Many of us remember being happy as a small child. We are naturally more present in the moment and less distracted by concerns about the future and the world around us.
But then we start to take on beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.
Beliefs are thoughts we absorb as part of our basic programming and then believe are true without question. For example we may think we are powerless, unworthy, insignificant, invisible, incapable, these are just a few examples.
Our core beliefs start to look like a truths and are reinforced by how we then interpret what we see in the world. We look at our lives and apply meaning to our knock backs, traumas, unhealthy relationships they also lead us to believe that we have something wrong with us. We are broken, damaged, injured, irrepairable, unfixable and incomplete. We are victims of our circumstances, genetics, parenting, schooling and other external factors we are unable to influence or control. This happens because it is the cultural belief we can be broken we are told that our past can break us but what if this isn't true?
We are directed away from our imaginative dreams because they are deemed frivolous, unnecessary, childish, indulgent. They won't help us get a job we need to be realistic our schools, parents and cultural references discourage us from indulging these thoughts. But what if our day dreams are not flights of fancy but our intuition sharing plans and ideas with us.
Wrapped up in this personal thinking, we live our lives out of the beliefs of our brokenness. We seek self-development, therapists, councillors, healers, psychologists, psychiatrists to help us fix and mend the brokenness. We search around in our pasts, our childhoods, our experiences for reasons for the brokenness. We attempt to understand the brokenness. We seek ways to mend it. We find temporary relief, but fundamentally continue to live out of the brokenness.
Living life from the brokenness keeps us small, it traps us, it has us stuck in the same unhelpful patterns and keeps us from achieving our true hopes and desires.
But what if we were never broken?
What if the brokenness is just an illusion of our minds?
What if it is just a belief that we are broken?
What if we just think we are broken?
What if we were never broken but whole?
Could it be that we are whole and always have been?
What could life look life from the whole?
What if new, fresh thought was available to each of us in every moment?
New thought untarnished or tainted by our beliefs/personal thinking?
Living from this space could we not be powerful, fearless, creative, expansive…
There is great news you are not broken because........
All experience is created from the inside out.
Everyone has insecure thinking.
We are thinkers, constantly using the power of thought to create our moment to moment reality.
Understand our thinking for what it is and see how to access our wisdom and our creativity.
When we see thinking for what it is we can change.
We can find solutions.
We can be empowered.
We can have more peace of mind.
