Inner bully

Inner Matador

Many times, we choose to disengage from life – not walk into the arena.  In moments of self-lulling, or detachment, we separate our observations from our intuition.  In times like this, when risks appear to shatter our spiritual cohesion, our inner matador steps in to deflect the negative impact.  Like my young friend, we see signs of caution, but our will to remove ourselves appropriately, wanes due to our inattention or lack of self-honor to acknowledge the situation exactly as it is.

When we notice and obey the signs of life, new paths open up for us.  Our thoughts and choices submit to our control.  Remembering that we alone hold the ability to change our thoughts when they no longer serve us, and change our choices, as well, shines on the open arena of life in full Technicolor.  

Life gives us symbols, signs, and sometimes blatant messages.  I lovingly refer to this as life “ordering me around,” when I know its truly an intervention of spirit.  Like traffic signals and directional signage, we follow the suggestions life offers, or suffer the consequences.  Paying attention and listening intently to our own inner matador, we see that the daring parts of an amazing life are protected by the deflection of negativity.

Leave your red cape at home, and never intentionally invite the bull to your picnic!
