There is a space within you where you are already perfect, whole, and complete. It is a space of pure consciousness.
Total awareness. When you become aware that there is more to you than meets the eye, when you become aware that you are not the labels you have given yourself, When you can sit in the quiet space of knowing that right now, and right now and right now, and also right now, you’re ok… you will find yourself growing closer and closer to the Divine.
Every problem we have in life is the result of losing our bearings and getting caught up in the content of our own thinking; the solution to every one of those problems is to find our way back home, to ourselves. To ourselves without labels, without a made up identity.
Who then are we? If I take away my identity as mother, daughter, sister, social worker, sometimes generous, sometimes kind, sometimes selfish, sometimes angry… if I take those titles away… what is left? These are the titles I proudly use to describe me…. who then am I if I can’t use these titles?
The answer is pure potential. I am a soul. And souls have endless possibilities, endless potential and endless love.
I can be anything. I can do anything. I don’t have to take my thinking, my titles, my rules too seriously. Right now in this moment I am pure potential
I am wisdom
There Is More To You Than Meets The Eye!
Here are some fun facts:
YOU ARE NOT YOUR HABITS
Our bad habits really weigh us down sometimes. But if we stop obsessing over them, stop judging ourselves, stop taking our habit-thoughts so seriously, if we start being more gentle & forgiving with ourselves … we may make some space in our minds to make wiser, healthier, more in tune decisions with who we are.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY
Now maybe what you feel about yourself depends on what your body looks like or doesn’t. Maybe your body looks like society says it ‘should’ or maybe it doesn’t.
Whatever you think about your body, you are still NOT your body
YOU ARE NOT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
– C.G. Jung
And choosing to become or choosing to relive the past every day and wearing it as a badge, is a choice we get to make anew every single moment of our lives…
We are NOT defined by experiences… but our thinking about our experiences can give us a whole new experience!
YOU ARE NOT THE THOUGHTS YOU HAVE
We have millions of thoughts a day… but that is all they are… just thoughts. They are not necessarily true or real… they are simply thoughts.
Thought is a gift
We are all experiencing a moment-to-moment, subjective, reality that is created from thought. 100% of the time.
We mistakenly think that our experiences cause us to think and feel a certain way.
But actually, nothing has the power to make us think or feel anything.
Our thoughts in the moment, determine how we experience a situation.
Some of my kids were in a car accident a couple of months ago. My one son had just done Hugo’s Heroes, so he was directing people, making sure everyone was ok, feeling strong and empowered. My other son was devastated because he was going to miss a holiday that he was on his way to, and another son felt terribly guilty (even though it was the other drivers fault)
3 boys, in the same situation, yet all 3 experienced the accident in a totally different way. How is that possible? Didn’t they all have the same experience? They didn’t, Because we only and always experience a situation through our thinking.
We are living in our thinking all the time. When we think that the outside world is responsible for how we feel, we become victims to circumstance. But when I realize that I’m living in the experience of my own thinking, I’m empowered, calm & resilient. I can deal with anything because I know that I’m truly just one thought away from another experience.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR MISTAKES
If you are a human being then, by definition, you make mistakes, and you will continue to make mistakes. It’s part of the game of being human. That is all. It is most certainly not something to use to define who you are.Lets rather learn from them than overwhelm ourselves with guilt and regret.
The truth is, we aren’t anything defined above… There is one constant never changing always reliable part of us… some people call it our soul, or our essence, or our consciousness or intelligence. It is the energy that connects us to nature, life and truth.
If we believe we live in an infinite world that means there must be infinite possibilities of who we are.
We are wisdom
