The reason we chase things that we don't really create a specific feeling around,
Like often we want to have a career,
We want to have a certain job,
We want to have like retirement,
We want to have a stable relationship,
We want to be in a good area to live.
And why do we do that?
It's because we want to feel safe.
Like we believe that retirement funds give us safety,
That buying a house gives us safety,
That having a stable job,
Good income will give us safety,
Money will give us safety,
A partner in a relationship will give us safety.
But why do we want that?
Because we inherently don't feel safe.
And you know what?
The truth is none of these things will give us the safety we desire.
So we keep chasing and chasing and chasing because we are programmed to look for safety in the things outside of us.
But the truth is we cannot find it outside,
We can only find it inside.
And once we do,
We can really call in how we want to feel.
Once this base of safety is there,
Our dharma,
Our life purpose can come and flourish.
Because we allow ourselves to go there,
To prioritize that versus just trying to feel safe through something outside of us.
Once we feel safe,
We are more able to drop into our soul,
Into what our soul wants.
Because we can trust that even if whatever it wants is scary,
Big,
We might fail,
People might think we're crazy or it's wrong.
We know we are still safe,
We will still be alive.
And yeah,
So we can really feel what kind of feeling do we want,
What impact do we want,
What kind of people do we want to surround ourselves with,
How do we want to create,
What do we want to create.
Because we can finally feel safe enough to do so.
So the prerequisite for changing your life,
For being who you came here to do,
Is to learn to feel safe no matter what.
And that means to have a regulated nervous system.
Because feeling unsafe is programmed into the body,
Into the nervous system.
It gets imprinted there very early on in childhood.
Something totally mundane can happen and our system believes we're not safe.
And life will just keep bringing us circumstances where we don't feel safe yet.
And we get more and more imprints.
And only once we start to release them,
Are we able to create a safety within.
And then are we able to program something else in there.
