Have you ever taken a self-help course with great hope and expectation that it would fix whatever it is in your life you deem to be broken…but nothing changed, or if it did, it didn’t “stick”?
The reason is…
1. You’re not broken; you don’t need to be “fixed”. There’s nothing wrong with you.
2. You’re looking for a solution “out there” instead of accepting yourself as who you were born to be.
Throughout our lives we learn how to fit into society, our families, school, our peer groups, etc. We play each role as we think we’re supposed to and how we think others want us to.
Through trial and error, we quiet or amplify parts of ourselves in order to feel accepted.
We laden ourselves with “shoulds” and “should nots” then assume that if we’re not happy, something is wrong with us and we need mending.
What if, instead, you accepted that who you are naturally is who you’re meant to be?
The more you accept yourself, the happier you become.
However, change requires change.
You can’t get to a new town by driving around on the same roads in your current town.
Meaning, if your heart isn’t happy, it’s asking you to change direction.
A different experience requires a new perspective.
If you’ve done courses, read self-help books and asked the Universe for something outside of you to change, ie: your partner to act differently, a career you actually like, your parents to love you more…and nothing much is different, perhaps that’s because the answer lies within.
After all, if a bone in your arm breaks, you don’t put a cast on your partners arm.
Happiness is an emotion which comes as the result of a happy heart.
