I've decided; I think I REALLY LIKE me! It may sound a little crazy out loud, but its something we NEED to hear. Think about it, how many times have you actually SAID those words? So much of daily life is entangled with inadvertent desire for approval from outside forces; little do we realize that the most important opinion, our own, is the one most RARELY sought after...
My ultimate goal is to be the type of energy that I want surrounding me. I spend a large amount of time figuring out how the things I do make me FEEL, as I touched on in "Personal Bliss". I'm training my mind to seek out, and focus on my personal benefit in certain situations. This isn't done with self-centered intentions, but sanity-preservation. Way too much time is consumed by activities that just don't serve us in any way, and become unnecessary priorities. That was time that could have been better spent enriching and adding value to your own life. I want to be more effective at spotting these particular things quickly and expelling them from my life.
Before I started doing this, I had begun to feel like both my Yin and Yang were present, but not SIMULTANEOUSLY. It was like my mental equilibrium was off. For whatever reason, I just couldn't pull (literally!) myself together...
It caused me to look internally and try to figure things out. Why did I feel so out of balance? What was going on in my head that wasn't allowing me to be my complete self? I looked at my life, and I saw that my angst about success had stagnated my creativity, and all of my actions had become premeditated and automatic. I had become so caught up in making/creating things based off how the world might see and accept it, I lost sight of the fact that my work is about me, and FOR me. I am the ONLY one who needs to be pleased; point blank period.
There is no escaping YOU. Go ahead and get acquainted, you guys are going to be together for a lifetime. It's the only person that will ALWAYS know your truth and whether or not you are compromising yourself. You definitely let YOU know, and stop you dead in your tracks...At that moment, you are able to decide just what kind of person you are; one who is uncompromisingly real with themselves, OR, one who belongs to the world; allowing their path to be chosen and set by outside forces. I personally want as much say in who I am and what I become as humanly possible. One thing is for sure, its the absolute one thing in life that you CANNOT be of two hearts behind; not and survive, that is. Decide or Perish...~ The Queen
