Sunday Story…Who Are You?

 

Deep down, at your core, who are you? Who is your authentic self?

Is it the kind, generous, empathetic person you show up as when you are at your best?

Or is it the cranky, irritated, impatient person who shows up when we are stressed, tired or busy?

 

The first person is who we strive to be at all times. The other one? The one that slips out is the incomplete and less competent version.

 

We can see this in children. They begin as little self centered and egotistical beings. They have no choice. Their world view is small and consists of very few other beings. As they grow and mature their world gets larger and other ways of being come into focus. They begin to grow taller and as they do their view becomes larger and more expansive. The opportunity arises to become kind, generous, and empathetic.

 

As we grow and mature our vision enlarges and becomes clearer. Pity the grown up who never grows up, whose vision remains fixed on the small and the petty and the selfish. We choose to create our interactions. We choose how we show up. Change how you show up if you look back and see a toddler.

 

Show up as the change you want to see in the world.
