I wish I could tell you I got my body to this point by working out hard or sticking to a diet or counting macros or following a program.
I wish I could tell you it was that easy.
Because honestly, I’m quite proud of what I see in the mirror.
Call me vain, but…
you would be right hahah.
I am vain.
That’s besides the point.
But really, liking what is reflected to me, liking and LOVING the skin I’m dressed in is pretty important to me.
It’s one of my desires in life – to look good, hot even, sexy, dare I say?!
It’s always been the case.
But I’ve not always actually liked what I saw.
I’ve not always like how I felt in my body.
So, of COURSE, the very natural next course of action was to do all the things.
ALLLLL the things.
Getting that gym membership,
downloading a new diet plan,
following every hot ripped God-have-mercy-on-us fitness model and trainer on IG,
trying out any and all new products, pills, elixirs that promise me the svelteness I felt like I fucking DESERVE.
But goddamnit, WHY
DID
I
NEVER
LIKE
WHAT
I
SAW
IN
THE
FREAKING
MIRROR?!?!!?
I was DOING the things,
or at least TRYING to,
and TRYING meant SOMEthing right?!!?!
RIGHT?!!??!
So sad.
It’s like the caterpillar trying to fly before it became the butterfly.
It can ONLY FAIL.
The sad part is not that it can’t fly before coming a butterfly,
the sad part is it thinks it needs to DO something to HAVE something before it actually believes it can BE it.
Because there’s a massive misalignment there – do you follow?
The chasm between the state of the caterpillar and the butterfly is not the actual form itself i.e. the difference in shape, capability, etc.
The chasm is the BELIEF that there is a chasm,
and that the chasm NEEDS TO BE CLOSED.
So let’s drop the insect analogy – I’ve had quite enough for now lol – and take it back to me and my body.
Like I said, I wish I could tell you my 31-year old body was achieved through sweat, blood, tears, hard work, more sweat, some more blood, and definitely a bucket more of tears.
I wish I could tell you it was that easy.
That all I had to do was stick to a plan.
But I have to tell you the truth.
It’s what I’m here to do.
It’s really the only thing I came here to do, like, for my entire life.
It’s to tell you –
YOU. ARE. MORE. THAN. THE. PHYSICAL. BODY. YOU. SEE. IN. THE. MIRROR.
You are not here to TRY, YEARN, DESPAIR, COVET, ENVY what you think you do not have, what you think you are not.
You are not here to beg for scraps.
You are not here to live in the gap of your desires.
It’s really not even about “manifesting” things.
There’s a lot of emphasis on manifestation, bringing in abundance, the greens, the soulmate love, etc. in the spiritual community, because of COURSE we want to have the things we desire, do all the things we want, when we want, etc.
There’s nothing wrong with it,
just like there’s nothing wrong with the caterpillar wanting to fly.
Dang, I’m back with the caterpillar lol.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to manifest.
But I’m speaking to a different breed of humans.
Humans that desire, CRAVE, ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT BACK DOWN from their true nature.
As in, their god-ness,
their limitlessness,
their infinite-ness,
their eternal-ness.
Humans that feel a deeper calling than to just to have the things, do the things, etc.
Humans that get that the path to their true joy, bliss, completion is in the BECOMING,
the INTEGRATING,
the EMBODYING.
Humans that get that in the BECOMING IS EVERYTHING they’re wanting to create.
Even in manifestation literature, the key to quick manifestation is to IMAGINE that you ARE the person that has it all.
But what I’m saying is deeper than that.
It’s embracing the understanding that everything we desire, whether conscious or subconscious, is ALREADY HELD WITHIN THE GOD-NESS WITHIN US.
Do you see how if you were to EMBODY the god, the creator, the pure ecstatic love within us,
creating the life you desire, attracting all the things you want IS A GIVEN?!?!
Do you get me?!?!!?
This is why some people who have once created magnificent things in their lives come back around to seminars and conferences and courses because what they did to create the magnificent thing was DO A PROCESS.
But what we are TRULY called to do is BECOME THE DAMN THING THAT CREATES EVERYTHING AROUND US.
We are TRULY called to EMBODY the universe, because we ARE the universe, the universe IS us.
There is no separation.
Except the belief that we are separate from god, universe, spirit, source, whatever.
When you are fully embodied in your god-ness, in THE god-ness, your surroundings will change,
they HAVE TO CHANGE,
because YOU HAVE NOW ACCEPTED, AGREED WITH, BECOME THE VERY THING THAT CREATES THE SURROUNDINGS.
And when you live from that place, your simple intention is everything.
You don’t need a fucking process to DO WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO DO.
The process is practice, yes.
But see, the REAL practice, is the art of embodiment,
the everyday micro-evolution of choosing you,
of tapping in, dropping into the depths of YOU,
of listening, beholding your beautiful soul,
of connecting with the love and joy and peace that you are.
THAT is the practice.
The rest follows.
It can’t not.
This is real.
I’ve done it.
It’s why I say, the body I see in the mirror is birthed from love and joy and pure embodiment.
I haven’t worked out hard in the last few weeks.
I haven’t run more than 3 miles in the last month.
I don’t follow a diet.
I do eat pretty healthy lately, but that’s because I want to – see?!
See how because I’m embodied in the fullness of who I am, which is essentially WELL-BEING AND VIBRANT HEALTH, even what I WANT TO EAT has transformed.
(There may or may not have been a time when eating salad was sacrilegious.)
I’ve learned to live from WITHIN,
to listen WITHIN,
to TRUST WITHIN,
to BREATHE WITH THE DIVINE.
And I’ve watched my ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE evolve to MATCH MY GOD-NESS.
And that INCLUDES my vanity hahaha.
God certainly does care about all the things that matter to us.
And God certainly does like us to be healthy and proud of our bodies.
So anyway.
I say ALLLL OF THIS,
all 1118 words so far,
to say,
stop fucking around.
Stop looking outward for the truth,
for the way,
for the path.
There is no such thing.
I mean, you can work hard, and it can possibly yield the results,
but your soul will still be craving… something.
Your soul is craving your attention,
your love,
your intention.
Your soul wants a relationship with you.
The beautiful thing about life is that you get to choose.
Everyone’s soul wants a relationship, a living breathing flow of life,
but not everyone listens.
And that’s fine.
Everyone has their own path, journey, etc.
If you KNOW this is you,
if you get what I’m saying in the tiniest littlest bit,
and this is something you want to investigate, dissect, dive into, connect with me.
Join me in the journey into you, your core, your purpose,
uncover your genius,
remember your joy, your love,
BECOME what you already are within,
EMBODY that shit and watch the world RESPOND TO YOU.
