Secret life thought me

The real secret is that
there is no secret. Or – there are many secrets, perhaps infinitely many…whichever way you want to look at it.

Everyone comes to know the truth for themselves, through a series of experiences that guide them to a certain knowing-ness that even the most savvy gurus struggle to teach.

That’s why the more conscious and self-aware you are, the harder it can be to “fit in” among mainstream society.

But this is both a curse and a blessing.

On one hand, it means that most of the advice you receive will lack the depth you seek.

On the other hand, it frees you up to do the only thing that actually produces the results you want…

…figuring it out for yourself.

This doesn’t mean you should ignore everything people have to say. It means you should try to understand what they say on an underlying level.

Try to feel the energy behind what people are trying to express.

Then, notice if there is resonance in your body (i.e. if it “rings” true for you).

Your body is an important tool for deriving truth.

“Follow your heart.”

“Trust your gut.”

These are phrases that attempt to describe a knowing-ness that extends beyond the brain.

What is true for someone else may not be what’s true for you.

But you can have a better shot at figuring things out if you focus on what aspects of that “truth” resonate with you and which ones don’t.

The notion of “hard work” for one person may be exciting and driven by confidence, thus energizing all of their efforts.

“Hard work” for another person may make them feel drained, exhausted, or stressed out.

Which of these two people do you think will be more effective in their efforts?

The answer might seem obvious at first, but I encourage you to not be hasty in your conclusions.

For me, I tend to get results based on my state of being. That’s just what I’ve noticed.

Maybe it’s true for you, too.

Just think about it...
