THROWBACKS BY Z: Chase the joy, not the chore

Guided back to the Guidance by Z Vault for this piece from May 2021. This is a massive theme once again in the lead up to the first eclipse of 2022. Just like last year, this post came before that eclipse season. This is another round of shedding yet another layer of our inauthenticity to leave space for the true. The themes could be different from last year or the same. Observe from your heart and go as you’re guided.

Remember that All is Well.

We are no longer expending any more energy into that which doesn’t nourish our spirits.

Just because it once did, doesn’t mean it still needs to. You change constantly.

There is no need to “marry” anything. The only one you are committed to for life is you. And so the only one you’re accountable for serving and loving is you.

I don’t mean be selfish. But I mean, stop assigning obligations to yourself like a life sentence. You deserve a better life than that.

If it feels more like a ball and chain that a golden anklet, it’s time to cut and release.

No one says that’s easy. But trapping yourself by the choices of your past is harder.

I don’t care how damn giddy you were over those shoes at that Black Friday sale at Nordstrom Rack in 2016; or how many butterflies that person once gave you; or how hard you grinded for that promotion- if it gives you blisters, heartache, or hives, it’s not for you bro.

Resistance to surrendering to the natural life cycle of anything leads to more trauma in the end.

Save yourself and release the things you’re keeping yourself tied to, and allow them to find their next home, where they will be better appreciated.

Those shoes, those relationships, that job, that house-whatever-may be more like a chore to you now, but they are definitely the joy of someone else. Let them fly free to find where they belong.

So let’s clarify: a chore is an unpleasant task, something that is no longer in alignment with your soul’s calling. Not like a household chore. Those aren’t actually a chore per say, more so an investment in loving yourself with discipline.

A chore is nothing more than an obligation. The antonym of obligation is freedom. And freedom, like true love, is unconditional and eternal, like your soul. As is joy.
