Your Professional Centre is Opening
You have chosen this card, as your Higher Self is asking you to reassess the way you measure success, to be less critical of yourself, and to celebrate the miracle of your life and all of its gifts.
The professional challenges you have chosen to experience are telling you that you judge yourself too harshly. This is a world driven by goals that can distort your view of success. True success reaches beyond what you simply achieve in getting your goals met. You must learn to celebrate all the steps along the way – loving yourself through every stage on the road to reaching your goals. What’s the point of the goal if you are not able to delight in the journey there? Learning to value your self is the key. Embrace the little seemingly insignificant positive events – a happy coincidence, a great exchange with a colleague, a sense of flow on a project that you care about. If you acknowledge what is working in your life rather than dwelling on your (perceived) problems you will harness the inner machinery of your being to operate in alignment with your dreams.
Self-love is at the core of any true feeling of success. Any lack of flow in your professional life stems from your tendency to devalue your self-worth. If you don’t feel self-love then you are sitting in self-judgement. Any love you give yourself is conditional based directly on how much you judge yourself. Judgement is always the separation of self from its Source – and connection to Source is the ultimate success.
In disconnecting from Source you create an invisible line between your-self and what you judge in order to make you feel safe. Judgement creates a separation that makes you different, special and therefore safe from the world around you. ‘I am better than my neighbours, my co-workers, my boss, etc.’ But these judgements designed to protect you from the world become the tool by which you measure yourself. You keep to these rigorous standards in order to maintain the line of difference – creating separation. Even your complaints reflect a judgement about yourself. Healing the lines of separation will align you with your professional success.
Most of the lines were created and taught to you by your parents. Their rules of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ defined your inner yardstick for how to be success-ful in the world. Your judgements are based on this inherited ruler. In order to avoid breaking the rules you keep the lines of judgement in place out of fear of being punished, shamed or made wrong. In doing so you dull the tools of your imagination and fail to reach your fullest potential. Your world view and accompanying behaviour are limited by these old boundaries. Any movement beyond is ‘bad’, ‘wrong’, ‘sinful’, ‘unladylike’, ‘not what we do in this family’. Therefore, you continue to struggle to break through the boundary because your present judgement is never going to accept the alter-native – which again is about connecting to your Source (not your parents).
When you set your own rules and cross the lines created by your parents – in your present mindset – you are a ‘rule breaker’, ‘Bad boy!’, ‘Bad girl!’, ‘Too big for your britches!’, ‘Who do you think you are, miss!’ You are somehow breaking an internal vow made out of obedience to your parents. In this mindset you lack compassion for your desire to be your own self, your own creator, your own Source of what is right or wrong for you. This lack of forgiveness creates a cycle that is designed to keep you exactly where you are in line with what you perceive to be safe. It is time to forgive yourself. Acknowledge and understand the bravery it takes to move beyond these lines that separate you from your greatness!
Forgiveness begins with a question – a question seated at the core of your judgement. When you find yourself in judgement the opportunity is presented in that moment to examine the root cause of your separation. The key to the question is to determine how this judgement reflects back to self. When we judge others we are attempting to separate from ourselves, from a part of our core that is still unacceptable to our inner compass of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. Embracing the reflection without judgement allows you to return to Source. The experiences you perceive as failures are situations designed to make you ask the right questions. In this way you reset your boundaries and measurement of success.
In choosing this card you have signalled that you are ready to step outside of your self-imposed boundaries. You are ready to fly. Take your blinders off – you are worth so much more than you think. It’s time for you to set the rules of your value.
