What if we recognised who we already are…
We so often have our priorities the wrong way around.
We think we need to have something to be someone. We must do things to get the stuff we need to have so we can be the person we want to be. That feels exhausting and confusing to even read.
What if we sat still for a moment and took stock.
Every quality we admire in others is a quality we already have; it is perhaps just buried under a hefty portion of self-doubt.
This next sentence is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but sometimes we need to take a bit of medicine… Those annoying qualities in others … take a breath… annoy us because they are reminding us of aspects about ourselves we don’t like.
The person we want to be, we already are.
Easy.
Kind of...
We decide which aspects of ourselves we want to cultivate. NO, not a case of toxic positivity. We do need to acknowledge the totality of who we are. However, like a garden we can choose the seeds we want to nurture and cultivate and what we might like to w**d out. Both take some effort. That is the Doing.
Doing in a way that brings us into alignment with who we truly are is an act of self-love. Although it can take some effort, will come to feel effortless, because it brings joy.
What we have becomes a reflection of who we are. Yes, we might still want a fabulous car, or a massive home. But we are choosing from a place of joy of feeling full. We are not desperately trying to fill a void from a place of lack and low self-esteem.
How many times have you miserably chased having something, so you could be whatever it was you thought would fulfil you; only to find you are still not enough. When you are centred in your beingness, YOU are invisible, unstoppable and JOYFUL.
