We have buried our childhood wounds and some of us have suppressed memories. Others are out of touch with who they are, and some are on a constant search to figure out who they really are.
We partially isolate ourselves by having independent living spaces, we are a community animal and relationships are important for our happiness and well being.
Our ego wants to separate us from each other by thinking we are different, competing and comparing against each other, and closing our hearts.
One of the greatest acts of humility I have learned is to understand that we are not different, but all connected to each other and so much the same. Anything that scares me, will probably scare you. I’ve experienced feelings of shame, anger, rage, and joy… and so have you.
If I try to hurt you, I am also hurting myself. We share humanity, our soul happily responds to caring for each other. As I learn to love myself and take of myself better, you reap the benefit of my whole self.
Navigating togetherness while being enslaved to our ego is hard. It helps to learn about our ego and how it works to keep us separate, but it helps even more to learn humility.
I am always asking, “how can we serve and help each other but still look after ourselves?”
Seek connection and learn to set boundaries.
Open your heart without compromising your self.
Reach out to each other, understand the journey is hard for everyone, drop your armour, and let go of judgement.
We are all on the same journey it’s just manifesting differently for each of us.
