Thought-filled Thursday--December 14, 2023
You need to know that what you feel is not necessarily the same as what really happened.
Accept whatever thoughts and images that come to mind, whatever sensations are felt in the body, whatever passions surge up without judgment and shame, or having to act on them.
Each of us has a personal story, with a cast of characters and a role we were cast by our family. A story that we continue to unconsciously live, recruiting others to play familiar roles, until we become aware of the underlying plots and subplots.
Who you try to be and how you were seen by others may be very different from your own archetypes and thus your own story.
Courage is a willingness to act from the heart, to let your heart lead the way, not knowing what will be required of you next and if you can do it.
