Just being here, being ourselves, is enough. Most of us have the feeling that we are
here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done
something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel
incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because
they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment. In some cases, this
may be because we really are meant to do something that we haven’t yet done.
But in most cases, we can let ourselves off the hook with the realization
that just being here, being ourselves, is enough. As we live our lives in this world, we
share our energy and our spirit with the people around us in numerous ways.
Our influence touches their lives and, through them, touches the lives of
many more people. When we strive to live our lives to the fullest and to
become our true selves, we are doing something big on an inner level, and
that is more than enough to make sense of our being here on this planet at
this time. There is no need to hold ourselves to an old idea in the back of
our minds that we need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in
order to validate our existence. We can each look within our hearts to
discover what is true for us, what gives our lives meaning, and what excites
us. We can release ourselves from any pressure to perform that comes from
outside of our inner sense of purpose. Staying in tune with our own values
and living our lives in tune with our own vision is all we need in order to
fulfill our time here. Our lives are a process of becoming so that we cannot
help but cocreate; being who we are, responding to each moment as it comes,
we can trust that this is enough. |
