Is There Something Wrong With Us?
We are so quick to assume that there is something wrong with ourselves, and the way it is already, that when we hear about Awareness, we assume that it means that we need to try to become more aware. When we hear about Peace, we assume that we need to try to become more peaceful. When we hear about Love, we assume that we need to try to be more loving. What if there is absolutely nothing wrong or missing? What if it is just a case of having a laugh at all the ideas of how it supposedly ‘should’ be, and seeing that this is how it actually is.
I think what you’re saying is just what I needed to hear. It’s fantastically freeing. I am a nutrition counselor for clients who come to me to basically lose weight and be healthier or to simply like themselves more. Thus far I have been talking to them about being more aware, peaceful etc. as you say, but now I’m going to change my attitude and instead of saying
“be more aware.”.just remind them simply of their awareness which is already happening all the time.
