Going Deep

January 7, 2009

There are times when life urges us to seek more. Small changes to our comfort zone may fail to alleviate any sense of stagnancy or frustration, and we may need to examine our lives and ourselves more deeply to find the right place to start. Everything we need for success and joy lies within. But so often, life’s debris accumulates, building layers around our core that makes it difficult to access the truth that resides within. To reach the depth we wish to access, we must dive below these layers to the deepest parts of ourselves.

The first layer can be found in our minds. Our to-do lists and busy work are usually less important than we think, so we must look past them to examine the thoughts that matter most to us. The next layer can be found in our hearts, where past hurts and disappointments can sometimes cover up our vulnerabilities, as well as the truth of who and what really stirs the love within us. We can choose to go even deeper – to our center. If we can go beyond anything has affected us to the point that it blocks us at the gut level, we can reconnect with our power, our raw instincts, our organic yeses. Here, at the core, lies our truth. Our core is our foundation that supports us and what we’d like to build our authentic life upon.

When we examine ourselves to these depths, we are able to find what we wish to bring to the surface and what we wish to let go. When we remember what lies beneath our layers, we can look at what was floating on the surface, causing blocks and pains, and understand the purpose that they served. Oftentimes, it is the built up debris that causes us to go deeper, so we can search for the truth. Go deep, live life from your truth within, and watch your innate beauty manifest outward.

今年没有升级。

3/4年没有升级了？太久，所以都忘记了是几年。

本来很期待，但没有会升级的感觉。感觉对了。

去拿信的时候，老板说：“no news is good news。”

也没错啦。

本来有点失望，因为我觉得去年的评估不公平，付出了很多却没有回报——但不是一切付出都要／有回报的。一切依赖的是福分、时机。

时间对了，应该得到了，就会得到。

刚刚在工作时想到另一点，去年得到的其实很多了——有了自己的房子，结婚，有了孩子，下来baby就要来了。

这些，都不是升级或是金钱可以买到得到的。

Everything we need for success and joy lies within.

写到这里，不禁要骄傲一下：真的有成熟一些哦。
