Comfortableness of familiarity

It has come a time to leave the old behind and metamorphosis into to the new.

Freeing yourself from the old stories of the mind that have kept you from the truth.

I’ve been going through this rite of passage myself.

First feeling trapped in the fear and doubt of what’s to come – as something new is on its way – but now knowing what it exactly is.

My mind telling all kinds of horror stories of how my loved ones are turning their backs on me. Of my parents not accepting me. Of others not approving of me.

All this because I feel the rise of my true mission from within.

And because it’s something new, unknown, it scares the h*** out of my mind.

But my dearest reader.

Your mind is not you.
There’s more to you than your mind.

Something so beautiful words cannot describe.
Something that can only be felt.

But in its entirety, its wholeness, its all-encompassingness, it’s almost unconceivable to the mind. And thus scary.

In the process of the revelation of my true mission, I shrank back to old fears and doubts that are comfortable in their familiarity.

Me going for my mission is not safe.
I’m not worthy of this mission.
I need to earn my right to it.
By making sure everyone else is okay with it.
Because if they’re not, I’ll be abandoned.
And unloved.


But where’s the love in that story?

The story can be familiar, but if you’re being honest with yourself, is it really comfortable?

No.

The comfort lies in finding the love that’s missing in many of the mind’s stories.

In my case, finding the love in mine has been a true metamorphosis. One which cannot be bypassed.

So, my dear reader, I invite you to contemplate on

where’s the love in what you’re doing
or in the stories you’re telling yourself?



Much love,
Paula
