Time To Get Over Ourselves?

There’s a rather unkind expression that gets used about people who take themselves too seriously, namely, ‘Get over yourself’. It may also be appropriate to say it to ourselves in a kindly manner when we need to take more responsibility for our circumstances, to stop being a victim and put aside the melodrama of life.

When we receive divine love into our souls, then we start to heal inside and we develop new gifts that can help us cope and thrive in our life on earth. This is a wonderful journey that is full of joy and deep meaning. But if we hold on to outdated views of who we are then we may fail to recognise any new strengths and abilities we acquire. So we should proactively seek to grow into the new version of us that is unfolding every day with every prayer. As an example, we should seek our own guidance from God and God’s angels instead of automatically relying on others on earth who we look up to. This recognises that everyone here is fallible and that the highest guidance needs to reflect our personal circumstances.

Spiritual maturity comes so slowly that we can doubt whether we’ve really changed. Consequently, we indulge our old bad habits because we allow them to feel more real than who we’ve become deep down. There is an alternative to being hoodwinked by our own minds. Divine love, blessings from God and the help of divine beings who we attract to us, along with our own commitment and vigilance, allow us to truly get over ourselves and progress steadily along the path towards the celestial kingdom.
