Though your eyes have been opened to more significant truth, it is hard to trust it as your past programming wants to pull you back down into believing the lie and darkness that you are battling in the first place. This is one of those lessons. No matter how many times I’ve been taught, guided, enlightened, and encouraged to stop judging myself so harshly for not living up to impossible expectations that I alone am holding myself to, I continue to struggle with it. Possibly more than any other thing in my life. Our parents, or family, or friends, or society may well begin the cycle of judgement in our lives, but we are the only one’s responsible or capable of fixing it deep within ourselves. If you’re out there right now, and feel like you’re failing life, know that you’re not alone. By this point in human history and modern society we have constructed such a massive system or pressure that comes at us from all sides. In order to feel like we have any true worth at all we feel compelled to consume and collect material goods to display to those around us in an attempt for their validation. And we must work ourselves into early graves in order to make enough money to collect and consume in the first place. So the pressure continues, and our self criticism continues. I think we need to have a big rethink on what’s really important in life. In this world. For all of our futures. And in the meantime, give yourself and others a break. As hard as it may seem to believe, everyone is doing their best. Everyone. We were all just given different instructions on how to do it as we’ve all grown in this life. Lead in love. Love in light. 🙌」2月17日 6時35分
