It’s Not The “Thing” That You Want

It’s not the “thing” that you want…

It’s the feeling that you think the “thing” will give you…

That’s what you ACTUALLY want.

This goes for money, relationships, achievements, aesthetics, and everything else.

▪️We think we want money, but we really want the feeling of security & freedom of choice that money can bring.

▪️We think we want a partner, but really we want the feeling of love, security, belonging & connection.

▪️We think we want the promotion or the title, but what we really want is the sense of fulfillment that comes with using our gifts. We want the feeling of purpose.

▪️We think we want 6-pack abs, but what we really want is to feel comfortable in our own skin.

The reality is all of these feelings can be achieved without obtaining the outcome.

✨We can choose to look at what we DO have, instead of what we lack, and feel abundant. We can choose to have faith that our needs will be met if we continue to take action. We can choose to NOT keep up with the Joneses, and find our happiness in freedom from ego.

✨We can choose to BE love, as opposed to seeking love outside of ourselves… because that’s not where love is. When we fall in love, the love that we feel is OURS… we can feel that with or without a partner. We can connect with our Self, God & others in infinite ways. We can choose authenticity over fitting in… which creates belongingness within us, because when we choose our authentic Self, it doesn’t matter if others choose us or not… we are un-fuck-with-able.

✨We can choose to use our gifts, regardless of our titles. We can focus our attention outward & making the world better, instead of focusing inward to prove that we’re better because of some made-up status.

✨We can choose to treat our bodies well, regardless of how we look. We can be accepting of all of our parts, instead of trying to change ourselves… and with that acceptance comes the feeling of comfort & confidence we seek because we’ll finally feel whole.

There is nothing & no one outside of ourselves that can give us the feelings we seek… WE are the ones that allow ourselves to feel a certain way or not…

It’s not the “thing”.

It’s the feeling.

Give yourself permission to feel it. Now.

That is the power you’re chasing… just like Dorothy & her ruby red slippers… you’ve had the power all along.✨

XO,

Stacie
