 “I Quit Struggling, and Acted.”
This sentence stuck out to me… and made me think of you. Terry Mancour wrote it. (And it’s located in Book 5 of the Spellmonger Series… it’s called High Mage). And I’m re-listening to it with great delight and joy while walking my dog in the cool summer mornings here in West Seattle. “I quit struggling, and acted.” The protagonist, Minalan, shares this, observes this, while he is drowning in a suit of armor. That’s about all I’m going to tell you about the story, other than this scene happens early on in the series and he’s the main dude… so there’s more of Minalan to come. Thinking of you Many of my clients express early on, or even in consults, that they feel like they are experiencing a sense of drowning in their grief and struggles. No need to judge or analyze or feel bad about this… it already feels bad enough. Having this sense of drowning, or stuckness, or continual struggle is a 100% natural response to loss of any kind… whether a death has occured or not. And there comes a time when you realize how much you have been struggling. And how that struggle to avoid, deny, and outrun has not actually been grieving. The struggle, perhaps, has been more resistance to grieving and feeling… trying to outrun the feelings. Deny them. Avoid them. Struggle with the idea of even having them. Struggle also includes fearing the feelings, fearing loss and grief feelings. It makes complete sense. And, it’s exhausting. There’s still value in the struggle. Hey. I’m not here to badmouth the struggle… at all. It’s part coping mechanism and part cocoon. This kind of struggle helps you progress & arrive into a new place in your path. When you realize how the struggle has not been the grieving process, it means you’re ready for new options toward heart healing. You’ve progressed into new awareness and are ready for more. It’s the struggle that got you here… and ready… for more. “I quit struggling, and acted.” When you are ready to quit struggling and act, I hope that you’ll count yourself IN and work with me.
