The Reminder | Integrity

Last week I was faced with a few “people challenges” last week… all in one day. The icing on the cake was receiving registered letters from our insurance company that my husband and I had both been removed from financial interest of our home insurance policy.

The day began with what should have been a quick software update and resulted in hours downtime, the downfall to everything being electronic and computer based. I did however have time to pick up the garbage bags I had forgotten the week before, small win for me lol!

Smack dab in the middle, while out walking my dog on a walk, I realized that a person who owes us money, who hired us to fix his jobs mistake and promised to pay, was doing a large job locally. I will admit I was triggered in a sudden and big way, so much that I was shaking by the time I got back to the office.

As Ive become more of me, Ive realized that Integrity is something that my energy must have in all areas of my life. My gut has gotten good at giving me a heads up many times, that I am very grateful for. I will admit, I ignored the warning before doing business with this person.

Its truthfully, frustrating, stressful, energy sucking basically to be lied to, flat out and then have the nerve to show up locally. Whats even more frustrating is the provincial and federal governments allow people to hide behind corporations, giving them permission to do this to people.

After you’ve been scorned, whether personally or in business, these triggers can naturally happen. Something I am working on, as there are many times, the apology or payment may never come.

That’s on them. Let Them.

Then I read this…

I cannot fix the world, I can however love me with all that I can and be the best person I can be. By living an honest, truthful, life with integrity and ethics and values for living my best and most authentic life!

When is that most challenging, when working with people on a daily basis. There are some really challenging, liars out there and thankfully, there are waaaaay more really good, honest people out there – those who I align with and am so grateful for.

So let them.

Let their choices be of the devil, that is what lying is, a dark dense and heavy energy. That can become trapped in your body and even begin to cause physical pain. Truth of it is, as much as I want this person to come good to their word, I cannot make them, so me holding onto this anger and frustration, is merely only hurting me. Karma is very powerful, and energy doesn’t lie so it is much healthier to detach and pray what is right will be done and all can move on.

The reminder, the life lesson… only good people can make good choices, if people choose to make bad choices, they can right them, but only if they want to and only if they do the work. I will be the first one to support someone in making the shift, you can heal from lies and betrayal with only the best intentions.

Ironically, truthfully, the planets this week were also shifting – I wont pretend to know all about it, however I do know my energy is sensitive to the planetary shifts and astrology, I actually find that all very cool. I even went for a Reiki treatment to help shift the energy and that was significant!

The real reminder, just be a decent person and live an honest life.
