There’s so much allure of bigger, better, more, higher, stronger, faster…
I could go on.
There’s this unspoken (or spoken, in some cases) idea that we’re supposed to want more more more, all the time — and then we wonder why we never feel like we have/do/produce/are enough.
It’s no fault of
our own that we get sucked into the delusion.
“I should want
this, but I don’t want this.”
How many of us are making decisions based on shoulds?
On external appearance?
On what things look like to other people?
On what we see other people doing or wanting?
On trying to keep up with those we assume are better than or more worthy than us?
On what we’ve been taught is worth striving for?
On what we think we’re supposed to want?
On what we’ve come to base our worthiness and enoughness around?
On what society has deemed important or successful?
On comparison?
How many of us are living out of alignment with what we truly want because to claim that would mean to lay down all the ways we’ve been prioritizing how we appear versus how we actually are — how we’re seen versus how we see ourselves — how it looks versus how it feels?
