One daily action, one shared idea, one heartfelt conversation, one small gesture, one beautiful reflection – it all counts. An active force for good only requires your presence, aliveness, voice, encouraging words, laughter, attention, self-acceptance, knowing who you are and what you stand for, tender heart, smile and flexible mind. It's all so simple and so potent.
Why does it matter?
Many circumstances will test your character. If you walk the planet with the thought “I am not good enough” this adds to the revolving door of destruction, separation, chaos, comparison and challenges without resolve.
Allow yourself to feel good enough to make a lasting difference.
How?
Move out of your way.
Don’t allow others to step in your way.
Step aside from others' way.
Shift your mindset from – I am not enough – to curiosity about the root cause. Focus on becoming part of the solution and not adding to the problem.
Imagine rising to the occasion of feeling great about being you and the actions taken to play your part in any circumstance.
This would entail letting go of the fear of “I am not enough”.
What do you stand for?
Here are some examples of sneaky ways in which “I am not enough” shows up.
Notice the expectations set for yourself.
Expecting others to perform to your standards.
Living vicariously through others.
Fear of failure.
Restricting basic human rights of another.
Do not allow others to be who they are.
Lack of integrity.
Take zero accountability in circumstances.
Comparing, competing and minimising the value of others.
Bulldoze others to achieve outcomes.
All things great and generative start and end with radical self-acceptance at the deepest level.
Become part of the solution to living in ways that outpour far and beyond as a potent force for good. Stand up and show up for what you stand for, as a human being.
Start here
Think about the ripple effect near and far just by living into the example of truly feeling great about being you.
To be seen, and heard, to take up space, stand up for your values. This makes you a potent force for good.
Every thought, intention and action can make a beautiful impact or cause destruction.
Be an active contributor by shaping the world for the greater good. This includes your internal world, your world at home, your world in the workplace, your world in the wider community, your world on commute, your world out in nature and so on.
Behind the scenes without the accolades, no payment in return, no validation, no promotion for your brand, no comparison, no competition and without anyone watching. It takes radical self-acceptance and considered action to make a difference in a meaningful way.
Life is reciprocal. This is the universal law for living.
For the love of it
You are uniquely created as the essential piece that completes the grand puzzle. Recognise this fact and it removes the pressure to outperform for the wrong reasons, compare, compete and diminish others.
We search high and low for ways to contribute to our daily lives. Pilgrimage to India for enlightenment and charity work, enrolling in 101 courses, conferences and addressing global policy change to make an impact.
It requires less searching and consumption. Start exactly where you are.
Begin to live as an example. This will encourage others to become a force for good and the energy spreads wide and becomes contiguous.
All that is needed is the purest intention aligned with one small daily action.
