Look at your shadows, fears and judgments. Embrace that you have a dark side – whether you like it or not.
Your (Star Wars) “force,” your power, comes from CHOOSING where you act from. The “force,” or your power, doesn’t come from being the “good boy” or “good girl” by default, by guilt, by fear of punishment, or by the possibility of external recognition.
Your power comes from knowing that you can do good AND evil, but you make your choice.
You make a choice not because you are afraid of external punishment (judgment) or internal punishment (guilt and remorse). And neither because you seek external approval (praises and prizes).
YOU MAKE A CHOICE BECAUSE THAT IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOU AND WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU.
(For Star Wars Fans, The Rise of Skywalker is a good illustration. Right Kylo fans? 😉)
Be aware that many personal choices will make you feel guilty and make others judge you, especially when you do not agree with others’ agenda of how you “should” behave.
That is not because you are making a “bad choice” or “being bad,” but because it is changing what you, and others, are used to about how you “should be.”
For example, when you choose to take care of yourself, you may feel guilty because you are not attending to someone else’s needs as you think you “should” – your partner, your child, your boss, your company’s. And they may be upset because you are not serving their agendas. That isn’t necessarily a bad choice. It is a new choice.
The true “force” comes from being in alignment with oneself. It comes from making intentional choices that come from a deep place within.
To make choices regularly from that deep and aligned place takes time, awareness and practice. As it often goes against old habits and being simply compliant with the status quo.
May the force be with you this Halloween and all lifelong!
