What If It Means Nothing About You!
Prashha Dutra
I help STEM Women go from $100k+to $200k+ jobs in the next 90-180 days through my Believe In Your Brilliance(TM) framework.
It means nothing about you!
When my business coach said these words, she flipped my perspective on its head. Never in my life have any words had this big of an impact as these five words.
In the process of up-leveling my life in the last few years, I’ve been going about many things the wrong way.?
This sentence changed all of that!
?I was doing a lot of things to satisfy my ego.
?I was getting attached to results and every small thing that happened in my life.
I was making it mean something about me all the time.
Every post, every email, every conversation, every client, and literally everything I did.
It was exhausting! And it was a never-ending cycle of toxic ego satisfaction.
?Eckhart Tolle teaches this beautifully through his work,?nothing can satiate your ego, nothing!
So no wonder, no matter what you achieve in life, it’s not enough; when you don’t achieve it, it’s even worse.?So if you take action, that’s not enough; if you don’t take action, that’s not enough.
Do, and you are doomed, don’t do, and you are still doomed.
?I’m 100% sure you’ve felt this way before, or maybe you feel it all the time like I was for years.?
I had to realize that it doesn’t make me better or a less good person if my reel doesn’t go viral. It doesn’t make me less of a human if I didn’t make a sale. It doesn’t mean anything if my client did exceptionally well! I’m a whole human.?
It’s a profession, a project, a goal, or a dream. It’s external to my existence, and it’s there because I want it to be there. Without me, the desire disappears.
I have used this concept before. I decided I’m not my career, I’m more than that. But with my business, I got it all twisted.
?As soon as I remembered the beauty of dissociating your self-worth from what you do for a living, even if it’s your life’s purpose, I felt light and free!
So I invite you today to list out one outcome that shook you to your core in the last year, big or small, and journal on “what am I making this mean about me?”
If what comes up is exciting and creates some shift in you, DM me a photo of the journal, I’d love to see what’s coming up for you.?I’ll be your coach in DMs and help you with the next steps.
?If I could I would tattoo this entire sentence; “ NOTHING EXTERNAL DEFINES YOU, IT MEANS NOTHING ABOUT YOU! YOU ARE BRILLIANT REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER THE OUTCOME IS”
Do things out of fun, maybe even because of need at times. Do things out of curiosity and because you want to do them. Enjoy the process thoroughly and celebrate both wins and failures, don’t lose yourself in any of them. That's the essence of significant major spiritual teachings, and that’s the only lesson we need to learn in this lifetime.
Keep moving forward without making any of it mean anything about you!
Love,
Prasha??
