“Certain personality characteristics become evident when we are in touch with our universal Self. We are immune to criticism, but responsive to feedback. This means that on the emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels, we feel neither beneath nor superior to anyone else. This doesn’t mean we are arrogant or cocky, but a quiet confidence and dignity radiate from us that result in a fearlessness and readiness to creatively take on any challenge. It also means we are never the victim of self-importance, knowing that all self-importance is a form of self-pity in disguise. We relinquish the need for approval and control. This means that our actions are independent of the opinions of others and detached from expectations. We are motivated by our own powerful instincts and their evolutionary outcome, not because we have any expectations for payback. We empower others by allowing them to be themselves. This means we react to people without preconditions and preconceptions. We accept people for who they are and do not force them to conform to our needs and expectations. In doing so, we empower others to express their full potential as well." ~ Deepak Chopra One of the most difficult things for us to do as these darling human beings that we are, is to unravel ourSelves from the controlling thoughts that have us convinced that they, the thoughts, are who we are. Some of us are gripped so tightly by our conditioned thought patterns that to step out of them brings panic and fear. Our physiological reaction to our thoughts is all the evidence we need of the power they have. What could change for you in this instant if instead of thinking you have no choice you consciously choose what you think? And what if you were to keep making new choices with every thought? As you challenge your thought loops and choose to step out of the cycle, you create new possibilities for yourSelf. You can re-write your reality. You can honour Who You Really Are :) “One of the first principles to honor in your relationship with yourSelf is to respect and trust your own inner voice. This form of trust is the way of the heart, the epitome of well-being.” ~ Michael Bernard Beckwith
