Coyote - Wise Fool

Coyote - Wise Fool

"Accept your follies and find the teaching in them"

These animal cards are divine. I am loving working with them.

"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." William Shakespeare

This is the message the angels are sending us today. They are reminding us that by recognising our 'flaws' we do not become less than what we thought we were, we in fact become more. The more awareness we have around the areas of our lives where we might need to work or grow, the more capacity we have for that growth.

The more that we can understand and embrace all the different aspects of ourselves - even the dark, murky bits - the more full and complete we will be. Just as the earth needs night and day so that the world may sleep then wake refreshed for a new day, so too does our psyche. We need darkness within us to be able to perceive the light.

If you find yourself struggling with, or judging an aspect of yourself it is time to take a step back. Breathe deeply and try to identify the emotion that is attached to it. Is it hurt? Anger? Rejection? Once you can see what the emotion is ask it to step aside so that you may see this aspect of yourself for the true gift that it is. Encourage yourself to find a time or a situation where this aspect of yourself has been useful. Maybe your shyness has allowed others the space to work on their confidence and come to you? Or maybe fumbly, haphazard way of trying to get to know people puts them at ease because they have permission not to be perfect as well?

Today try to love those harder to accept aspects of you, in the knowledge that they make you a wiser, more complete being.

You are perfect just as you are.

You were designed this way by the universe very specifically.

Your gift to the world is to be exactly who you are.
