#27 Steps to Embrace Yourself!!

Fear and Shame

Two major reasons we do or do not do anything- The Root Cause.

Fear comes into play when you have something to protect or hide. This vulnerability, if exposed, has the potential to hurt you.

But what if you didn’t hide anything? Revealing your vulnerabilities shows that you believe they’re worth being seen. It’s about taking pride in accepting your insecurities. Acceptance is challenging but it acknowledges your human duality – you are both flawed and beautiful, making you whole and complete.

Shame arises when you feel it’s wrong to experience a certain emotion. This feeling often stems from someone in your past indicating, through words or actions, that it’s shameful to feel this way. This can make you feel weak or socially unfit.

WE often ponder why darkness exists. Darkness is simply the absence of light, just as evil is the absence of good. Both light and shadow make up the greater good. Understanding this brings humility, leading to acceptance of your insecurities and your humanity. This acceptance makes you beautifully complete.

The greater good does not care about your personal insecurities, losses and gains or how they affect you. It cares about what use your light and shadow is to benefit the greater good. You are not the ultimate. You are the vehicle.

This understanding will fill you with humility. Humility that will lead you to acceptance of your insecurities, your human-ness and soon bring you to a point where you will be able to secretly rejoice at the fact that you have light and shadow both in you. You are beautifully complete.

When you accept yourself, shame and fear disappear. You no longer feel the need to hide. With nothing to hide, fear loses its power over you. We are all fundamentally similar, and recognizing this turns shame and fear into humility and grace.

Acceptance means the absence of shame and fear. You do not feel the need to hide. What happens when you have nothing to hide? All your fears lose their hold on you. No force on earth can trigger something out of you that doesn’t exist.

We all are the same. The core nature of human beings is similar.

The moment you allow that to sink in, your shame and fear turns into humility and grace.

These are your 2 next steps: -

1. Notice your triggers. Explore them. Try to get to the root. If a quality in someone else triggers you, high chances you haven’t accepted that quality in yourself.
2. Be more open about your insecurities. Write, talk, express. Run with them, play with them. High chances someone else feels the same way as you do.

Now go, conquer the world!!
