Good morning…
Anyways, I want to give you five questions that will hopefully challenge the way you view your life and how you show up to the world, but before that, I want to dive a bit deeper into exploring our relationship to ourselves…
Last week I talked about There are many layers to ourselves in which we exist in the world.
⠀
Our mind that operates to solve problems and seek out new adventures and opportunities Our heart that contains vibrations of trust within ourselves and the outside world.Our body that responds to the world based on the what our hearts and minds are receptive to.
⠀
If we don’t take time to explore all three areas in our lives, we will exist mostly in a lost state of tension between our past and future and missing out on all the opportunities in front of us.
But most of fear the unknown because the nature of our mind is looking for safety over uncertainty, and it causes us to resits many opportunists for growth in front of us. I am coming to believe how powerful our mind is, but also because it can also be a servant to darkness if we choose…
This morning I woke up woke early searching for something, as if was looking for an answer to the pain I’ve been feeling. I haven’t had dreams like these in a long time, and naturally woke up to write a little about this pain.
Interestingly enough, words started to bleed out from the depths of my heart as I felt each letter and verse connect with all of who I am, And suddenly I realized, how afraid I’ve been to explore myself at a deeper level, so rather than continue to write, I stopped and sat down in darkness with myself and got comfortable with the uncomfortable feelings.
With minutes, the stillness turned to a safe space to explore, and there quiet hum of the room allowed me to sink deeper than the surface once again and feel gratitude for all of who I am.
How many of you do this in your life? How many of you seek distractions from your pain without even knowing it? What if your mind also needed rest just like muscles in your body ?
I want to share with you a poem I wrote today after I sat in silence, and as you hear these words, think of the areas you run from, or the things you distract yourself with.
It’s like on some level, we are afraid to explore ourselves at a deeper level, for fear of what we
1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 1 day
The heavy burdens of my past are forcing me to play
Exhausted from trying to outrun my past
I want to be free again, how long will it last
I used to get lost in the bottle and never had the courage to tell you how I felt
Sober words give me strength to shuffle the cards of life I have been dealt
Straight flush, five cards, all in a sequence
The power of love exposed my weakness
A memorable hand caused my identity to intertwine
I could never see it, because your love played with my mind
A broken heart offers a super power beyond something greater than I can see
I wonder if anyone will ever see their own freedoms in the words I speak
…..
The past can hurt, but after I wrote this, I told myself to stand as a safe space for me, and a mantra to remind me I am what I need which brings me to these questions..
