ACT greater than what you think of yourself

by Savitree Kaur

Be… ACT….greater than what you think of yourself.
I mean, this is the next step after getting buoyed by this KY practice.
I mean, why else are we practicing?

The limiting beliefs are there, I know.
I have them.
They are not just nuisances. They are downright debilitating.
But they don’t have to be.
I get to decide that they won’t control me.
I get to decide not to waste a moment defending myself and making (arguably legitimate) excuses.

I get to decide that I can risk whatever I think I am going to lose by putting myself out there because the risk of not doing it is worst. It’s worse because those consequences don’t go away until I self-correct and put myself out there. Because what’s worse than playing it safe is living in a state of chronic, low-grade flat-line of constant regret or something unspeakably missing underneath the veneer of “I’m good”. And then feeling hungry for something and being unable to pinpoint what that is, leaving me confused or malaised.

We all had dreams, and then we became practical. We found “balance” in our lives, and we compromised.
But did we really? Or did we misuse those words? Did we use them to make excuses for not acting?

I’ve looked back on when I’ve been tired, and when I’ve had sustained energy, and I found that I got tired, not when I’ve had “enough sleep” but when I’ve felt I’ve self-compromised. I experienced sustained energy on much less sleep when I rode the incredible waves that were the culmination of decisions that I made to act from my gut and my soul’s calling rather than my stupid head and nevermind the practical opinions of others or the imagined conclusions I thought they’d have about me, and most importantly the constraints I placed on myself by believing somehow I wouldn’t be able to pull my dream off, or I didn’t have the brains, the memory, the time, money or energy for it. The weight those fears carry. It seems like it would just be easier to take the damn risk.
