How is it that we always know what is true, and good, and right for us, but we live out our days like we don’t have a clue about what we are here to do?
Yesterday I shared about second guessing ourselves.
Not trusting ourselves and our Inner Guidance.
It could all be so simple, but we make life so difficult.
Could it be we love the rush of going against the tide, and then coming out, and up, from underneath?
Is it just our ignorance?
Our people truly do die for lack of knowledge.
Self knowledge!
It really is not about a lack of knowledge.
Deep down inside we always know.
Is the knowledge, and our truth, buried too deep, underneath all the bullshit we act like we believe.
I honestly don’t know what it is.
But then again, I do, because we always know.
It is not applying the knowledge.
Self knowledge!
It’s about not understanding what makes you and your life better.
It is about not applying the knowledge consistently.
Some things I know about myself.
I do not let laziness be more important than discipline.
Sometimes, to get started with a thing, in the beginning, I have to rely on discipline.
Discipline is not easy, but is very necessary.
Discipline will get me up out of bed when all I would rather do is pull the covers up over my head.
Let discipline be your friend.
At least in the beginning.
Especially, in the beginning.
Use discipline to get you going when your mind is telling you to snooze the alarm and roll over.
You do know that once you get started with a thing, you are good.
It becomes your new normal.
You begin looking forward to doing the thing.
Malcolm said it best when he said “by any means necessary”.
Do whatever it takes.
I feel like using another word for work is useful.
Self knowledge!
When I approach what I do, even that which I am choosing to do, from the place of “having to do the work“, I almost automatically want to shut down.
My mind subconsciously has a problem with “having to do the work“.
As I look at this, I see there are two parts to this equation.
“Have To Do” and “Have To Do The Work”.
I love doing everything.
But do not ever tell me what I have to do!
I have always been a hard worker.
I never give up.
I grind to the finish because I choose to.
But do not tell me what I “have to do”!
Even when you think it is for my own good.
Now about “Have To Do The Work”.
Work is such a loaded word to me.
It is full of resistance.
Who wants to go to work or have to do the work?
Not me!
Self knowledge!
I am all about getting it done!
And, therein lies my secret sauce.
I get to do the things.
I get it done.
I would much rather “get to do the things” than “have to do the work”.
It is just how my mind works.
Self knowledge!
I’m glad I understand the difference, for me, between getting to do the stuff and the things, and having to do the work.
Getting to do something brings me joy.
Having to do the work is a chore.
Simply substituting one, or two, words make a powerful difference in making my life work.
Self knowledge!
Understand the words that inspire you.
Let the words that trigger you go.
Say thank you. Job well done. Word, I now set you free.
Self knowledge!
Self knowledge helps me understand what is true, and good, and right for me, and allows me to be about what I am here to do.
Self knowledge lets me get shit done!
Heart. Based. Sharing
Peace. Love. Blessings
