Today's Reflection

If you don’t know who you are, how can you know what you can achieve?  I believe that very few people have truly become acquainted with their real selves, preferring the easy option of being content to know who they think they are – but it’s an easy option that leads to you missing your life.

We all think that we know who we are – we all think that we know our strengths and weaknesses – we all think that we know our capabilities are inadequacies.  But, we’re all wrong – the person that we think we know is our personality, something akin to a hologram composed of all the little details of our formative years that have stuck in our subconscious mind.  The word personality is derived from the Latin persona, meaning a mask.  How apt.

And, whilst your personality may have got you thus far in life – it won’t get you to where it really matters.  Your personality is wholly incapable of giving you true happiness, peace of mind and effortless success.  Only the real you can do that – and it can do it at the drop of a hat, in the twinkling of an eye – if you just let it.

But, to do that, you have to know who you are and of what you are truly capable.  You will rarely encounter the real you in the course of everyday life – simply because everyday life is the kind of everyday repetitive occurrence on which your personality thrives.  You’ve got to give your self space.  That space if created through meditation.  Meditation clears the mind, stops the noise of random thought on which the personality feeds and exposes the personality for what it truly is – a figment of the imagination of those personalities who did things to you or for you during your own formative years.

Nothing could be simpler than sweeping aside the perceived weaknesses – and, indeed, the perceived strengths – that are holding you where you are in your life, that are holding you back from effortless living.  Are you prepared to make the space for the real you to make an appearance in your life?
