finding ok

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The little boy who was told he was stupid spends his adult life running from this notion as he over-achieves in school and when engaging in conversation insists that he's never wrong.

The Boogieman that we run from is shouting to us about our own inadequacies and driving us to prove to the world and to ourselves that we're OK (or not OK). And so rather than my life being a journey to Experience it becomes a race to ACHIEVE. And in that process the experience of life passes us by.

This silent phenomenon shows up like a big dawg in every crevice of life, especially in our relationships. We carry our hidden fear of "not good enough" into the path of another human being and everything coasts along just fine until...until...until something is said or done that reminds us of the thing we're running from, the thing we fear most in life, OUR NOT-OK-NESS. And then the fit hits the shan and the relationship spins into its downward spiral!

Go do a li'l reading on your Boogieman and consider what it is that you're running from. I want you to gain power and presence in life and in love and your being OK with yourself is critical to having it all.

For now begin recognizing how often your efforts are little more than your just trying to feel OK about yourself, or trying to avoid things that would make you feel not OK. I suggest to you that your entire life is designed around your feeling "good enough" while steering clear of people and things who remind you that you're not good enough.

Moving thru this and finding your own sense of OK-ness will allow you to experience life more fully rather than holding back and only experiencing those parts that you choose to not push away or run away from.
