Another superb post! And yes, I love what you said about embracing emotions, taking action before getting clarity/answer to a particular situation.
It's actually been most of what I've been going through lately and I noticed how much I missed out on from always focusing on the goal whiles missing out on great and awesome things along the way.
I recently started journaling to be able to capture both great, good and sad moments and I can't say how much it has relieved me and made me see how amazing God has been to me.
It has also enabled me to accept myself for who I am, and the awesomeness that I posses which in turn doesn't make me feel like I'm not good enough.
Thanks Chinaa as always!! Acceptance is big once! It's not always easy but I'm also trying to work on that too. Recently I've also learned that a lot of people have this limiting belief of not thinking they are inherently good... it's the first step into having a deeper connection with yourself!
Yesss, and I wonder why people think that they are not inherently good.
Maybe it's because of how they handle their emotions. For example, when someone sees something that they wish they had - they may feel jealous and straight away think that they're a bad person.
But in reality, that emotion didn't come to let them know that they're a bad person but rather an alert to them that they've lost confidence in themselves to also have stuff that they want/desire.
So instead of feeling awful or sad that you're jealous you should first accept that you need to improve on your confidence in yourself to be able to get what you want and then be happy for the person that has that stuff you want and know that if you work hard or do the things you're supposed to - you'll get that stuff too🤗✨
Love this post! Curious to see where your exploration of this topic goes. I am also curious if you thought about a role ego plays in ambition? I have lately been playing with an idea that perhaps ambition is something that people SEE in me but all I am doing is enjoying the play/nowness of intellectual challenge.
