Are you showing up from a place of fear or a place of trust?
That is one of the underlying biggest questions for everything I do in life.
Bringing awareness to what is the place from where I show up,
From where I speak,
From where I reach out,
From where I am of service for the things I do.
And it doesn't even maybe change what you do.
If you are a different being,
You hold a different energy,
A different frequency,
And you will notice that the outcome is different from showing up from fear,
Lack,
Rather than joy,
Abundance,
Trust.
Of course it requires you to be thoughtful.
And thoughtful is actually quite a nice word I think to describe this,
Because it is about awareness.
It is not about overthinking.
It is about stopping yourself and tuning into yourself.
What do you do?
What is your inner motivation?
Are you giving yourself a voice and you are just shouting because you fear that no one will hear you,
Or the opposite,
Giving yourself a voice because you feel that you are worth being heard,
That you have something to bring in.
Are you out of fear not giving yourself a voice,
Not giving that valuable remark in a meeting for example?
Are you not giving yourself a voice because you are afraid to be seen,
Judged?
Are you going out of your comfort zone with giving yourself a voice but still feel that this is the way you should do it,
From a place,
Bringing something into the world from a place where you feel that you can contribute,
Either for yourself or for the people you love,
Or for your colleagues or for your society?
That is something which is for me,
That was one big turning point in my life.
Looking back,
I didn't have the awareness,
Let's start with that to be very clear.
I didn't have the awareness to start seeing from which place I acted,
I spoke.
And once I went through my rollercoaster in life,
When I really started,
When I really hit rock bottom,
And I was getting depressed,
That was all in the time when everything came together,
My big turning point in my life was when I met my half-brother.
I was a rational scientist,
A very rational scientist,
And he showed me that there are different ways of looking at life.
That life is not necessarily hard,
That there are different ways than just being in your head and working many hours,
Being only stressed.
And from that rollercoaster,
Everything started,
Or that meeting everything started to become a rollercoaster when I started looking at different perspectives of life.
And that had a huge effect on my everything,
My job,
My relationships with my partner,
But also with friends.
I got a big argument with someone at work,
And at some point it was all so much that I noticed that I was putting my faith in other people.
And I felt like,
If I keep on doing this,
I will never be in charge of my own life.
Then other people determine whether I'm happy or not.
And when I realized that,
I realized I would never be afraid anymore.
If I felt fear,
It was time to face it.
And that has been my motto now,
Since,
So that's already now 5 years,
6 years.
Do I come from a place of fear?
When I feel fear in my body,
I know it's not the energy I want to live in.
I don't want to live in fear,
For whatever it is.
So I always stop myself to start feeling what is going on.
Where am I afraid of?
Is this a realistic fear,
Which is basically never it,
Because there's never physically threatening me?
How can I move through this fear and show up from a different place?
Things don't change immediately,
But you start showing up for yourself.
Because you know,
You feel that is not the way you want to live anymore.
And from then on,
I started experimenting on how can I show up and come from trust,
Come from abundance.
What would I do then?
How would I behave?
What would I tell?
And then it becomes an interesting journey,
I can guarantee you that.
But it brings so much,
Because you can change your reality very fast.
And you bring in the positive,
You draw in the positive,
You draw in the changes,
Bringing the person you want to be closer together.
So that is something I want to encourage you today.
If you do something,
Stop for a second or reflect afterwards and start seeing,
Are you showing up from fear,
Which is often the case.
If you have for example,
Feel anger or jealousy,
Where do you show up from trust and still you can do exactly the same.
