For so much of my life, I’ve had deep heartfelt emotions for others. Always seeing the potential in others, in life and in myself, yet also feeling a void at the same time. My mind was often times consumed with thoughts of what I “should” do, what I really wanted (which seemed impossible) and creating a fantasy reality that made me think that I was happy, though in truth I was deeply unfulfilled.
I can remember working my way up the corporate ladder and exhausting myself by trying to be the “perfect” employee as well as the “perfect” friend/partner/sister/daughter. It was rare to look at my life and the status of my own happiness. When I chose to seek truth, my life began to change. The feeling of being different actually increased. I was no longer selling my soul. The feeling of love in my heart did too. The feeling of self-doubt revealed itself. I realized that although I thought I knew what was best for everyone else, I did not know what was best for myself.
It took years of study, practice and tools to understand my heart, needs and desires. I learned that in understanding who I am, I can actually serve the world in a greater way. I can still love and support others from a place of fullness and strength, not out of a need to feel secure. I can dedicate time to growing my business and fuel my hearts desires. What it came down to is that we are all the same- we all have unique wants, desires and needs. Feeling different is simply an illusion- it states that I am separate from another when in truth, we are all connected and we all want to be loved.
Just like the flowers that arise from the dirt, our souls are all connected. Each of us powerful beyond belief. It is our beliefs that must change in order for our lives to follow. Connecting to our true essence- the eternal part of our beings- the love within our hearts is what changes our lives and the entire world around us. I invite you to reflect: what belies are running your life right now and holding you back from the love that is all around you?
