requires an edit of your Natural Self.

Expectations are insidious. They are insidious because they BLOCK Freedom & Creativity. Freedom & Creativity come from the Soul, so expectations block the SOUL. And, because they are part of the FABRIC of the everyday, expectations exist unseen.

Until we SEE them.

A handful of years ago I remember declaring that I wanted our family to be a certain way, a certain way that it was NOT. My son said something like … this is the family we ARE and you are discounting it.

His straight from the heart statement hit me right between the eyeballs. It was TRUE.

Expectations not only keep us from ourselves, they keep us from others and the present moment. They are not healing. They are hurtful.

And this I know. Once you wake UP and become AWARE that you have been living according to expectations, it is possible to change, to rise above them.

This rising is what comes naturally to the Soul and is what you were born to BE. When you allow your natural Self (Soul) to express, when you BE WHO YOU ARE, you are no longer adhering to expectations.

It is Magnificent YOU, flexing and flowing in the Gorgeousness of your amazing Soul Energy and HMM-HMM is it YUMMY!
