Another day has passed in the week, in a week that feels like two weeks were crammed into one. As I sit here writing the entry I wonder how many people in the world has had a very difficult week and wonder if the difficulty was their own doing or they have taken on the burdens of others. For me it is certainly the latter as I try t provide an outcome for my clients.
Each human being is adding bricks to their own wall; and this wall can be towards themselves and others, it could be there to protect or it could be there to help us promote ourselves and propel further into the world.
We all have a proverbial wall that is a blocker in our own evolution. Some would call it anxiety some would call it low self esteem, some would call it anger, some would call it lack of opportunities, some would call it lack of health. However you want to call your own wall, it is after all our own selves who put that wall up and we keep on adding to the wall. If the wall was in front of you, how would you deal with it? There would so many options to deal with a wall, but I wonder which options would you be comfortable taking up?
This week, every day I came across at least one person who self imposed a wall, not only that they had a self imposed wall, they also added a new layer of bricks to it. I have to admit I could have done that myself, and perhaps to some degree I have through what I have said to myself, about others, or to others, I will never know. But I also know that when I could have given up, I have not. I have sought to have a different experience, and I guess with each day passing it feels like I am dismantling the walls of my own life. My wall is pretty high, I have been building it for years. How high is your own wall? What is it made out of? Can it be dismantled? Are you ok dismantling your wall that you have so carefully built? Are you ready to undo years of conditioning? Are you ready to set yourself free once more? Are you willing to take the wall down?
I know that a few months ago we looked at one wall, then it got mentioned again a few weeks ago, but it feels like this is a topic that is worth mentioning. As I look in the world, we are asked time and time again to divide ourselves away from others through various means. But I also wonder how much of this division is helping us at an individual level? Do you feel safer alone? Do you feel happier and more fulfilled as part of a wider group? Do you not get your “reward” from that sense of belonging? Do you not feel like you need connection to thrive? How long are you willing to continue building that barrier in your life?
As always join in the conversation in a comment, or journal your thoughts. We are ready to evolve, join us on the journey of discovery.
