What if Being You is Enough?

Often we can get caught always trying to be and do more.  We don't get to receive who and what we're being now because we're too busy devising a plan or a strategy to be better or achieve greater or manage what's here.  What if being you is enough?  Often, in a desire to fix, change or heal ourselves or others we start imitating other people.  We mimic who they are or what they're doing, we try to repeat what they say, or figure out why they are seemingly better off than we are.  We try to take control of our lives or help other people in the ways we think is right.  We go in with agendas.  We devise a plan and go to work to make it happen, or we sit back and watch, or we put our hands up and give up or we fight to change things with force, work and effort.  What is beyond all of this?  What if being you is enough?

With a need or necessity to fix, change and heal and with the desire to be better we miss the very moment where change is truly possible.  Where we are, here and now, is where we can be resourced.  When we breathe and acknowledge who we are and where we are new possibilities become available.  When we acknowledge ourselves here and now our capacity to receive expands.  When we choose to lower our barriers to this moment we can be receptive to having awareness we we're previously cut off from.  We can invite all that we are to be here.  The more resourced we are the easier it is to respond to what is showing up in our lives now.  Instead of rejecting this and jumping ahead, or separating from now to lament what should have been or what we've decided can never be, we can breathe and receive the gift of being and truly know what that is.  What if being you is enough?
