The reluctance I misinterpreted as a weakness


Fridays deliver a certain freedom. You see, generally speaking, Fridays deliver us a break from the week. They offer us a hint of freedom. They offer us a sunset upon work, and the prospect of rest.

But how unusual that Fridays offer this freedom. How unusual to be hanging out for the end of what we do.


I used to be eager for Fridays, desperate even. I used to yearn for them on Mondays; the corporate world was detrimental to my state of Being.


When I was offered the gift of cancer, I decided never to return to an office; instead, I honoured the loathe I sensed within about that restrictive 9-to-5 existence.


Now, that existence is not loathed inherently by everyone, much to my gratitude and respect for those who appreciate the office environment, but I was not an appreciator of that 'normality’, and so my Fridays, I treated like ‘get out of jail’ cards, only to return again heavy-hearted on Mondays.


Little did I know that my reluctance was a divine message. Little did I know that my energy of loathe was not restricting my success but honouring my truth. Because here I am on a Friday, not grateful for the freedom it has offered me, but for a week of doing what I LOVE!


Sometimes we can mistake our reluctances within as faults, as I once did, when in actual fact, they are Brilliances guiding us towards our appropriate path in this life.


If I feel reluctant now about anything, I connect with that energy and I find out why it’s there. I don’t shame it, I don’t deny it, and I don’t overrule it by the “shoulds”. I honour it and listen to its Wisdom.


This takes a certain degree of care because I need to listen not with my ego but with my inner Brilliance; otherwise, there would not be a clean toilet in my house! And that care arises with a bit of awareness about our truth because our truth is never reluctant, truly, to honour the all.


Find your freedom irrespective of Friday, and have a wonderful weekend of nows.


Thank you.

Kirsty
