Incredible response, thank you for answering my call from my journal, it’s greatly appreciated.
Man you’re absolutely right about this. I’m coming from a place of scarcity.
Do I? I’ve never interpreted the ‘I have nothing to lose’ perspective in the latter, I’ve always perceived it as the former. I’ve always thought about it as ‘I have nothing to lose’ means that I’m already as low as I can go, so I can only go up from here. From what I understand, you’re saying that one has nothing to lose when they have already won.
So how do I go about this then? How do I change this filter? How do I ‘fill my cup’. as you so aptly put it? How long will It take? None of us are finished products (nor will we ever be), so what is the threshold that has to be met in order for me to be satisfied enough to be able to extend compassion, gratitude, love to others without having a transactional tone to it?
Hm, I always feel like whenever I get close to that ‘well I’m good’ feeling, I get a reality check sooner or later and realize that I have so much more to work on. All I want is that ‘I’m good to go’ feeling, but it’s a struggle to get there.
I do love the idea of admiring others’ way of expression, their mechanism and how they’re built to act and react.
This was a very valuable post, thank you again.
