Our intention behind our actions can change an entire situation. The space we come from is more important than the thing we do. We can do the exact same thing over and over and get an entirely different experience based on our why.
I find this everywhere.
When you are unaware of your motivation for the action you are taking, it is typically because you trying to fill a void inside of you. You feel separate from the world, and the void never fills because you are using the outside world to fill it.
When you learn how you operate and why you are making certain choices, you are conscious about what you’re doing.
Lets take people pleasers for example:
People pleasers take action to gain approval and love. They are looking for validation of their self worth outside of themselves and how the other person reacts can shake them to the core. A people pleaser will rise under someones approval, and they are crushed under criticism.
But when the exact same person does the exact same thing with an aim to only share the love inside of them… the whole situation takes on a different energy. The approval and criticism they receive from others isn’t relevant to who they are because they were just sharing the love inside, not looking for anything to fill them up.
This is why it is so important to have your inside right. Other people lose their control over you, and you find an inner peace.
You can light up the world with love, and nobody has the power to stop you.
So before you do anything, ask yourself what you are trying to gain. If your intention is purely to give, then proceed and give it all you’ve got. The results don’t matter.
