We can feel so desperate to change certain things in our life. Especially when it comes to changing ourself, to be more in harmony with whom we really feel we are.
The illusion
The real problem here is that we are convinced that what we feel, our emotions, are what we are. And we are so identified with them that it becomes almost impossible to change.
The reality is that you are who you want to be. More exactly, you are who you decide to be, whether it feels possible or completely impossible.
I believe that the first thing we should learn when we grow up, is that all that we think we are, and all that we think the world is, must be reevaluted.
We have totally control on who we are, but we totally ignore it most of the time. A lot of people even think that they are who they are and that’s the only possibility. It is their fate!
That’s false! But I have to admit that our identification with our emotions make things appear so the vast majority of the time!
The solution
I believe the first step to regain our control is to become perfectly aware of this reality. And to make it an obvious reality. Something we say to ourself again and again!
Then we have to embody that truth everytime we decide we are someone different from what our emotions make us feel.
It is extremely important to put our energy at that task, because all our power resides here!
Maybe you can relate that with a period of your life where you decided to become someone better. A better player in a sport or activity for example. You did everything you could to let no other possibility to your mind but to believe you were this new person!
It is exactly the same thing we can do at each moment of our life. And I think that the moment we decide there is nothing we can do to change who we think we are, we are just starting to die. What doesn’t evolve dies, that’s the law of nature.
But you have all power to decide who you are. So change what you don’t like and live a real great life! It’s completely up to you, and it’s your duty!
