Why We’re Addicted to Control, Identity, and Separation

Ancient wisdom knew what modern life has forgotten: we're not meant to do life alone...

Our culture has shaped a story, one where we each run to our own internal narrative, disconnected from everything and everyone around us.

This makes us feel that each of us are separate, isolated, and self-contained. But our history tells a very different story, that we are all part of something larger. That hurting one of us hurts the whole.

Feeling Disconnected!

Letting go of the story of “I am” be it man, woman, strong, poor, even our own name, is a radical step. These are all identities and tags we’ve created to feel safe in a world that constantly tells us we must be something. These stories often become masks we hide behind and that keep us trapped in isolation. When we believe we don’t need anyone, or worse, that anyone different from us is a threat to defeat we are out of alignment.

When we stop and question instead of blindly following the internal voice, whether it’s rooted in fact or fiction, we can begin to lift the filters that block us from seeing reality clearly. The story we tell ourselves about who we are is just a fabrication, a projection. It hides the parts of us we feel ashamed to show ~ The pain, insecurity and programming we’ve carried through life.

Stop attaching so tightly to “Your Story”

There is profound freedom in stepping away from that internal script.

Storms will come ~ they’re a part of being alive and I’ve come to see them as a powerful invitation to grow. But when we stop attaching so tightly to “our story”, we begin to see that we can be so much more when we get into flow and learn to trust and listen to our intuition.

Our minds ~ or what I’ve termed the "Mego" will do anything to stay in control. It wants to con us into believing that we’re in charge, and has us constantly trying to prove ourselves that we're stronger, richer, smarter. Always competing, always comparing. But who are we really trying to impress? Others? Or ourselves? And what for?

There are over 8 billion people on this planet, each with their own unique fingerprint. That’s over 8 billion different perspectives, personalities, and reasons for being here. You don’t need to fit a mold.

Just be you ~ Because everyone else is already taken.
