You Cannot Fail at life

Listen here

You cannot fail at life, my love.

You have been taught that you have to

Get a qualification

Get a job, or maybe start a business

Find “The One” and marry them

Buy a house

Have children

Go on holidays once a year

Watch TV

Retire

Go on some more holidays (ideally)

Play with your grandchildren

Watch some more TV

Get decrepit

Die.

You have been taught that you

Have to look a certain way

Have to behave a certain way

Have to aspire to certain things

Have to obey

Have to keep the questions tucked away

Have to keep your heart’s yearning at bay

Have to ignore this feeling that “There has to be more to Life than this!”

Have to follow the rules

(even if, or maybe especially if, they contradict each other)

You have been taught that you

Have to stay safe in this 3 dimensional world.

Don’t go taking risks.

This is what being a success is.

But you are not a 3 dimensional being.

You are multidimensional

You contain the Universe

What does your Soul want?

And as long as you are breathing, your Soul is having a wonderful time, and you are a success from your soul’s point of view.

Your Human might well find that some experiences are thoroughly unpleasant, and prefer not to experience them. Like sleeping on a park bench in winter because you are homeless. Your Soul might find that this is a thrilling experience, because you get to experience in the world in a completely new and different way. Your Soul knows that this does not in any way reflect your worth as a Human. But your Human could find that very challenging. So following some rules to not end up homeless could be a good idea.

What your Soul and your Human have in common, is a deep yearning to feel ecstatically alive.

Your Soul’s desire is for your body to be so light, that it can fully embody in it, that it can fully experience the wonder and the miracle and the intensity and the exquisite sensations of Life on Planet Earth.

How do we do that?

By following joy. Notice what lights you up, and be or do more of that.

Tune into your heart. What makes it sing?

Tune into your body. What makes it feel radiant and vibrantly alive?

You absolutely have your Soul’s permission

To not do what is expected of you,

especially if it is out of alignment with your Soul.

And if you do make choices that are out of alignment with your Soul,

It will offer you opportunities,

Again and again,

To make different choices,

To return to It.

You absolutely have your Soul’s permission

To let go of people

Who only suck your light

And leave you as an empty shell.

Even if they are your family.

You absolutely have your Soul’s permission

To rest

To try new things, and to not pursue them if you lose interest

To work so you can pay your bills,

Rather than to change the world

To sing out of tune

To play

To do things just because they give you pleasure

To have a messy home

To feel grief, and anger, and sadness and despair,

if that is what is arising for you out of your human experience.

To be completely enraptured by beauty

To love with abandon

To have your heart broken wide open

To adopt another pet.

What really matters, as far as the Soul is concerned,

Is the energy and the intention behind everything you are, do and have.

If you are living a life of love, gratitude and joy,

For yourself

And for other Beings,

You are inviting your Soul to come closer.

And that, my friend, is success.
