When we’re conscious, we allow the grace of pain to redirect us.
We notice the tug of discomfort when we’re out of alignment.
It becomes easier to read what’s happening around you, how you feel, and to trust your way forward.
We get to catch ourselves being externally focused, and we notice when we’re going unconscious.
It's the World we live in that pushes the chase for things outside of us for the keys to the kingdom.
And the different ways we use checks and balances of what success is and how we deem ourselves worthy of it.
When you finally unhook from that toxic matrix and it’s lame measuring system, and say instead:
There is no rescue party coming to save me.
There's no relationship that's going to solve this.
There's no magic bank account that will fix this feeling of lack.
There's no ideal weight on a scale that will deliver me self love.
And you release all these illusory things you’ve held out for, and instead realize you’re your own greatest asset. The one you’ve been looking for in everything and everyone else, you become free.
It’s just you. In the world. Creating contexts to love yourself more.
Then you can enjoy this matrix in a whole other way.
It’s more lighthearted.
You cling less to preferred outcomes and therefore you suffer less.
You get to play in it, but it doesn’t play you.
That is real empowerment worth seeking.
