The whole cannot be whole until everything is involved.
In order to love who you are, you can’t hate the experiences that shaped you
- Andrea Dykstra
One of the best lessons that I have learnt is that for everything and every experience we are either teaching or learning. The faster we get clear on which one is happening, the easier it becomes to navigate through this life of ours.
Acknowledgement and acceptance are two extremely important factors which help us gain that clarity.
As Iyanla Vanzant says "we have to call a thing a thing" so if we call a pig a bird and feed it bird food, the pig may either die or lose weight, it will not become a bird.
And so we have to face all the parts of us in moving forward, we not like it, we may not love it, facing it does not mean that we must. It is part of the ingredients that make us who we are, the flavour, the juice.
The whole cannot be whole until everything is involved.
Your experiences is not who you are. Your thoughts are not who you are. They play a part in determining how your life plays out but do not for one moment think that this is who you are
You get to define that
That job is between you and the Universe
Peace
