I am highly sensitive.
Punch me and I bleed.
Hey there friends,
Welcome.
My name is Anthony V.
Lombardo.
Thanks for hitting play today.
Not only on this audio track,
But for hitting play on your life today.
Or taking part in this beautiful mystery and adventure known as being a human.
I hope I can offer you some wisdom and inspiration as you go about your day.
And hopefully help you live a more conscious and meaningful existence.
And if I go back to my opening statement.
If you're someone who considers yourself a highly sensitive person or have been told by others that you're highly sensitive.
This message is particularly for you today.
When I was a kid,
Others would often say to me,
Whether it was friends,
Classmates,
Teachers,
Even family members.
They would tell me,
Stop being so sensitive.
Or they would refer to me as,
Oh he's a sensitive one.
And for a long time,
I saw this as a major weakness and believed something was wrong with me.
I mean,
Right,
Who can blame me?
Being a quote unquote sensitive one has its challenges.
For one,
It probably means you give too much stock into what people think or say about you.
It also means you probably really feel your feelings.
You're likely highly aware of yourself,
Of others,
Of their feelings,
And of your surroundings.
This can often lead to unnecessary concerns and worries.
But being a quote unquote sensitive one also means you're a deep thinker and thoughtful.
It likely means you see things that other people miss.
This can make you better in your work,
At your job,
In your business.
High sensitivity actually breeds high creativity.
It means not only do you create from your soul,
You operate from your soul.
You take the time to absorb and process,
Rather than rushing to a decision.
Chances are,
You see the world differently.
And by extension,
You express yourself differently.
So while being sensitive can be a challenge,
It is also a superpower.
It can be the secret to your success,
To what you're able to manifest and create.
It could be the strength to your relationships.
In fact,
Being sensitive brings us back to our humanity.
It means being merciful,
Compassionate,
And strong.
It means caring about other people.
It means thinking before you speak.
It means you take the time to smell the flowers and listen to the birds chirp.
Sensitivity,
Dare I say,
Is actually an expression of divinity itself.
It is what causes us to become too enamored and distracted by beauty,
Yet too conscious of pain and suffering.
So my message to you is,
To be a sensitive one,
Simply means to be captivated by the wonder of existence itself and all that it entails.
So the next time someone says you're being too sensitive,
Or tells you to stop being so sensitive,
I say take it as a badge of honor.
Cheers to you sensitive ones out there.
The world indeed needs more people like you,
With your superpower.
And I for one,
Personally,
Would love to hear from you.
Send me a note in the comments.
Thanks for listening.
Have a wonderful,
Beautiful,
Highly conscious,
And what the hell,
Highly sensitive day.
Much love.
