I am what I am
We are ever evolving consciousness. What is true for us now or today may not hold the same truth for us a few steps down the road.
Often we find ourselves in a need to describe ourselves, or even worse, prove ourselves - even to us-.
Although is key that we know where we stand, what values we hold and what is actually important for us and our wellbeing (i.e., inner peace and harmony), the need to defend it or to prove that to someone reveals exactly the opposite. A deep sense of lack and insecurity within ourselves. It reveals a disconnection from our inner sense of authority and conviction for who we actually are at soul level.
What if instead we were just content with where we are and what we stand for without any need for proof or defence? How would we feel knowing ourselves without feeling any impulse or obligation to explain that to others or (silently) ask for their approval and permission?
Often those “others” are us. Our internal parts that keep criticizing us and doubting our own worth. And these are the parts that are harder to harmonize and eventually integrate within ourselves. Their true intention is to protect us, yet they achieve exactly the opposite. They end up sabotaging us and keeping us acting out the wound of “not feeling being enough”. A universal human wound that plays out for centuries and has meticulously corroded ourselves and by extension our societies.

This is not something to consider lightly. Instead, we need to give this the attention it deserves.
The very chaos you observe currently in the world around us is exactly that; Wounded individuals and societies who act out their wounds in dysfunctional and often disastrous ways.
The good news is that we are not victims of the circumstances around us. We are part of them! And as such we hold both power and responsibility over this and it’s up to us to flip the script and rebuild what it may be considered long lost.
And no, the necessary action is not to protest against, blame and shame what is. On the contrary, the solution lies in accepting that what is and assuming responsibility and ownership in becoming the change we wish to see within and outside us.
And if you read my blog long enough, you already know where to start. Focus your attention and energy within. That’s where you actually have control. Accept where you are and who you are now and embrace any necessary shift with curiosity, love and compassion. Choose to come home to yourself. This is what you actually need and what our world needs to heal and thrive. The rest will naturally follow.
