Blame and Shame

I call it BS, better known as Blame and Shame. It can be good to understand, you can you can read more about it here.

So, if you understand that the BS is holding you back, then you can begin to let go, I mean really let go of the judgement of yourself and others and trust in life. Yes, this is hard to do, because for years we have been blasted with goals and meeting goals and being somebody and having stuff and on and on. So now you may want to read this

Maybe not what you expected. It was not for me either. I wanted to get, have, BE, just like everybody else. Most of the time we are trying to GET something, show off what we HAVE, or trying to BE someone, all in the name of attention from others. But when do we get to know ourselves when we are caught up in what is going to happen NEXT? And when are we going to get there? And On and ON, always living for the NEXT moment and unable to be in THIS moment. Our minds racing toward the next thing that is going to happen.

I have been in that place, caught up in the whirlwind of racing toward the next goal. I thought maybe I was just lazy. But I found the race was getting the best of me and I was not able to compete with myself anymore. I felt a loser for awhile, as I had not lived up to what I thought I was "supposed" to do, but now I am more inclined to believe that we all have our place in this world and if we let go of trying to control things we will be able to be at peace with ourselves, the world, and find our true selves. That is a hard one, because it sounds like giving up, but is is more letting go.

This year I want to work toward being me and not striving to live up to some ideal. I will let you know how it goes, and you may want to try it as well. In later blogs we will discuss who we are and who we feel we should be. Wishing you a peaceful New Year. Be your best by being you.
