Accepting The Truth: A Message From the Universe

Spiritual and practical guidance for the week ahead, or whenever you happen to see this 🙂

Today’s Message From the Universe reminds you that finding and accepting the truth of a situation gives it the best chance of succeeding.

Sometimes the truth is painful, but not always! Sometimes it’s just a quiet moment of realization that allows you to adjust your approach or make helpful changes to your plans.

The appearance of The Dragon Trainer here indicates that this realization is not some big “truth bomb” like a cheating partner or that you’re just no good at the career path you’ve chosen. This is a truth that is tied to your skills and learning in whatever situation feels big to you right now.

The truth in relationships

If this is a relationship, romantic or otherwise, it may be a realization that your person just isn’t capable of something you’ve been expecting from them, or vice versa. You may be learning how to communicate with each other in ways that are new to one or both of you, or you may just be learning how you fit into each other’s lives.

It’s also possible that you may be learning about yourself, as our relationships tend to trigger the unhealed parts of us. Abandonment issues, jealousy, codependence – understanding the truth about what another person is capable of giving us, and learning not to project your hopes or fears onto them is bigbig healing energy! We’re not looking at potential, we’re looking at what is.

You may even be discovering things you never knew you wanted until now. It’s crazy what others can bring out in us! It’s also likely that if one of these things applies, all of them will, at least to some extent.

The truth in business or creative endeavors

The truth here is a little more clear, there is much more learning to do (isn’t there always?). This could be as straightforward as taking classes to learn more about your thing or to add another element to what you’re doing.

You may be realizing it needs more time and energy than you thought, or that you’re a tiny little fish in an ocean of others doing the same thing. It’s possible you’re finding that the people you were sure would support you just aren’t, or that you’re playing for the wrong audience.

You may have even realized that you want to do something entirely different. If that’s the case, don’t look at the time and energy you’ve spent on it as wasted – you’ve learned a lot that you will be able to apply in many areas of your life. Take one small step at a time.

Maybe you’re really great at what you do in general, but have to wear many hats, some of which may feel too big for you at this time. It’s possible some of these hats may never fit well, and that’s ok!

I can use myself as an example here. One of the hats that’s far too big for little ol’ introverted me (and there are many!), is marketing and social media.

Someday I’ll be able to hire someone to help me with these things, but until then, I must make the best of what I’ve got, so I’m not letting imperfection or time and energy constraints get the best of me. I do this bit in little ways while I learn and plan to do better because “half-assing” it is often better than not doing it at all, especially when you’re still learning and honing your skills.

The advice is the same no matter your situation.

Ask yourself, what’s going on here? Why do you feel how you’re feeling? Why isn’t something working? Be open to the truth of it, even if it’s hard, then think about how that affects what you’re doing and find ways to adjust. Just keep taking the next best step, and then step back to review and revise before moving on to the next.

It might be good to seek out advice from someone who’s been there, but remember that someone else’s truth might be different from yours. Even good and well-intentioned advice is just a possibility; you must view it through the lens of your own experience to see if it’s worth trying.

Don’t lose yourself in overanalyzing either – while there may be many details you can dive into, you want to simplify and look at the big picture whenever possible.

Don’t assume either; work with the information that you know to be true and balance that out with experimenting with the actionable what-ifs. There will be a whole bunch of trial and error on this path, as there is with most things in life! 💙
