What is right about you that you’re not getting? Read that again. Not what’s wrong. Not what needs fixing. Not what’s broken. What. Is. Right. About. You?
It’s one of the most powerful questions I’ve ever learned to ask. And if you’re anything like me, it may also be one of the hardest to take in. We’ve been trained to only look for what is wrong and needs fixing.
We’ve been taught to believe that we need to be constantly improving, constantly bettering ourselves, constantly correcting the parts that don’t quite “measure up.” But what if the very act of trying to fix yourself is the thing that’s keeping you from truly living?
What if there’s nothing wrong with you?
What if happiness is your birthright, not something to chase, earn, or deserve, but something that arises when you stop judging yourself and start enjoying the being you already are?
If you’re intrigued, come and read more about it in an article I wrote recently for Brainz Magazine.
All of this (and more!) is what International Being You Day is all about. Celebrated annually on June 22nd, it’s not about a formula or a path to enlightenment. It’s about permitting yourself to be, without apology, without armor, without the performance.
What is right about you that you’re not getting?
