I’ve had a great few days…
not sure where they started, but I trust they will continue.
I was part of a creative planning session at a place called “Movement Lab”. I will write more about that soon….
but, at the end of a very special and productive morning, the facilitator asked us to write a letter to ourselves
from our spiritual self..
.From the exercise that morning, I realized that my emotional self and my intellectual self - they talk a lot.
But, my spiritual self…. I don’t go there very often. I feel my spiritual self present in the background… but he can seldom get a word in…
Which I think is why I love to write,
because I think when I start writing my spiritual self shows up…
I really do…
Anyway, I encourage you to do the same… today, stop here… before reading my letter below, take a few minutes and write yourself a letter from your spiritual self. Don’t THINK about it… just let the pen flow… let your soul speak. Try spending a few minutes in silence - then pick up the pen and write, don’t let the pen stop until you see yourself signing your name…
Let your spiritual self speak…
Here is the letter I wrote in literally 2 minutes … My hand just flowed… It made me smile…
My spiritual self is a pretty cool dude. I need to spend more time with him. it’s my intellectual self that can be such a pain in —-. Between him and my emotional side, I can’t get a word in edgewise.
So, here it went…
Nestor:
I am always here...
I am always with you.
You need me,
And I need you.
I am the answer to all of your questions.
I am the end to all of your beginnings.
I am the secret you are seeking,
And the answer you are looking for...
You are not only enough -
You are a gift and plentiful.
Don’t strive for perfection.
Strive for connection!
Don’t strive for the answers.
Just keep asking the right questions,
And sit with them -
And feel life happen…
What do you look for,
When nothing is missing?
You don’t need to search so hard.
You need to
celebrate the moment,
Live the moment,
Feel the moment.
Don’t try to give the perfect solution to the world,
Just share your process of problem solving -
That is the solution onto itself!
Life is so very short,
And so very beautiful.
You are already who you want to be...
And, you can continue to become a better version of him.
Don’t stop seeking,
But channel that energy into gratitude...
Channel the seeking into acceptance,
Into love,
Into joy!
The only thing holding you back from being free,
Are your own expectations of “better”...
Better keeps happening!
Accept that -
And it will even accelerate...
You are growing, it’s who you are...
You don’t need to become a learning soul -
You already are...
There is no one left to impress, but you...
And impressing anyone, including yourself, is EGO -
So STOP it! You are blessed!
Just BE...
Be humble,
Be curious,
Be relentless,
Be gracious,
Be joyful,
Be caring and candid,
Be loving and open,
Be vulnerable and present,
Be rational,
Be funny,
Be you...
Just BE...
I am here -
I am you...
A part of you
That you most often ignore -
Take for granted.
But I am here...
Here I will remain...
Here I admire.
Here I inspire...
…YOU!
In harmony,
Nestor
