Someone recently emailed me to ask if I could figure out what’s wrong with them.
Hmmmm…
On the surface, there’s an easy answer:
There is NOTHING wrong with you. You are exactly the way you need to be right now.
Of course, you have “stuff.”
Everybody has stuff. And some people’s stuff is a lot more challenging than others’.
But I believe it’s there for a reason.
If you listen, can you hear what your stuff is trying to tell you?
Looking deeper, things get a little hairier –
Baggage. Issues. Complications.
Certainly, these things are not “right,” but does that make them wrong?
If I came into this life to learn who I truly am, won’t I learn more fully, more completely, if there are some obstacles to overcome? A sort of visceral learning?
Don’t know about you, but I didn’t spend a lot of time or effort on my subjects at school if they were a breeze for me.
Do I wish it could be easier?
Sure, sometimes I do.
But this is the way I’m WIRED. These challenges – scars, even – are a part of who I AM.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Fighting who you are doesn’t serve you.
It doesn’t serve anyone.
In fact, you may find, as I have, that the more you fight that “intrinsic you,” the more obstacles spring up in your path to make you pause and take stock of the situation.
Is there an obstacle in your life or health that makes you absolutely HAVE to slow down?
Are you grabbing that opportunity to help you assess your Inner YOU?
