What if we turned it all upside down?

Posted on by philipdodson

We are always looking for something to stop us doing something, for something to judge or criticise, we look to catch others doing something wrong, we seek to label and control.

What if we turned all that upside down and always ‘yes..do that!’, what if we accepted others for what they are, what if we looked to catch others doing something right and praised them, what if we let go and realise we can only control ourselves?

Wow…what a massive change that could make and we can all do it right now, if we choose to. Our choice to associate with our mind and its fears or to let our essence from our soul shine and all its love.

We are all living a ‘walter mitty’

We all live a version of a ‘Walter Mitty’ story in our heads, we create these fantasy versions of ourselves, that we act out in our heads, and in many way, in our actions and behaviours in the exterior world.

The challenge is though, that this ‘better’ or more exciting life/story that we create never really materialises and this leads to disappointment. We are dissatisfied, so we create a ‘better’ life, that never happens and then there is only further suffering, always seeking better rather than allowing the amazing human soul that we all are shine bright.

We expect that our ‘Walter Mitty’ life will become real, but it never does, and that leads to a feeling of lack and discontent. It becomes a spiral with no escape from these created personas.

If only we realised that if we let go of all the stories, the fantasies, the roles, the ‘Walter Mitty’ and actually let our true essence shine that we all have the most amazing life and journey to have.

When we are free from the burden of the stories, then we can be at peace within and then we can truly enjoy life now as our true self.
