Title: A Glimpse Of Your True Nature...
| ;) |
I believe that every moment of existence holds within it,
somewhere, a key to your true nature. So as you read this
article, do so as if this could be your key, and let’s see
which doors it opens within you.
There is a simple fact of nature that I would like you to
consider – YOU ARE ALREADY PERFECT!
All of nature, or existence, or reality, or whatever you prefer
to call it, is already perfect.
There is nothing outside of you that you need to find to
complete you. You are already complete.
There is nothing you need to achieve. There is nothing you need
to get, do or become. Everything you need to “be you” is already
within you. You are perfect, as is all other creation.
A rock is a rock. It doesn’t try to be anything other than
itself. It does not look elsewhere for its identity. It just
is, and it’s perfect.
A tree does not try to be something it’s not. It’s a tree. And
it spends its time just being. Without struggle, it is what it
is- perfect.
I have a cat named Schrody. Now Schrody lives an incredibly
free life, because he simply is who he is. He spends his time
just being Schrody. And he does it perfectly.
There is not one example in nature, living or non-living, which
is not already perfect. Including YOU! You are perfect right
now- exactly how you are meant to be.
If you were meant to be something or someone else, then you
would be.
If you were meant to have something else, then you would have
it.
If you were meant to achieve something, then you would have
achieved it.
You are already perfect, just as you are.
So why don’t you feel perfect? Why are you not happy? Why are
you looking outside of yourself for that something else which
will complete you?
Perhaps because you falsely believe you should be something
else? Something other than what you truly are. You are refusing
to accept reality. You fight what is, and that’s a fight you can
never win. You believe you should be richer. Or have a better
job. Or a different relationship.
These things are just your external environment. And if you
wish to change them, you can certainly do it. The circumstances
you live with now are a result of your choices so far, and you
can create a new life for the future by choosing to make
changes in your life, and taking appropriate action.
If that is your desire, you can change your finances. You can
change your career. You can improve your relationships. And
making these changes will certainly make your life different.
However, they cannot make YOU better. It’s impossible to
improve on perfection.
Personal development and growth does not improve you. It simply
expands your awareness of the truth- that you are already
perfect.
Until you recognize this fact, you will continue in your
suffering. Happiness cannot be found outside you. Happiness
comes from within, when you give up the illusion, and just love
yourself unconditionally.
So! How about no more thinking, “I should be this…”, or “I
should have that.” How about thinking, “I am exactly who I am,
and no-one could do a more perfect job at it than me.”
Be happy being who you are.
