More Opportunities
Since letting go of trying to control everything, and completely opening up my mind and truly letting the Universe work in all its magical ways, I’ve been presented with several opportunities!
As I mentioned at the end of my article back in January, I was presented with the opportunity to put myself out there and teach Reiki to a classmate with whom I took my yoga teacher training. I taught two Reiki I and one Reiki II classes and Spirit was leading others to reach out to me to teach them before the pandemic.
It was also during that time that the Universe saw fit to open the door to the dating world once again. Once discussions began via text, almost immediately the topic was spiraling to the same subject matter I experienced many years ago. I am not a prude by any means; however, I was uncomfortable with parts of the conversations pretty much from the beginning.
I felt a little taken aback since I didn’t even know this man! I actually thought this might be a good match since the opportunity was presented to me by a close and trusted friend.
Ahh, but there I was jumping ahead to an outcome before anything had even started!
As texting continued for a few days, I set boundaries on topics that I felt were inappropriate with someone whom I’d never even met yet. Apologies were made; even through a phone call; however, the boundaries I set kept being crossed and that nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach got stronger and stronger.
Though this time it wasn’t fear! No, this time it was my intuition speaking to me loud and clear! My intuition was telling me that I’ve already had these kinds of experiences in my past and with all I have learned at this stage of my life, they were not longer acceptable! So, I politely told this man I wasn’t interested in this proceeding any further, which he accepted with no problem, as I figured he would.
Have you ever been given the same situations over and over again and wondered why on earth the same things keep happening?
For a couple of days, I kept wondering why the Universe brought me the same type of man I had always experienced in the past, and then it hit me!
This was my opportunity to put all my self-growth to action.
In the past I always had a hard time setting boundaries with people in general and especially with most men. I made the decision a few years ago when it came to relationships with the opposite sex, I would not accept anything less than I was comfortable with or less than I deserved and this was my chance to prove it to myself!
I am so happy and proud of myself for listening to and acting on my own intuition! Are you listening to yours?
