What’s getting in the way of living a life you love? Or loving your life more?
Knowing yourself better.
If you’re anything like me, chances are you arrived at midlife hardly knowing yourself at all.
I’m not surprised. That’s what enduring years, even decades, of social conditioning will do to you.
Tell me, do any of these sound familiar?
You spend most of your days anticipating and meeting the wants and needs of others
You have little recollection of the details of your life because you have become numb to yourself and how you move through your days
You feel like you know those closest to you better than you know yourself
You want something different but aren’t sure what that is
You feel stuck but struggle to make a decision that could move you forward
Perhaps you’ve even gone down the path to “find yourself,” reading self-help books and taking various personality tests.
Maybe they were helpful … to a point. But you’re still struggling with feelings of emptiness, discontent, loneliness, and dissatisfaction.
Why is that?
Because you aren’t connecting with the part of you that knows you best—your soul.
You don’t need to find yourself. You need to remember yourself—your true self.
When you take the time to connect with and listen to the wisdom of your soul, the life you’re living on the outside begins to reflect the truth of who you are on the inside.
The challenge is that we have been conditioned to disregard the voice of our inner authority in favor of external authorities (parents, teachers, clergy, social media, etc.).
