Day #13 Reflection
June 22, 2025 9:40pm
Dear Reader,
Today, was such a fun day. My partner and I walked around Waikiki this morning, got some coffee, did some grocery shopping, got a workout in, had a great tasting breakfast. It was awesome. And while we took full advantage of our day, I couldn’t help but tune into the present moment and find appreciation for the momentum that has started. It’s been wonderful to feel the energies of possibility and excitement. I know this is the beginning of even more ease and fun, and spontaneity. It was great.
Even as I write this, I find a little guilt for the fact that I have been blogging a lot more about happiness. All the emotion’s that are on the higher end of the spectrum, are all the things that I have been writing about, and parts of me think, “My reader’s are going to think this is boring.” I think, “There isn’t enough darkness here.” Isn’t it interesting, how drawn we are to all of that? In a sense, it’s part of the hero’s journey and we look for those type of stories in our day to day life. We want to know and see people who have experienced darkness and saved themselves. In a sense, this whole blog series highlight’s that. What’s even more interesting, is that I took my family to a Broadway musical called, “Six.” It’s a story about the six wives of Henry VIII. It’s a really fun musical, too. It’s high energy and upbeat. The singer’s were amazing and the song’s were so well written and captivating. In the end, the wives come together and realize that their stories are rooted in darkness. People are drawn to the darkness of their lives and, how it is all connected to the same man. They acknowledge, it’s what makes for good stories. However, they end the musical with stories of how they succeeded after their experience with Henry VIII. They each gave their story a happy ending, even though it may not have really happened that way. That makes me think, though, “Is there room for continued happy ending’s?” Can a person move out of the consuming stories of darkness, and continue to choose the light? Perhaps, it is all perspective. Perhaps, it truly just depends on whether or not a person allows the darkness to be consuming, instead of a lesson that will bring clarity. Maybe, tale’s of darkness and light are embedded in our DNA and there is no other way to live.
And yet, intuitively, I feel like it doesn’t need to be that way. I feel like, we can continue to focus on building positive momentum and, become unconditional in that type of living. Parts of me feel like, we don’t have to experience darkness in order to build the type of life that we want. Many say, that sometimes, we need to experience darkness in order to appreciate the light. But, what would life look like, if all we did was appreciate the light, and dance within it? Maybe, that’s what this whole intuitive living series is going to bring me into. New possibilities of enhancing the light in life. What would my life look like, if all I did was focus on the light? I feel it would be amazing.
What I know I need to learn to release is the feeling of guilt for having these type of expectation’s for my life. There is no reason for it. It’s just been very interesting to observe within myself. And I know, that the only way to release that guilt, is to continue to take action on my happiness. To trust my excitement, like I stated in this morning’s post. Parts of e feel like, the real experiment here, is to see just how far I can enhancing positivity. And to see, how that manifests in my life. I have to say, so far, so good. I have to say, it get’s easier each moment I choose it.
As you read this, I pray you find the inspiration to do the same. To choose happiness for yourself on a level, that is both autonomous and free. Self-discovery seem’s to be the continued journey so far. It seem’s to be the core of all of this. I am not just living an intuitive life, I am learning who I really am. And, what a blessing that is.
Love Always,
Ariel
