Do you feel like you’ve reached a road block? You have a desire, but you just can’t seem to get motivated to work towards it. Perhaps you’ve come to the conclusion that you don’t have the will power to move forward, toward this desire. I have to tell you, it’s not just about will.
Famed Psychologist, Roberto Assagioli, tells us that our will power, like anything else, can be exercised and made stronger. We never lack will. If you can move your hand to your mouth to feed yourself, you have will power. It takes will power to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen. So, the road block lay deeper than will power.
The next question is what is it that stops you from moving? I believe we will nearly always find the issue in our Shadow; the Shadow being those qualities that we disown as part of our personalities. It is critical that we find this part of our self, and integrate it back into our persona.
Why would this be important? Real road blocks stop the flow of traffic. The road blocks of our Shadow stop the flow of our vital energies. You may be doing great in several aspects of your life, but when this great energy meets your Shadow road block… well, get off the bus because you will not go any further.
Once you remove this road block, your energy will flow, and you will clearly see this is not just a will power issue.
Love and Bright blessings ~ Richard
