Stop pushing things away

Dec 15th, 2011No Comments

Having the things you want in life, as well as, being close to people is a lot simpler then you might think. Possibilities of the things you want present themselves to you all the time. Opportunities to be close and connect with people come to you every day. All you really have to do is not push them away.

Having the things you truly want is natural. Being close to the people you care about is also natural. Bart Anderson referred to these states as the natural state of being. It is unnatural to not allow yourself to have the things you want. It is unnatural to not be close and to have love. Most of us believe 180° from this.

The way we disallow the life and love we seek is by pushing things away that are presenting themselves to us.  It is often a self-worth issue. We only allow as much love and beauty as we believe we deserve. Anything beyond that we push away.

Unless… we recognize that we are about to push something or someone away and stop ourselves. Then the possibility that presents itself to us can naturally unfold. So possibilities naturally come to us and unfold. People naturally love us.

All we have to do is let them.

About author:

Michael Hoffman’s passion is guiding people to connect with their natural gifts. He believes that we all have innate gifts that hugely benefit others and the world when we offer them. The purest example of these gifts is the Native American concept of medicine or the gift you offer your people. Michael defines your medicine or gift as the natural effect you have on other people when your heart is open. Unfortunately, the demands of our current culture to comply and fit in often distract people away from their inherent gifts and the natural expression of their being. Michael believes many of us have forgotten our dreams and what we are about. This sadly results in a loss of purpose, passion, and vitality. As an innate gift specialist, Michael offers retreats, classes, and individual sessions to allow people to reclaim their natural gifts. These venues allow people to identify, awaken, and offer their gifts. This experiential work incorporates Zen thought, Native American ceremony, rites-of-passage, and releasing limiting belief systems. Michael also maintains his meta blog to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for unfolding your natural gifts. He is currently compiling this knowledge and research into a college class and book. Michael earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1987 and Master of Social Work in 1996. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to his formal education, Michael studied and apprenticed with a Zen Master and spiritual teacher for 22 years to learn how to guide people to understand themselves. He has worked with people professionally since 1986 as a psychotherapist and teacher. Michael currently resides in Oceanside, California.
