Part 1 of 2: Being Whole

Hello Again!

An interesting component that must be explored before the thought of a relationship should be entertained is the concept of being a whole person. A whole person does not need the approval of others to be confident. It is a state of being that radiates through a person, and is cultivated from within. It seems foreign because we are taught that how other people perceive us is a main motivation in what we do and how we act. There are so many distractions in daily life that the sound of our own voices gets easily drowned out by the unending stream of obligations, priorities, to do lists, and mainstream media.

So the challenge now, is to be still, and listen. What do you hear first? More internal chatter about what you forgot to do today is the likely answer. Ok, let that go, and listen again. Now what do you hear or see? Could it be a place that you once visited that you remember fondly? How about a memory of an accomplishment, or questions about the direction of your life? This is how you know you are headed in the right direction. Don't be surprised if you have to cycle through thousands of fear based thoughts to even begin to hear your true voice. The reality is that you have to keep at it. Every thought is a clue to us in the ways in which we are not whole. If you can recognize them as such, and understand what realm of programming they are, as well as the source, than you have accomplished an amazing feat. You have now begun to divine why you have certain thoughts. When you can do that, you can decide not to continue having them. Believe it or not the mind is actually just as programmable as your DVR.Unfortunately, the reprogramming process takes practice, and it is easy to give up if you are not seeing quick results, but stick with it for at least a month, and I know you will see results.

In my next blog, I will discuss defining joy. The exercise I have given here is meant to help you uncover your true voice. In the next blog we will actually begin to interpret that voice, as it can often seem as though it is in a foreign language :)

Many Blessings,
