What would your life look like if you knew you could design it exactly as you would like it to be?
We all say that we wish to live a meaningful life and reach the perfect balance in our daily journey. Did we live at least some part of the life we imagined we would love to experience? The dominant thoughts in our minds consist of an equation of what we hear and learn since we "set foot" in this world or even long before that. It all starts with the way we develop in our mother's womb. We live through her emotions, thoughts and actions. We touch her deepest being at an unconscious level without even being aware of it.
All we experience throughout our lives is built upon a foundation we did not set ourselves. We generally make assumptions. We rarely let our true selves guide us.
Please imagine for one moment that you could be the architect of your life, and no other person might "interfere" with your plan. How would you create your life? I am sure you would try to live a healthy lifestyle. You would choose to live in a beautiful home surrounded by a gorgeous garden where you could nurture yourself with its daily nutrients physically and mentally. You would know deep down that nature is all you need to be well and happy.
What if you would not have your garden "sprayed" with artificial products? You would be comfortable knowing that your environment is as natural as possible. The people who might visit your garden would only teach you how to grow it healthily.
As you take care of your home and garden only by using healthy habits you will feel safe in your environment. The same would happen with your extended family, friends and neighbours. Everyone would feel secure and happy all around you. You might ask yourself: "Could this possibly happen?"
Human beings absorb everything from their environment the minute they are born.
Even if we try to build a meaningful life, circumstances and conditions do not always allow us to create that purposeful life. As small children, we copy our parents, extended family, and even the friends we have in our lives. We make these imitations a part of our identity. All these habits we carry into our adult life continue to "burden us", and we do not know how to part with them. Most of the time, they do not define us, and we continue carrying them throughout our lives.
How can you find positive results in transforming your life? What are the best solutions for being able to experience your "personalized life"?
Firstly, we must "take off the clothes we borrowed" from our family members, friends or the environment in which we find ourselves, starting from our childhood through our work environment and manage to find our thoughts and our voices.
As human beings, we must choose daily to put on our designs, the clothes that fit our values. We must detach from those around us, from their stories and avoid at all costs to identify with their life version. Every individual has its own life story, which is unique. We must remind ourselves that our varied life experiences are gifts we must receive with an open heart. By doing that, we will surely be on the right creative path.
Identifying with our inner voice will allow us to let her guide our life journey. Building a good foundation for our life experiences, one that is familiar with our true selves will make us feel at home in our skin, and we will see every life experience as an opportunity to free ourselves from ideas that do not belong to us. We will gently find our place. Let us choose the bricks that fit perfectly for our new home foundation.
Why do we keep listening to all the stories we hear in our minds throughout our lives? We are not conscious that these stories do not belong to us. We are always inclined to listen more to things that come from outside ourselves rather than from deep within.
We wish to be loved and liked more than we dare to acknowledge. We continuously try to find the love that we know must be somewhere. That pure love that we think we have not reached yet.
Our problem is that we always try to find it outside ourselves rather than looking for it deep within. We let ourselves be guided by the illusion that life must be lived as we were told and not as we feel it.
What if the story you heard all your life can be rewritten? Consider more your own opinion of how you should live rather than how others think you should experience life. We can only change something if we integrate every part of our unique human identity from deep within. Our unique human identity must remain in close connection with our authentic selves.
Only then will we feel at ease with ourselves and embrace the "perfect story" of our lives. We will design our home the way we wish to and live a meaningful life journey. You are the one who must choose how you identify with your life story. Always make sure it's your version and not the one of those around you.
A life worth living is a life with whom you truly identify with. We are the creators of our life story and must remind ourselves that we can create whatever our mind imagine. I always say that the heart must always be present in our equation. We forget how valuable our true selves are.
Every evening when you go to bed think how precious is the moment when you wake up the following morning. Your True Self awaits to reveal itself. It only needs your permission. Are you willing to water it and let it become the main character of your life story?
