When will YOU be enough?
We are ummm... I wouldn't use the word Living anymore, so let's try again.
We are EXISTING in a society where I wonder when will we be enough?
When will your body be enough? When will your income be enough? When will your achievements be enough?
WHEN?
I am asking you this today so that some of us might wake up.
When I was a little girl, I used to dance in my bathroom with the radio on and I kid you not when I say that what I experienced at that time was sheer, inexplicable joy! Yes, in the bathroom, on the balcony and anywhere where music could reach my ears. What happens to that child for whom there was no RIGHT stage? The entire world was the stage for you could hear music everywhere!
10 years have passed since that time. 10 years of me trying to recreate that same feeling of joy. There was nothing that could bring me greater joy so I decided to follow that path against all odds. And trust me, it was against many odds.
Cut the long story short and keep a lot of drama out it, I became a dancer. Danced with 2 very reputed companies and trained in many styles. Performed in a bunch of places and unknown spaces but that child was still out of my grasp.
And now, after those 10 years I dance again on my own and finally encounter that joy again! With no teacher, no one telling me what a dancer should look like or feel like and I finally see me again. I finally hold the hand of that child who would dance fearlessly and shamelessly simply for the joy of it!
I have come to see that that creativity is so readily available to us. It is so intrinsic in our nature. There is no need for innumerable struggles and countless self created hurdles.
Yes, you can BE and you can trust in your BEING.
We are living in the Instagram and Facebook Generation which has a lot of advantages but also a lot of disadvantages for the fledgling soul. We see Perfect lives, Beach Yoga Selfies, amazing cars and beautiful mansions.
We don't see the hurt souls crying for attention, we don't hear the cries of loneliness. I wonder who do we end up deluding? The people who see us or ourselves?
Either way, it's probably the best time to take a leap inwards and see how we have really been feeling. Has that money we always wanted given us what we truly seek? Has that achievement been real in terms of happiness or was it skin deep?
Think back to 5 memories that made you truly happy. Really re-live them and go back to them in great vivid detail. You may find that most of the moments might have been with loved ones or more often alone. If not, write to me and I would love to know what those moments of authentic happiness truly were.
I shall end by saying YOU ARE ENOUGH
I AM ENOUGH
LOVE
