I see it often. Individuals hold on to their story for fear they will be “less than.” I love this article from the Brain Alchemist, “Vulnerability doesn’t mean victimhood.”
I love the name of their site too! I am reminded of The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. The book is an allegory telling us, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” When I read the book, there were so many thoughts that I wanted to remember… remember in the “I want to remember this in my life” kind of way. Quotes like, “Those who don’t understand their personal legends will fail to comprehend its teachings;” “My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer;” and “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.”
I was so inspired, I picked up a pen and a paintbrush…
In the end, the boy’s treasure was waiting for him in the place where he least expected. Isn’t that how life works? Like Dorothy, we have the power to make our dreams come true if we are willing to step outside the story we are telling ourselves and listen to our hearts.
