I
have just had a days-long experience of being locked out of my
Facebook page. I have never had an experience like that before, where I was
asked repeatedly to prove who I am. It was like I was on a never-ending cycle
or treadmill, all leading back to a statement that my account was temporarily
locked. When I was just about to attempt to reach them by phone, I decided to
try yet again to resolve the issue myself with fresh, rested eyes.
At
that point I remembered my recently adopted mantra, "IT IS WHAT IT IS."
With that fresh perspective, in very few minutes I had the issue resolved and
my account was "unlocked."
After many hours over the last few days, trying to prove my own
identity, I thought of how we many times lose contact with who we are. Each one
of us is a unique individual, with unique talents and abilities. We - each one
of us - has the ability to be the creator of our lives. And if we don't take
charge, then our lives will be like a ship at sea without an engine. That was
exactly how I felt until I realized that I had temporarily forgotten my mantra,
"IT IS WHAT IT IS."
I remembered anew that I needed to give up the fight, and almost instantly the issue was resolved. I was reminded of the correlation to my physical healing journey. When I was first diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. I literally lived in the disease. when I gave up the fight and tuned into my body's innate and unique healing ability, things began to turn around.
To me healing is synonymous with change. Perhaps what you need to
heal is a sick relationship, or perhaps you are in a career that you need to
change. Incidentally, many times having a sick body is intertwined with an
unhealthy relationship or a job that is unfulfilling.
Steps
to healing anything:
1) Accept what is.
2) Give up the fight.
3) Remember who you are.
4) Believe in your own uniqueness
I
know that you can heal whatever in your life needs to be healed.
I did it
and you can too!
