We are all born feeling strong and perfect.
It’s unfortunate that we treat each other so poorly in these times.
So poorly that as victims, we lose our confidence and develop poor opinions of ourselves.
We aren’t allowed to live through the efforts of our instincts, feelings, or needs. Consequently, we lose our power and our inner life.
When others ignore our every effort coming from our own needs, feelings, and instincts, we lose respect for these, and the ability to expres ourselves from them.
We can no longer express ourselves from our power and our hearts.
This is when our power disappears.
Without our inner strength, we live without confidence!
Not living from our own needs, our goals have become disconnected from our feelings. We are no longer kind.
We try to be important again, but that can only happen through the energy of our inner lives.
It’s peer-pressure that has brought us here, to where our world is now.
We have stopped living from our hearts and we do what our environment tells us to do instead.
Consequently, we live without awareness of who we are, or what we really want.
In this condition, we don’t support the independence of our kids. We don’t support everything good about them. Those all come from within.
If we did what our instincts tell us to do instead, we would be supporting the self-importance of our children. That’s what all other life does.
Then, our children would remain proud of who they are.
Then, as adults, we would all still be proud of who we are.
Instead, we are ashamed of much of who we are, and we have to live that way.
How to recover?
We need to relearn how to once again live from our hearts!
We should be reaching for connection with our real feelings, needs, and instincts. We have to try to live from these, not from peer-pressure!
We need to begin living openly. We have to stop hiding ourselves. Everything we are ashamed of, we need to be putting right out there, right on the table, for all to see!
That’s when, after all these years, we discover there was never anything about us to be ashamed about! Peer-pressure was wrong! It pretty much always is!
Life comes from within! Everything good in humans comes from deep within! When we learn how to allow expression of these things from other people again, we will get our kind world back!
Other people were wrong in their assessment of our qualities. They were judging us from their peer pressure, not from who we really were.
A person living from their values inside is a very attractive person. Everything good about humanity comes from within.
Humanity has not done well in understanding the real nature of people and supporting everything good. We seem to believe that enough pressure will make others become good people.
We fail to notice that people are born loving and kind.
Given support and encouragement, they will stay that way!
All the conflict everywhere only comes from those of us who were never allowed to live from our own hearts!
If we can allow others to live from their instincts, needs, and feelings, conflict becomes impossible. Living from within puts us all on the same page!
Our needs are all very similar. We crave acceptance and appreciation with every cell of our bodies.
When we can live from within, we are aware of that. Our goals then become real.
Thanks for listening,
Good luck on your journey.
