Opossum ~ Diversion (contrary)





Are you a Drama Queen, or do you just enjoy watching the daily melt down? Does your life resemble Reality TV? If so, you are being put on notice that this behavior is incredibly unhealthy for everyone involved. You may feel like the villan, embracing the strategy of "get them before they get me" by snapping at others, causing arguements and allowing your anger to lead the way. You you may be the victim, always bemoaning how you've been hurt, used or taken advantage of. Or, you may be the faithful audience, always lending your ear and your opinion when others come to you with their problem. Whatever your role, now is the time to stop. Living in this constant chaos has trapped you in a prison of your own design as it keeps you constantly distracted and unable to really live your life.

Opossom tells me that now is the time to let go of your soap opera diversions and to seize your personal power. When you focus on living your own life and release the drama of others, you are finally able to embrace your true Life Purpose and take healthy steps toward making your dreams a reality.

In the reversed position Opossum may be warning you against getting caught in the high drama of your life's present situation. "Close your eyes and dramatize," may keep you from seeing the truth of a situation. You may buy into melodrama in yourself or others. You might as well play dead if you are justifying what you are doing with a tragic victim routine. If this concept does not apply to your situation, take a look at the possibility that you have recently been giving excuses of why you don't want to do something instead of telling the truth. In fearing to hurt someone's feelings you may have trapped yourself in a justification pattern: "I'm too sick, I'm too poor, I'm watching my weight, I'm too short, tall, sad, busy, tired, etc."

In having to defend yourself with excuses you may have lost the point. You don't have to defend your right to be! The exercise is in learning how to politely say that something would not be appropriate for you at this time. That's all! You owe no one an excuse. Learn to imitate Opossum and play dead in the sense that the best strategy is no defense. In assuming the viewpoint of no defense you have chosen the right to be who and what you are with no games involved.

The proper use of diversion is to know when you do not need to use diversion at all. You owe no one an excuse for how you feel or what you choose to experience.
