Within you, lies what can only be described as your purpose. Your purpose is to live. I’m not talking about being alive, I’m talking about living.
Clients, so often describe their ‘prison’. Job, debt, relationships, loneliness, school, pain, disability, mental health etc. but this is you finding reasons not to live.
A ‘friend’ once said to me many years ago “it’s ok for you Sally you’re married and have security. Until I divorced and she then said “it’s ok for you Sally, you have confidence”. But what happened to me being lucky because I was married? She found something else to excuse my kick ass attitude.
I had a very, very wealthy man, years ago, offer me a house, car and ‘everything I’d ever need’. For what? ‘For nothing’ he said. No thanks I said.
I’ve stood Paul Gascoigne up on a date when I lived in Italy. I was the victim of a kidnapping. I have a bravery award. I haven’t been the Mum I could have been to my gorgeous Daughter. I work too hard. I bully bully’s. I was suspended at school for fighting a girl that was bullying everyone and I got my arse kicked. I never got a single GCSE.
This, all of this and much, much more makes up who I am. Some of it is to be proud of. Some of it to be ashamed of. That ‘friend’ that found every reason in the book to make my suffering not valid because she didn’t have the capacity to see past her own challenges denied me my right to feel life was hard.
YOU, are a human being. YOU have a past that may pull you down. YOU may have an uncertain future. But, YOU have to start understanding that until you take pride in what you HAVE achieved, you will never find peace.
My heart is happy because those circumstances that could have finished me, created even more steps for me to climb to reach my podium. I win you see. I didn’t do harm to anyone out of spite. I haven’t used or abused people to feel powerful. Who I am is pure. My heart is free you see.
You brain will lie to you time after time. People will lie to you time after time. The secret to my happiness and the joy I access everyday is remaining true to who I am and what I deserve. I will be the ‘human’ and make mistakes, but SO WHAT!
Why are you living in the shadows of a truly remarkable life? Because of pain? Fear? Anger? Resentment? Interesting, everything that lives inside the brain. You see, the brain will lie to you. But the question is, how long are you going to keep listening my friends?
