There Is Nothing Wrong With You

Your problem is that you think you have a problem.

The problem isn’t:
The frustration
The workload
The money
The grief
The confusion
The anger
The other person

In fact, I’ll convince you that nothing is wrong with you.

Culture loves temporary relief.
Linear solutions to symptoms are the default method of wellness.

There is nothing empowering about this design because it does not create intimacy with the underlying cause.

Inauthenticity is the cause of unnecessary suffering.

We act one way when our body and mind urge us in the opposite direction.

We abandon ourselves to meet a perceived need from someone else.

What happens when we are in disharmony between our body, mind, emotions and even soul?

Dis-Ease.

You are not at ease when your thinking, being, and doing are out of alignment.

What arises when you are out of alignment?

Frustration
Confusion
Anger
Loneliness
Helplessness
Hopelessness

And these become the ‘problems’ we try to fix.

Learning to un-frustrate yourself is not healing the part of yourself from where the frustration comes.

Even deeper,
Believing that frustration, or confusion, or etc.. is the problem is the very belief that creates the problem.

There is no problem.

Here’s why nothing is wrong with you.

Before you had words, was your true nature inadequacy?
Was it insecurity?
Was it scarcity?

I’ll answer that for you.
No.

The belief that something is wrong with you is synonymous with the way you choose to identify yourself.

Its not that something is inherently wrong with you, its that the way you are currently relating to yourself is the cause of your ‘problems’.

There is nothing wrong with who you are, only the belief that there is something wrong.

This does not mean that you don’t want to change things about yourself, nor does it condone certain behavior.

The wrongness you believe to have is attached to the identity you believe you are.

So the only real problem is the way you are relating to yourself.
The problem is that we have difficulty accepting ourselves and instead default to guilt and shaming ourselves for who we think we are.
There’s no power there.

You’re not addressing the core of your constraints, only the symptoms.
The core of your limitation is your way of relating to yourself.

You can unfck that at any moment with a little help,
and don’t worry… every single human does this, so there is nothing wrong or unique about it, merely an opportunity to be more free.
