“Why do you do what you do now?” a good friend recently asked me.
Because I feel I am on the right path. I walk my own way and have a clear sense of what I am here to do in this world. That feels wonderful, increasingly familiar, increasingly free. It liberates me from collective conventions, norms and values.
Am I a bit unhinged? Perhaps. Taking distance teaches you to see differently. You observe yourself and the world from a wider perspective. Then you see and feel what still resonates and what no longer does. “You only see it once you get it,” said Cruijff. And once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.
My awakening around 2018 first turned outward, toward the world. Later, it opened the way inward. “As within, so without. As above, so below.” This truth resonated deeply. All the restlessness and insecurity in me mirrored outward. And all the chaos, suffering and power struggles outside of me reverberated within. Facing that has been both confronting and valuable.
Everything carries its yin and yang. It makes and it breaks you. It brings joy and it brings pain. It gives success and it causes failure. And it colors your life. I now wear my colors with dignity. I have shown them.
I am grateful for the deep journey in and toward myself: reflecting, learning, unlearning, failing, cleansing, failing again and transforming. My authentic Self now stands in the light. It feels free and vibrantly alive. I wish for everyone that their authentic Self shines. That you dare to show your true colors and live fully from your passion.
Do you grant yourself that too?
Pause for a moment with this question…
Do you allow yourself a life lived from passion, authenticity and abundance?
Or do limiting beliefs immediately surface that hold you back?
Or do you prefer to brush these questions aside?
Or do you feel this is exactly the moment to take a step toward living authentically?
Do these questions resonate with you? Or do your answers confuse you?
