TAKE WHAT YOU GET.....

There are certain things about ourself that we don't like. Right?
So we emotionally reject our "stuff"
And go searching for something more, something better, and/or something different,
Leaving the old stuff behind,
Buried where we won't have to look at it any longer.
What was it for you?
For me the coffin contained anger, frustration, resentment,
Boredom, jealousy,
Grief, hurt, anxiety and fear.
Quite a pile!

BUT

The journey kept bringing me back full-circle to the gravesite,
To find that some dog had dug it all up while I was away.
There it sat,
And there some of it is still,
Waiting to be integrated with all that I have learned along the way.
It is not until we at least begin to integrate and embrace the old
That enlightenment can possibly occur.

Are you in a job or a relationship that has lost its magic?
Do you want to quit?
Naturally! I can relate with that.
But if you quit while you're disenchanted,
You're just going to go out and create another just like it.

I'm not saying "Don't quit."
Some relationships and situations are toxic
And we need to get away.
But you must earn your exit....
Before you quit
Look at the stuff -- your stuff --
That killed off the magic.
It will be lying around just under your nose.

What is it that you tell yourself is wrong about this relationship, this situation?
What is it that you get to be right about by creating this situation to be the way that it is for you right now?
What are you telling yourself your partner is? Your boss is? The situation is?
What are you telling yourself that You Are?
Whatever is wrong about the way your partner is,
Whatever is wrong about the way your job is,
Whatever is wrong about the way your situation is......
Those are not The Problem;
The problem, for you, is that you don't think you can handle them being that way without getting upset about it.
That's your problem;
And that's all you have to deal with.
Fortunately.
(If your partner, boss or situation has to change for your life to get better, you may be well and truly fucked)

And.....

If you don't clean your stuff up before you quit,
You're going to take it all with you into the next relationship/job/situation.

Have a look at this possibility..........
This relationship,
This job,
This situation that is bugging the crap out of you
Is offering you the insight and the opportunity
To discover the crap you need to clean up.

Who knows?
When you clean up your stuff,
Maybe the situation won't be like you thought it was.
And even if it is,
You can break clean.

And that's the good news.
You might like to look at the possibility of being grateful 
For the opportunity this situation is giving you
To get out of the rut you're in.
No, I haven't lost my marbles --
Gratitude for What-Is, if you can allow it in, is the magic ingredient "X"
That will transform you life!
If you can't find gratitude for the situation just now,
Don't worry;
You can still do it.
But gratitude makes the job so much easier.
