Discovering
your Greater Self
By Jamie
Reklau
Do you ever wonder about that person deep within
you that you know exists, but have yet to discover?
You know what I am talking about. I’m taking about that greater person, hiding,
that person you know has so much more potential to offer you and the world
around you, that person you have ignored.
We all have it. I know I’ve been
guilty! We all have greater capabilities
and more to offer ourselves, our lives and our surroundings.
Have you ever really asked yourself why you have
chosen not to discover your greater self?
Is it fear?
The fear of what you are really capable of?
Perhaps you feel underserving?
Or there is the possibility that you may feel
incapable of achieving whatever it is that is hiding inside?
Maybe you have thoughts such as …
“I could never do that, I don’t fall into that
classification.”
“I’m just not good enough”
“My age is an issue, it doesn’t pay”
“Why bother, what if I fail?”
“I have no motivation at this point”
I know for myself, these quotes are not
very uplifting. Try changing them around
and aim for some golden, more positive thinking, which in return will give you a
more inspired feeling inside.
“I could totally do that! There are no limits holding me back!”
“I am completely good enough, I believe in
myself!”
“I have a lot to offer this world, I release all
limitations!”
“I now control my fear and fear no longer
controls me, my possibilities are endless!”
“I feel empowered and alive, choosing to take
control of my actions bringing me to my highest good!”
I am sure after reading the second set
of thoughts and affirmations the feelings flowing through you are more pleasant. Perhaps you have gained a new perspective,
new idea, found a glimmer of hope you didn’t have before, and maybe, just maybe
you have just started the journey of discovering your greater self!
In the last year I gained a new
perspective on something that I want to share with you. Let’s go back to that first round of negative
thoughts, specifically the last one…
“I have no motivation at this point.”
I used to say this all the time. “It’s
just not the right time”, “I don’t have the motivation for that yet”, “I’m not
ready”, yes, I too said all
of these things, and more! Let’s be
real, it’s called being human, right?
It’s true, but is this REALLY the label we want to give to
humanity? I say not. We have all been put here to do something
phenomenal! Yes, that means YOU TOO! Yes we all fall short sometimes, however
we all have the choice to dig deeper and rise again!
I ‘m confessing, I had a rude awakening
when I came across one of my now, all-time favorite speakers, Mel Robins. Wow did she bust my ass! I am not afraid to
admit it. She is honest, raw, and has
this amazing capability of saying what everyone else is thinking, yet too
afraid to say. She also says some things
that light people on fire and make them question things. She is blunt, honest and she has inspired me
on so many levels. One concept of hers really hit home for me. She said it, I became mad, angry and thought
it was a bunch of crap. The reality is,
she was right, and she was calling me out on one of my biggest issues and it
was hard for me to admit. She states…
“Motivation is Garbage! You are never going to
feel like it!” –Mel Robbins
In one of her speeches she goes on to
say,
“You just make the
choice to do it and you go for it! Our bodies are not designed to be
uncomfortable, we have to push through that part.”
Wow, she is spot on! Some of the most
challenging things in life make us the most uncomfortable but also are the most
rewarding! Keep it real, you know this
is true.
“DO IT NOW, SOMETIMES LATER NEVER COMES”
Walt Disney also states…
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the
courage to pursue them.
–Walt Disney-
Now take that quote, change it up and
say this out loud to yourself…
“All of MY dreams WILL come true, because I have
the courage to pursue them.”
Embrace this, believe it, own this, and
really take time to feel how you feel when you speak this statement. Say it out loud, pay attention to the things
you think when you hear yourself speak positive. It can change your entire perspective
within. Believe this!
Allow yourself to feel Inspired to reach
new Aspirations
in your life!
One of the biggest lessons I have
learned personally, is how we view ourselves and how we talk to ourselves is
one of the largest reasons we suppress our greatest inner being. There is no
one else in this world holding you back, only you, and how you treat yourself
and the choices you make.
Take some time and think about the
negative things you say to yourself and how you view yourself on a daily basis. Ask that person inside some of these
questions…
“Would I talk to my best friend this way?”
“How am I benefitting myself by talking so
negatively to the one person I have to be with daily?”
“How is your negative self-talk stopping you in
your life?”
“How would it feel to really release the negative
self-talk and begin to love yourself completely?”
