My Morning Motivator is here to help you believe in yourself. I eventually learned to trust myself. I started small. I started to trust my memory. I trusted that I would remember what I needed when I needed it. No more lists and obsession with writing everything down.
Secondly, I trusted that I could wake myself up without an alarm. I asked myself to awaken at certain times, and I did! I practiced trusting. Little by little, I learned. Sweets tempted me. I learned to pay attention to what I wanted – nutrition. And my level of hunger – that I could feed myself the correct amounts. I trusted myself with unstructured time, learning how to comply with what was to be done in the moment, even if nothing at all.
Then, I realized that myself included everything and everyone. I realized that what was appearing as “not me” was an illusion of me. Opposition, like wind resistance on an airfoil, should keep a heavy object like a plane on the ground. But like heavy weights at the gym, these so-called opposing forces were carving an advanced being – body, mind, and soul.
Opossums seem ugly and creepy in the dark. But they are helping. They are cleaning, scavenging, and balancing the ecosystem. The bacteria on my skin and the microbes in my gut are feasting on what could kill me. The cover of darkness is working with me. I eventually learned to trust the dark, the subconscious mind, the unknown. I realized I was all of that and more. I fear nothing now. For I realize it’s all for my comfort and benefit. Time to stop being afraid of enemies, germs, opossums, exercise, and bacteria. Wind resistance should stop a plane, but the plane can’t fly without it. Neither can I be the Light without darkness. My opposition, my friend, myself.
