This call is about clearing up the past to see the future more clearly. Today’s caller, Summer, wants to gain clarity about her future but we focus on things in her past that are blocking her view and keeping her stuck.

When we engage in unhealthy patterns it’s like being in quicksand. It’s a slow sinking process that makes us feel stuck. It’s not like falling into a big hole where it is obvious that we need to get out quick. It’s the patterns we can stay with for a while. But, if you stay sinking for too long, part of you will go under and you will feel trapped permanently.

How you get clear on your vision and how you keep moving forward is to stop doing things in the present that are direct contradictions to what you want. It is nearly impossible to have a vision for our future when the past gets in the way. You don’t have to inspect every aspect of your past but if you are still in patterns that originated in old wounding and limiting beliefs, your vision is probably more reactive than authentic.

It keeps you wanting things in your future to compensate for your past wounds. You will want money to fill a self-worth void, you will want fame to fill a lack of validation, or you will crave relationships and attention to fill an old hurt from feeling like you didn’t belong.
