Journal Prose Chronicles: If Self-prioritization Were A Prescription…
In context, it’d probably sit and stay at the bottom of the bag
Entries from my journal are only shared with my closest of friends, so beginning this series was not a decision taken lightly. Concentrations of my anguish, toil, love, ecstasy, and more exist between these pages.
Why share them now, you ask?
It is because as Etienne de Grellet stated in one of my favorite quotes:
“I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
***
Prioritization of the self is a completely different frequency
than being self-absorbed.
Or being selfish. Narcissistic. Conceited. Etc., etc.
All the terms and labels that spook us into maintaining unhealthy patterns of behavior.
Damn, people.
Why?
Why are many members of our species too easily coerced? Controlled? Constrained.
To get super-clear on the concepts and the dividing line between them is essential in a world that blurs them as a standard M.O.
That word.
“World.”
And the cycle repeats…cuz the world and the planet have separate unequal blurred lines...leaving you unable to see where to go and where to be.
Today’s world has lots of “Go, go, go” since “Being” empowers the “One.” Each one. And when over 8 billion “Ones” decide that being is where their peace and power is…the world (as we know it)…will end. The planet will continue.
But all this agenda designed to take the “You” out of you.
Well, when authorities see something that works…
Old and largely successful tactics, up until levels get breached.
Life continues to traverse time and we only get one.
So, you re-center.
Make the necessary adjustments.
Inhale passion with d e e p e s t breaths
and exhale all that does not serve your highest good.
Get MEGA high off that stuff.
Wanna have a never-ending supply.
Thus, you unplug.
Leave the texts and emails.
Look at yourself and fill up with heartfelt gratitude. Soften. Allow yourself a minute more. Then another. Figure that your value far exceeds your sensory awareness, and you yearn to spend the rest of life searching and being genuinely surprised at each self-discovery.
You are full of answers.
And light that travels from the infinite.
And you don’t wanna miss a thing.
So, you smile at yourself in a new way.
Honor every part of you.
Even the parts you wish you could change.
You respect process.
Love ALL of you whether anyone else does or not because you are a priority, a highly resonant frequency of truth,
and have always been.
I truly appreciate that you took the time to read my journal entry. Kindest of thanks!
