Wholeness
Have you devoted time defining what it means for you to be whole? Do you have a clear sense of what this looks, feels, acts like? The greater your clarity, the more you empower yourself to enter the atmosphere of wholeness, and to remain there. If you define wholeness according to how others define it, you will manifest their idea of wholeness, not your own actual wholeness. Knowing your wholeness takes courage and a willingness to think and feel for yourself.
Thinking and feeling for ourselves is hard. We take it for granted. Mostly, we live out communal agreements. Each of us has different points of tolerance for diverging from the herd. Some stay close to the center of the herd for a lifetime, filled with fear and insecurity or just a natural need to be at the center.
Others find their peace at the edge of the herd. Some flee the herd entirely, running for their lives to the hills where they may or may not contribute to the herd in some way. What is your conformity setting? This relates to how you define wholeness. True wholeness has something to do with the herd and a great deal to do with your unique soul settings.
She decided she was enough.
Everything changed.
You are not anyone’s appendage. Your soul belongs at the center of your life, with all else orbiting. You are free to occupy your whole self. Living life quarantined within a narrow, devalued identity is a waste of life and blessings. Like living on a single rock when you have the whole mountain. You deserve to enjoy all your soulful acres. The world needs all your gifts.
Practice seeing yourself without boundaries. If in your vision you see signs that say No Trespassing, take them down and run out to meet the rest of yourself. You are a miracle with which you ought to be fully acquainted. Travel your sacred land.
You aren’t fruit to be picked. You are the orchard. Live abundantly. You are earth. Water. Wind. Sun. Seeds. Roots. Living whole is an art when your kind has been taught to live in parts. Bless you. You are forever ripening.
You are an entire life. All by your sacred self. Live richly in your relationships. Live even more richly in yourself. You were born a completed thing. Loving yourself means knowing this. The people in your life do not complete you. They reflect you. And you them. Be Loving mirrors for each other. Reveal one another. Remain whole. That’s your revolution.
