During my journey of discovering my own personal potential, I would often think about the people I had perceived to have kept me down. I thought of the people I bump heads with. I know now that this is all about me, they don’t know what feelings / energy they were bringing up within me. In reality they weren’t trying to keep me down, really who would consciously do such a thing?
One morning while I was doing my “Igniting the Self” training session I woke up very early and wrote down the title to this article. Once again there is an invitation right here, demanding my attention.
As I let this notion sit with me “Beneath the Bull and Bravado is Brilliance”, I allowed my attention to shift to the potential I know I have. If I have all of this potential, and I know there is more out there in my future… why am I holding others to being less. Just because in the past I held a belief that it was their actions or statements that kept me small. Who am I to sit in judgment, as I myself had at one time felt judged?
It struck me… The very people I bumped up against, are just as full of potential as I am. They can each claim their brilliance that is within them, as we all have it just waiting to be tapped into. Perhaps their need to try to put us down or scoff at our actions is something within them screaming to be recognized? How can we, knowing what we know now, not recognize this magnificent within them?
So yes, the bullshit & bravado people convey is more than likely a front or a strategy. It is an invitation to them to recognize it on their own and claim the message for themselves. Beneath of all that façade is the Brilliance that we all have.
What other people think of me is not about me, this is the same truth we can each claim, and we just have to choose to claim it.
As each of us go through our own journeys in life, remember that there is so much more out there for all of us, never limit yourself to being less than. We each have it in us.
