Love Your Fate is a Stoic saying and practice.

But how does one love one’s fate especially when there is

loss, death, addiction, mental illness or any number of other aberrations to contend with?

Did you know 12 step work is partly based on Stoicism?

I’ve certainly resisted and rejected my fate alot!

I’m a starseed from from heavenly realms and i incarnated into a very difficult family lineage

And have had an incredible amount of ancestral karma to transform.

We all do really since the collective traumas of all our ancestors are stored in our DNA

Until they can be worked through. They are always looking for a doorway to healing

through us, the living and the present moment of power, retraumatization and change.

So how do you love your fate when it can be so terrible?

I think that loving your fate is a lot like forgiveness.

You just decide to forgive even if you can’t do it just yet

And you just slowly live into that decision over time

Like a plant growing toward the light.

And if your patient with yourself when you can’t do it

One day someday it is done and you find yourself free, Finally!

Accepting and loving your fate has some kind of magic in it like forgiveness.

It’s a spiritual practice.

You can fake it till you make it.

You can rage against it and then surrender to it.

You can refuse to receive it and it will wait patiently by the door

As you come and go but eventually you will have to look at it

And when you do you’ll see it’s not quite as ugly as you once thought

It’s just kind of plain and ordinary like everyone’s heartbreak

Although yours may be more dramatic.

Why do I have to be a writer, a romantic, a four on the enneagram for God’s sake?

And then i’m back to the practice of loving my fate

Because that is the only way to overcome it and to receive its gifts.

And it’s really how to love yourself and life and God and all of creation with all the seeming flaws

How to love the process, the evolution, the journey.

Are we there yet?

Patience. Patience my dear. We have forever and an eternity although we want it all now.

One of my teachers said “Fate is who you are, Destiny is who you are meant to be”

And I say you have to accept your Fate to become your Destiny.

Blessed Be Dear Ones.
