Ultimate
bliss is found in that place where I CHOOSE TO BE
ME. And the more authentic I am, the more blissful
my experience in life becomes. And, isn't that what
we all want? BLISS!
The
biggest lie we shout is, "I can't be myself
with him or her"! It's your very choice
of not being yourself that's keeping you in prison
while keeping your partner stuck.
Living
FEARLESSLY & FULL-OUT! No holding back. That's
where our answers await you & me. We're each
a 100-watt bulb meant to run on 100 watts! Living
less than full-out keeps our lives in question.
Now,
there's a problem with being you. And that is, "if
I don't know who I am, how can I be me"!
That's
a great place to start.
WHO
ARE YOU?
This,
my friend, will be an involved but worthy process,
the process of discovering (remembering)
who you are. The good news is, it'll be the most
exciting ride of your life! So let me take the honored
role of helping you buckle up and take off! Yeehaw!
So
let's make some introductions here.
First,
let me introduce you to the you you're NOT. I'd
like for you to think of ways you've projected yourself
as someone else and how yucky that felt.
Think about the moments you felt like a fake. That's
the YOU YOU'RE NOT.
Many
of us have been on the run, running from the part
of ourselves that we fear isn't
good enough. And so who I've been trying to
be has been largely dictated by the thing from
which I've been running. Do yourself a HUGE favor
and explore the thing
that you've designed your life around avoiding.
That'll help you move forward at light speed
rather than in the repetitive hell of avoiding
& dodging the same issues.
Now
let's introduce you to...YOURSELF! Tada!!
We
might have to go back in time first. Let's take
a trip back. Way back. Let's go back and remember.
Remember the you before all the stress
and pressures. The you before the burdens and responsibilities.
The you before you felt pressured to be someone
else. The you that was free. The you that got lost
somewhere in that bad relationship or in your fear
of failing.
Go
back. Remember. Remember what you loved. Remember
what was important to you. Remember what you valued
the most in life. Was it friendship? Was it quiet?
Intimacy? Solitude? Laughter? Giving? Running your
fingers thru the dirt of your garden? Was it God?
Talking to another in truth? Honesty? Trust? Outdoors?
"But
I can't make money doing those things. And besides,
there's no time for that!"
Stop
that! That's what's gotten you in this
pickle to begin with. Give your mind chatters time
off for now and let's visit what you love. And also
what you value.
What
do you VALUE?
Have
you ever seen a platypus? It looks like a very uncomfortable
creature! I sometimes feel like a platypus when
my life is misaligned with what I value and what
I love. Know what I mean? Put another way,
I'm
discombobulated when I
live outta whack with who
I am.
Did
you get that? Go back and read it again slowly.
you can save a bunch of money on pills and future
surgeries if you can take to heart what I just gave
you.
Live
longer for your grand kids by considering how aligned
your lifestyle is with what you most love &
value. Some of you don't want to consider this because
that might mean making changes or rocking boats.
A
life that flows is a life of less resistance. Of
less "fighting
what is". Circumstances may look "bad"
in a life that flows, but your response to them
becomes non-resisting. Letting
go of agendas and attachments and just BEING
ME is that state where my innards are relaxed and
I'm able to BE IN THIS PRESENT
MOMENT.
Go
get a pin and paper and make yourself write down
a page full of "WHAT I LOVE". Then another
page of "WHAT I VALUE". Love yourself
enough to go do this. It's that important. What
you'll find is a hard assignment. And what you'll
find on the other side of it are answers. Begin
the very fruitful process of getting back to you.
Getting back to being ALL you.
