Back in the 1980’s I became interested in spirituality and I began to have this feeling that spirituality could lead me to higher ground and personal happiness. I began to read books about spiritual topics and I began to meditate.
At that time, I had a thought, a vision, if you will, of leading spiritual groups and conversations. I didn’t feel even remotely qualified – just the opposite, nonetheless, it was something that felt very strong in me. I didn’t tell anyone. It would have felt crazy to tell anyone about it!
How could I know that what I was feeling I’d LOVE to be able to do with my life was the very thing that I was called to do. I just felt so unqualified.
When I was in ministerial school, I remember Michael Beckwith saying, “God doesn’t call the qualified, God qualifies the called – and all are called.”
I’ve been training Quantum Counselors and certifying them for 10 years and one of the first things we HAVE to work on in the training is eliminating the idea that we’re a fraud, a fake, and completely unworthy of being anyone’s counselor. EVERYONE I’ve ever known who is a great teacher or counselor has to work on that and eliminate it in order to do what they feel called to do. Everyone.
Undoing that belief in unworthiness is what we all must do in order to truly liberate from the ego’s grip. It’s easier than we think. Much easier. And it can actually be a great deal of fun.
I’m heading off to lead my Forgiveness Retreat and I’m excited for the adventure this retreat will be. An adventure in forgiveness and intimacy. Doing this intimate work together in a group of people is so deeply fulfilling for me.
I absolutely LOVE that I get to share so many healing conversations. It makes every day inspiring and I’m so happy to get out of bed in the morning to get to whatever miracles and inspiration the day will bring to me.
If you feel that you would LOVE to be able to be a spiritual counselor or teacher or some other profession that seems way, WAY out of reach, just know that it felt that way to me too. For a very long time.
We’re all called to awaken, to liberate, and to be truly helpful for our brothers and sisters. We all have a higher calling.
Joining together, listening to each other, sharing inspiration as well as the heartache and the shame is what we do to heal. It’s wonderful that we can do it.
Hold that vision. Give it to Spirit to bring it to fruition, but hold it in your awareness with willingness to see it unfold. I’m so glad I did and that I continue to. Every day is a miracle now! For Real. Every day that I live a peaceful and harmonious life is a miracle to me.
