Powerful You

"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." -Joseph Campbell

Mastering relationship with others is strength.

Mastering relationship with self is power.

Often I am struck by how much time & energy we waste on trying to:

-get others to believe/think/do what we want

-control others

-judge others

We spend so much time on "other". 

Why? 

Many reasons. 

I believe it's mostly because we want to feel loved and love. Somewhere we learned (erroneously!) in order to love and be loved we have to control. In fact, the opposite is true.

Perhaps we think focusing on other keeps us "safe" from having to face ourselves and take responsibility for who we are. It's an illusion!

I think we struggle with this because we feel guilt, shame & judge ourselves.

We can't give to another what we don't first give to ourself.

The remedy?

Learn how to master self - our beliefs (it all starts here!), thoughts, emotions, words, and deeds.

How?

Know thyself - dig deep

Love thyself - forgive thyself

Be thyself - show up authentically

I would say mastering self + being ourselves is true power - and the privilege of a lifetime.
