Do you think your experiences in life up to this moment define who you are? Have you listened to the words you use when telling your story to others? Is your story sad or optimistic? Is it hopeful, realistic…
Sometimes, when I look back at my life I’m perplexed and amazed at the same time. How the time flies. How huge dramas and obstacles in the past, I see now as unnecessary suffering. Moreover, I can carry a painful memory for years. It will come to me at night when I’m the most tired. It will not let me sleep. Haunting me.
And even worse,
The Questions
All these questions, “Could I do better”, “If I did such and such differently, maybe it would have been a different outcome”, “Maybe my whole life would’ve been changed”… and so on.
These questions will circulate in my mind until I see clear pictures from the past. As a result, I will start suffering even more. Missing people. Remembering the shame, the guild. Wanting to turn back the time.
And then it’s 3 a.m. again.
Have you had these countless sleepless nights, my friends? It is exhausting, isn’t it? If we only knew how to silence this nagging voice. Life would’ve been far better.
If only we knew how to be brave, how to accept this new offer or a job or a romantic relationship, without being scared. Without consciously or subconsciously remembering what happened the last time. Therefore, stopping ourselves before it has started in the first place.
Oh, how lovely and liberating it would have felt. What a colourful life it would’ve been.
There is something here that might give you an interesting point of view.
Listen…
What if, whatever you think and believe is your story, is completely personal.
Please read that again…
I know, I know you are probably thinking right now, “of course it is personal after all it is MY story”. And that’s true but please look deeper.
Here is the thing…
Your story is the masterpiece you have created with your own thinking.
You are the creator and the teller at the same time. You are the writer and the director and the 3D effects.
And what is most important,
It is your choice what to keep and what to let go. Your memories are just thoughts about the past. They are not real.
Who stops you to let go of not helpful or even painful memories?
Are they serving you positively or on the contrary they stop you from developing. From taking bold actions, from putting yourself out there, getting what you want.
Or from declaring proudly to the world: I’m capable, I’m worthy, I’m enough…
To summarize…
Consider this, my friend…
If you really want something, if it makes you happy, if you feel it from within, you should give it your best try. Doesn’t matter what happened in the past. Doesn’t matter how many times you’ve failed. You should rise up again.
The only one who has a real power of putting you down is you, yourself.
And I know deep inside, you know that. As I know it.
My story is what I think it is. And I choose to exercise this precious gift of the free will and keep the good, helpful, victorious memories. Faces, situations, images, music that lifts me up…
And that is what I prefer to share with my friends and family.
As a result, my beautiful story continues almost magically. Inspiring people, giving them hope.
And the crazy part is…
Your story can be the same, too. If you just let it be.
It’s time to wrap up now…
I promise you, my friends, there is some deep message here. If you only have a glimpse of what I’m trying to say, your life will transform most gracefully.
That’s all from me for now,
Speak to you soon,
With love,
Dimmi
