My inner voice often dances between self-preservation and the desire to share something of value rather than feed my ego. I recently deleted much of my social media presence or digital footprint as it no longer feels aligned with what it once was.
We all have egos, even the Most Holy of Holy humans, who have danced in light and shade with their egos. When someone says they don't have one, it's just the spiritual ego wanting to be bigger than others (it's like a double standard). To have an ego is to be human—a topic for another day!
One of the things I've learned & sat in mastery with is that only some have earned access to my personal life, and I desire to share it. As a public figure, I love to share, teach, educate & inspire.... but I am also profoundly private.
Some things in life are entirely sacred, held within the chambers of one's heart, and not up for community discussion, interpretation, or opinion. They are holy in a way that I only want to savor with those I love intimately.
Let's be clear: intimately is not Sexual, but rather those with whom I have built close & deeply trusting, unwavering loving bonds in a healthful reciprocal exchange.
I mean by no means loosely; I am open to having a love for humanity with creatures large & small, the lands, oceans, streams & all that comes between—an affinity to keep my heart open to the infinite love that is me & thus surrounds me.
However, we live in an age where oversharing is such a THING.
Relatability is sacred, but also is self-preservation.
Not everything you or what is consciously moving through you or wanting to stir the pot by casting out a net to see WHO bites needs to be shared. Some things in life are meant to be for you, and only you can decide if others have earned access to you in all of life's hues.
Self-regulation, for myself, as much as I teach, is about constantly questioning the motives behind what I share. Is it for the benefit of others or to stroke my ego? When this distinction is clear, sharing becomes about honoring my voice, not seeking validation or acknowledgment.
When you validate, accept & acknowledge your voice, power, energy & capacity to live life on your loving terms, the desire to constantly share your personal life via social media dissipates because you are busy living it, not simply projecting "THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE" when in fact you are still sitting on the sidelines hope for life to happen for you.
Our lives are what we make them; we are free to choose however we see fit. But if you ever find yourself in the space between feeling you need to "create content" to entertain or keep people up to date with how you are living your "best" life, then when will you change the narrative to cease filling a need that was never yours to do in the first place?
Entertain yourself. When you are in deep, loving awareness of who you are to yourself, you will become more deeply aware of WHO vibrationally has access to you and for what purpose.
Remember you are sacred & your life is not up for community digestion, discussion, or dissection.
You dont need to wear a cape to know you are a hero in your soul's eyes; you can be gallant & private all at the same time. Wisdom comes with living life, but never at the cost of self.
Loving you forward
