“You can’t call yourself truely peaceful unless you are capable of great violence”
Jordan Peterson
I am a yogi
I am a meditation leader
I am a DV survivor
I am a warrior
I am a midlife perimenopausal slightly fatter than this time last year Gen X woman who is not afraid to push through barriers, and scream in the face of my fears and smash through judgements of self and others.
When I watch this video all I see is strength
I do not see fear of failure
I do not see fear of pain and maybe injury
I see the face that is determined
I hear the cry of mastering the task at hand.
This is the face that others see.
This is the face that is posted o to Facebook and instagram
This is not the face I look at in the mirror.
This is not how is see myself.
Yet here she is.
Doing, winning.
If we are able to see ourselves through the eyes of others
What would we see?
Would we find pride?
Would we see strength?
Today please share a picture or memory that you can look back upon and see what others see.
Share a time when you were brave, you achieved something you were scared of.
You broke those barriers of self doubt.
You appeared to the world confident and strong
Yet inside you doubted yourself.
Be proud of your accomplishments yet also proud of the fear you broke through.
