Becoming YOU...
We all are the same. We are the collection of our experiences. I recently embraced my dream of starting my own business, Possibility Junction, that was created because of my experiences. I have a passion for helping people work through their junk, become transparent, and embrace their authentic self.
In my experiences, there was a lot of pain and periodically, my most prominent, enduring irrational thought returns and brings tears to my eyes and sadness to my heart - "You are not worthy." This came from years of abuse and neglect. I don't say this for sympathy - I say it to get your attention. No matter what your past or present, there is a way to overcome any negative event and find a new HaPpY. I am ever so thankful for the challenges in my life because they brought me to the reality that became my dream. I am stronger, more passionate, less judgmental, very insightful and highly skilled in mastering the "flip". I, just like you, have many weaknesses and flaws but I am unique and completely ME.
The message that I wish to convey today is...if you find yourself unhappy, overly critical, disconnected or judgmental - take an inventory and look at yourself. Everything you are is because of YOU. If you are unhappy - you have some "stuffed" things you need to work through - but it is entirely possible if you can become transparent. Transparency is allowing all of you to show without fear. When you are critical of another - it's you saying, "You could do better." When you are disconnected - you don't value your contribution to others. When you are judgmental - you fear your negative qualities are showing through (and they are). Your behavior is entirely about you. So, the icky people in the world - feel icky. And, my best advice is...don't become angry - that hurts you. Say to yourself "It must really suck to be them" and compassion will emerge.
Nonetheless, every challenge helps you to grow IF you reflect on it. Reflect inward and ask yourself "what is this opportunity trying to teach me?" I promise you - every challenge will reappear throughout your life until you GET the lesson. So, the sooner you start taking inventory, becoming transparent, and working through your issues - the sooner HaPpY comes. Becoming your best YOU is what matters in the end. So, get busy working on you and unhappiness, disconnection and judgments will become a thing of the past.
BECOME YOU!
