Ditching fitting in

Posted on by philipdodson

Fitting in is something we feel we need to do, so much so, that even when there is no one there, we still behave in a way that would be seen to be normal.

We are afraid of being different and that fear prevents us from being our true selves. We suffer within from that fear of not fitting in, of being judged for being different and at the same time we suffer from not being who we truly are.

Perhaps it’s better to lose all the suffering…just be ourselves no matter what. Ditch fitting in and just be.

Take ownership

If we want something to be different or change, then we have to do something different.

Seems simple, but so many of us repeat the same things and expect something to change, particularly as our ego looks to others to change as they are the ones causing our misfortune, or perhaps it’s the weather or something else that we can blame or be a victim of.

It all starts with us, we are the only ones that can change anything in our lives and it requires us to do something new. It often requires sacrifice and it will certainly involve commitment to forming new habits.

The simple change can come from letting go of our thoughts and repeating mindstreams and focusing on this moment. Consciousness allows us to become aware and awareness is vital for any change or growth to take place.

Be in this moment and take ownership.
