[Daily OM]: There are times when life urges us
to seek more. Small changes to our comfort zone may fail to alleviate
any sense of stagnancy or frustration, and we may need to examine our
lives and ourselves more deeply to find the right place to start.
Everything we need for success and joy lies within. But so often, life's
debris accumulates, building layers around our core that make it
difficult to access the truth that resides within. To reach the depth we
wish to access, we must dive below these layers to the deepest parts of
ourselves.
The first layer can be found in our minds. Our to-do lists and busywork
are usually less important than we think, so we must look past them to
examine the thoughts that matter most to us. The next layer can be found
in our hearts, where past hurts and disappointments can sometimes cover
up our vulnerabilities, as well as the truth of who and what really
stirs the love within us. We can choose to go even deeper -- to our
center. If we can go beyond anything that has affected us to the point
that it blocks us at the gut level, we can reconnect with our power, our
raw instincts, our organic yeses. Here, at the core, lies our truth.
Our core is our foundation that supports us and what we'd like to build
our authentic life upon.
When we examine ourselves to these depths, we are able to find what we
wish to bring to the surface and what we wish to let go. When we
remember what lies beneath our layers, we can look at what was floating
on the surface, causing blocks and pains, and understand the purpose
that they served. Oftentimes, it is the built-up debris that causes us
to go deeper, so we can search for the truth. Go deep, live life from
your truth within, and watch your innate beauty manifest outward.
