The fear of being wrong or bad
This one is a big one for me.
Not so long ago, my biggest fear was to be made wrong or bad.
Striving to be “good person” or a “good girl” is exactly what made me easily manipulatable.
No light can truly shine through you without the full integration of your shadow.
Shadow work is my absolute favourite part of inner work.
Bringing to the light, loving and accepting all parts of myself and others.
I used to apply a distorted version of this teaching in my life where I would excuse and tolerate poor behaviour or even abusive behaviour in the name of always seeing things positively and seeing the good in people.
I got a sense of superiority from it, in being the “reasonable one”
You can have infinite love and acceptance for someone and still be a no to their behaviour.
You can have infinite love and acceptance of all parts of you and still desire to expand and practice being the highest version of yourself.
Really, it’s all about your intention.
With love, empathy, understanding and practice, you will stumble and fall and get back up again.
