The New Year's is here,
Which brings up the lovely topic of everyone's insecurities.
Maybe you've been feeling it.
Insecurities about what you haven't accomplished,
Insecurities about how much weight you've gained,
Insecurities about overall where you should be in your life.
And from the media and from society's message of you are not enough,
You haven't accomplished enough,
You're not good looking enough,
You're not successful enough,
You are then prompted to set goals and New Year's resolutions.
And the problem with this is not the goals,
But the place where you're coming from when you set them.
And that is a place of lack,
Of saying I am not enough as I am,
So I need to accomplish X in order to feel like enough,
In order to feel okay,
To feel worthy,
To feel accepted.
And what happens when you set goals from this place of lack is that the message you are sending to the universe is one of want and one of need.
And since the universe responds to who you are being,
You will continue to receive this feeling of wanting and needing.
And even if you were to hit a goal,
You will still feel this discontentment and this need and this lack to still want to do more.
So what are you saying,
Do I not set goals?
What I'm saying is that you change the process from outside in to inside out.
The goal is then to first realize that you don't have anything to prove to anyone.
You realize that you are this miracle that is being a human being on planet earth and the sheer miniscule chance that that is even true is more than enough to prove how worthy you really are.
When you really sit with that,
Then you can start asking a different question.
You then start to set goals not from a place of wanting and needing,
But from a place of growth.
You ask what dreams and what goals do I have inside of me that I want to express out into the world?
And you ask not what do I need to do to achieve those goals,
But who do I need to become?
What do I need to create from within me in order to realize these dreams and to realize these goals?
And that is how you become inspired.
And inspiration is what helps you to persist through the tough times when motivation is just not there.
Inspiration is how you create your dream life rather than trying to plan it.
So the goal is now is we need to get inspired.
We need to get to a place of wholeness.
And since you're listening to this on Insight Timer,
There is no better platform to find a place of wholeness than through some of these meditations that are on here.
And I've actually created a meditation that is for this exact topic of remembering that you are enough,
Remembering that you are worthy.
So if you look through any of my meditations,
One of them is called a 10-minute reminder of you are enough.
And a lot of my meditations are aimed to help you feel that sense of empowerment,
That sense of purpose.
That's really what my goal is on this platform.
Some people say my meditations are similar to talks,
Which is why I actually wanted to try out a talk here for a change.
So please,
I'd love to hear your comments,
I'm open to any feedback.
And I wish you an inspired and an empowered 2018.
Namaste,
My friends.
