#2 made me discover my inner strength and resilience

Sometimes, all that we want is to master ourselves. I remember back in the day how much energy I wasted on unproductive things. The fear of the unknown paralyzed me and didn’t allow me to grow. Then, after many years, I realized that I was living fear-based.
Fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of not making it. The struggle to be someone when people around me pointed so many fingers and discouraged me from thriving was huge.
Coming from a challenging childhood home made me grow in the need to defend myself.
I always thought people wanted to take advantage of me. Still, afterward, when I overcame my feelings of insecurities, I understood that all this was the inner little child inside me who was hurt and scared of so many things that she hadn’t processed then.
As I grew in spirituality and consciousness expansion, I understood the best part: The opportunity all those traumas brought me to heal.
The beauty of all that was that the more insights I had, the more I understood why I was reacting to situations the way I did.
The more insights I had, the more motivation I got to walk the healing path because the motivation was that I was finally healing.
I noticed that what some people told me had a different impact than before. Situations didn’t affect me the same way, and this was healing.
I found out then that I am the master of my life like William Ernest Henley writes in the poem Invictus: “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”
Along this path, I learned three great healing strategies that helped me master my life:
Avoidance
As soon as I started to avoid everything that didn’t resonate with my values and energy, I noticed that my time was more productive, and I had more time to do what was essential to my growth.
I let it go, allowed people to be people, and I was me, and boy, what a relief. Being in control only some of the time and allowing people to show me exactly who they are was an intelligent move.
I have saved a lot of energy and understood that the Universe was telling me: “This person is exactly this way and this energy doesn’t resonate with yours. Let it be”.
Mastering Avoidance: Look at your life and avoid everything that doesn’t resonate with you.
Faith
You know what they say: “Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26)
With the filter of avoidance I had already acquired in my life, the path was evident to me, so I could focus on what was important and be more grateful for everything I already had.
With gratitude by my side, my strength and faith increased because now I was focusing on the positive outcomes and the situations that were happening for me to grow.
Even though the results were not what I expected, it was okay because I learned with my faith to go with the flow and focus on the good that had already taken place in my life.
Mastering Faith: Believe in your essence, believe that what you want also wants you, and go for it.
Reorganizing
After the filter of avoidance was sharp, gratitude backed me up, and faith was in place. Now was the time to reorganize and reframe everything that was stagnating my life.
Here, all the unfinished projects were taken out of the forgotten shelf of my mind and brought to life again. I understood that when we start something and don’t finish it, the energy is still active, and the energy not put into action is lost.
By finishing things we start, we train our subconscious mind to always take action toward completing what we create.
Mastering Reorganization: Finish what you have started, and if you have many things to finish, create one at a time.
Final Thoughts
Regardless of your background, you will always have opportunities to heal.
By acknowledging what we need to change and taking daily steps toward those changes, we get more motivated even if the changes might hurt because deep inside, we feel we are growing.
Faith without work equals no result, so you should never give up on your dream and who you are in your essence.
Gratitude is a great tool when things are difficult because it redirects our focus toward what is working at the moment.
By finishing what we started, we train ourselves to be more assertive in adversities and move forward no matter what happens.
We get to build resilience and be the master of our fate and the captain of our soul.
