I have been writing a personal account of my life a long time now. I wasn’t exactly sure of why I had been doing this, but in doing so, I found some patterns that have repeated themselves over the years.
I was the one in my family who took care of everything, and the one they look to deal with stressful situations when no one else will. While this includes some people pleasing, it also some includes things no one else would do and needed to be done.
On the other hand, I also come across areas of success when I was able to move past the incessant doing. Seeing this opened my mind to things that I didn't expect. It became a time of forgiveness for me, and others that I allowed to hurt me. I found that letting go of the past is the sure path to empowerment and presence of the moment.
Seeing success has also been a part of my pattern, assures me that I can repeat this as well. As I try to step up and stop sabotaging my efforts of being the one, it has been encouraging to understand that I have pushed through before. The exercise helped me trust in myself more. I can see the pattern of confidence and trust when I was doing the right things, and a similar pattern of insecurity when I allowed myself to be swayed by others.
Understanding this has empowered me in ways I did not expect. When doing what's right for me rather than what I feel others expect from me, my level of trust increases. This is where the power to create, and serve others begins.
Writing my old story and understanding the past, has shown me how easy it is to create a new story for the future. With clarity and presence, your future can be deliberately designed exactly how you dream it.
