PART 1 –
WHO ARE YOU?
Isn’t it funny when, THEY TRY TO DRAG YOU DOWN but that only rises you up even higher!
What do you stand for?
In this podcast you will hear me state very
clearly, that in order to really know what you stand for, you have to know WHO
YOU ARE. You have to be VERY clear on WHO YOU ARE!
Back in 2020,
I went on a self-discovery mission. It started when I was in the phase of my
degree modules looking at ‘THE SELF’ from a philosophical and psychological
perspective and in breaking down the attributes that determine the self, it
made me really see things from a multi-angular perspective. It really made me
tap in to parts of myself I never knew existed. This, my friends, is growth.
Evolution of our interpersonal and intrapersonal selves and how we help shift
our collective.
I went
through this thing where song lyrics started to have a deeper impact on me and
I really started having AHA moments where the meanings behind a lot of things I
had never clicked with before started to really hold new weight and make sense
to me in a way they never had before. One in particular, was the song the
pretender, Foo Fighters, where please, go listen yourself but, in a nutshell,
WHO ARE YOU? And are you going to stand up for the truth, your worth, your
authenticity?
In order to
do that, you have to peel back all the layers and go inside and underneath to
find out WHO YOU ARE! This my friends, is what is otherwise known as ‘the dark
night of the soul’. The beginning of your self discovery journey and it is
painful, brutal and will shake your world so wildly you won’t be the same
person on the other side that you were when you first went in. The alchemist is
the one who transforms their pain in to wisdom. Now thyself!
One thing on
that, is the difference between your ROLE and your identity. If you label
yourself as ‘Mum, Wife, Friend, Accountant, Teacher etc etc’ then you are
limiting yourself because those roles are ever evolving and when they shift and
change, our only constant, you will be left with ZERO SELF WORTH and you will
not be able to form authentic relationships or fulfilling life possibilities
because you are not putting any essence of YOU in to the parts of your life
that require more. Those parts require YOU and you can never get what you want
out of life if you’re coming from a place of unknowing, inauthentic pretence,
superficial understanding and limited belief. This is the problem with most of
the world. We are too afraid to BE who we truly are. The real I AM that comes
from identity and not role. That part of you that is soul based and goes deeper
than the role. I AM an introvert / extrovert. I AM quiet / reflective. I AM a person
that dreams almost every night or that gets deeply affected when I listen to
Chopin. I love walks in the rain because it makes me feel…..I love swims in the
sea though I AM afraid of deep water. I LOVE psychology. I DO NOT LOVE maths. I
LOVE to star gaze. I AM an empath….you see, its far deeper than I AM a mum. I
LOVE being a mum but I am more than just my role. It does not define who I
truly am. In honesty, nor does the above either on a grander scale because if
we look further a field in to other energetics (story for another time) then we
are even more than that too. This again, is evolution but, right now, we’re at
the birthing stages of a new understanding so baby steps are required. Let’s
not go too fast but, lets at least start somewhere…And that somewhere is
exactly what I AM talking about! WHO ARE YOU? Dare to question it...
