One way of holding your life journey is that it’s a journey into the Heart Self.
Ego was built for survival and self-protection.
Thank god.
Many of us barely survive childhood.
Self-protection, through the construction of a false self (yup, the people-pleaser) was intelligent and genius.
Good on ya!
But in adulthood all this survival instinct gets in the way of living our own true life.
We need to get it to stand down.
But not through willpower.
It’s self-compassion that does the trick. Our hearts were broken by failures of love.
We can learn to treat ourselves the same way we’d treat a puppy who’s been hurt.
And when we do, we’re already in the Heart Self.
Which is where we want to be.
Because this is the true self. That knows itself already to be beautiful and radiant and a gift of inestimable value.
Yup, that’s you.
The people-pleasing you might not know that yet.
But you can stop trying to prove yourself. You’re already there.
Already worthy. Already loveable.
For the time being you may need to take my word for it.
But most of us simply need to remember the truth of who we are.
This is the journey into the Heart Self.
I hope this helps you remember you!
