Using the Laws of Attraction
Waiting for the Second Ruby Shoe to Drop
Waiting for the Second Ruby Shoe to Drop
One of the hardest things for me to learn to let go of is that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. You know that feeling you get when things are going well so life should be right on schedule to blow it all apart? Your rational mind knows that life doesn't work that way, but emotionally you are almost holding your breath in expectation of it?
Now before you launch into the whole Law of Attraction thing, yes I get that, but I want to add some other perspectives on this idea that I have discovered along my own yellow brick road wearing one ruby shoe journey!
• The funniest thing about this idea for me is that even though I know I’m holding both shoes, I still can't seem to shake that feeling like maybe there is even a third shoe somewhere!
• Then there is that feeling of "God" or some greater force that seems to take pleasure in holding onto the second shoe just long enough to give me a false sense of hope or a feeling of complacency and then BAM! second shoe delivered right in the middle of everything!
• Or, and one of my personal favorites, is that feeling that here I am, holding all the shoes I own and I still can't seem to find a pair that match, much less able to wear out in the world for any length of time so I'm searching for that new and improved pair that will make it clear that I am able to wear them both at the same time to guarantee no unexpected aerial attacks from dive bombing shoe Gods.
While these are just a few versions of the same theme, the each have a subtle and slightly different vibrational feel to them for me. But, what they all have in common is a sense of something bigger or beyond me that can "get me" when I least expect it or am at my most vulnerable.
What has been the most devastating result of my fear of a shoe attack is that there have been many areas of my life where I have not allowed myself to want or receive so that I can try and avoid the pain of a ruby shoe falling from the sky. What if I can't handle the pain or the problems that it causes? It can seem easier to just give up and avoid than risk another attack.
Sometimes what appears like a shoe bombing is really just a lesson we need to learn and not a failure to apply the Law of Attraction. The lessons our souls seek are greater than the desires our bodies ask for. Sometimes the shoe falls because we get distracted or worse, we forget who gave us the power to hold both shoes and our egos need a little reminder of who is really in charge.
Regardless of shoe on or shoe falling from the sky, I can always find my way home when I choose to go barefoot and remember that the shoes are not who I am, they are just an accessory in the game of this life.

oh I totally get this
I know that I am juggling many shoes... which shoes are the best shoes to wear?
That is always my question!
Barefoot and Authentic!
Thanks so much for the reminder!
