Sacred Contracts

 Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it.-Carolyn Myss

Ever wonder, what is my purpose? Am I just supposed to live in this house and go through the daily routine of life or am I to be used for something bigger? Carolyn Myss wrote a book called Sacred Contracts

Explaining what Plato first wrote about centuries ago. Before we are born, she writes, we make a sacred contract of whom we will be and how we will live our lives. Everything from what kind of childhood we will have, our careers and what people will be in our lives.

You can read about it in further detail and even find out whom your archetypes are. The concept is an interesting one. If you see everything that happens to you in life as an agreement you made in heaven before you were ever born you can start looking at different situations or people in your life in a different light. Why would I ever agree to have this annoying relative/friend/neighbor in my life? Well, I did so now what am I supposed to be learning from them or what are they learning from me? Why this illness or hardship? Reasons are not always so clear. It may take a long time to figure out why you chose this path for yourself. But once we accept that this is my roadmap and stop struggling against whatever is happening to us in our lives and just go with it having faith that this is exactly where you are supposed to be the more peaceful you will be and the quicker you will be able to recover from whatever is happening.

We have all had difficult people in our lives that drive us crazy. You know what it feels like when you have a toxic relationship and you decide one day that you have had enough and you change your whole way of thinking about that person? You say, you know what? She/he is never going to change and I have to stop expecting them to be a certain way and I’m just going to accept that this is what it is. And all of the sudden that person can’t push your buttons anymore! They can still be in your life and may still act or say the same old stuff that would make you nuts but if you are in a different mindset then it doesn’t affect you. It’s the best when you energetically disconnect from a toxic person. Say whatever you want, it doesn’t bother me in the least! HA! You know in that moment you have fulfilled your sacred contract with that person and it’s on to the next thing.
