You can walk into a room as if the devil sent you, with your coterie of inner demons in tow, a sack of ailments, miseries and grievances, a broken record of blame and victimhood, a fearful scarecrow with the purpose of creating fear, or you can walk into the same room as if God sent you.           Sometimes as a messenger, to meet someone and say that one sentence to them that will make them shift and change their lives. Sometimes as a saviour, God-sent if you may, to help someone hang on to the last thread of hope. Sometimes as a cheerleader, to egg someone on to fight through her battles and find her light. Sometimes as a harbinger of a subtle message that allows someone to break out of the patterns and heal themselves. Sometimes as a co-creator of a new reality that will change the way the new generation lives, communicates and heals. Sometimes as a gift in people’s lives so that they can see themselves in a far bigger avatar than they have given themselves permission to be. Sometimes as the actor who takes centerstage, enthralls the audience and inspires them to take up arms against their inner demons and oppressors. Sometimes as the man in the corner whose smile just lifts people's spirits. Sometimes as the person who serves unconditionally because he does not know any better.           Always as a child of the universe.           Not as a stepchild whom you believe has been overlooked when fate was written but as one of its eight billion unique children created by the creator himself, and a co-creator of the universe.           Walk into the room as if you are as entitled as anyone else. As entitled to find your purpose and honour it as anyone else. As deserving of the love, light and guidance of the universe as everyone else. As privileged as anyone wanting a bigger, better, bolder, more creative life - of unfathomable joy. As rightfully a child of God as anyone else.           Walk into the room as the universe created you; in your authenticity, where the only language you speak and understand is love, where you are free of everything and fearless to live your life, the way you are meant to.                 Overthinking is not self-awareness.                     Self-awareness is not overthinking a diet plan and knowing what food suits you best. It's knowing why you have a certain relationship with food in the first place.           Self-awareness is about development. Overthinking is about protection.           Self-awareness is about feeling. Overthinking is about predicting.           Self-awareness is asking questions and seeking answers. Overthinking is seeing the answers one wants to see and seeking the right questions to get there.           Self-awareness is about seeing your patterns so you can start choosing the life you want instead of allowing it to run on auto-pilot. Overthinking is evaluating the pros and cons of the auto-pilot life but not making a choice to change the patterns.           Self-awareness requires conversations with the self. Overthinking is allowing loud chatter inside the head hoping for answers.           Self-awareness is living outside your head. Overthinking is living inside it.           Self-awareness is a pilgrimage. Overthinking is many short sprints.           Self-awareness comes from self-love. Overthinking is covert self-loathing.           Self-awareness takes time. Overthinking wastes time.           Self-awareness is surrendering to the process and allowing the results to reveal itself. Overthinking is controlling the process and the outcome but convincing yourself otherwise.           Self-awareness is about wanting to make a change in yourself. Overthinking is seeing what's wrong with the world and finding ways to change its perceptions about you.           Self-awareness is surrender. Overthinking is a strategy.           Self-awareness is a healing response. Overthinking is a trauma reaction.           Self-awareness is changing from the inside-out. Overthinking is trying to make a change from the outside-in.           Self-awareness is no analysis, just unquestionable acceptance. Overthinking is a SWOT analysis and self-approval, not self-acceptance.           Self-awareness is pressing the Enter key. Overthinking is pressing the Escape button.           Self-awareness is awareness - the knowing. Overthinking is thinking - the wanting.             Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Sold Out 2nd to 8th June     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
