Addicted To Becoming

Lately, working with clients and in talking with friends, I’ve noticed how much energy there is on and around becoming. Becoming a better person, a better friend, a better lover. A better worker. A better listener. Better to oneself. With so much of our life force wrapped up into this constant state of becoming, its a no wonder it’s hard to simply BE. After all, we are human BEINGS, not human becomings!

Imagine for a moment that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. That the current struggle in your life, be in financial, career-oriented, family related or internal is exactly the struggle that you are supposed to be in. That you are growing and changing as a being in exactly the way you created when you came into this life. That whatever the “thing” is for you right now, it’s exactly right.

Imagine for a moment that on a spiritual level, you already are all those things. That within you, you have the information and capacity to be those things at any given moment. The challenge is to integrate it into a life – this life. Of course, this involves other people, which is where all the energy is. How do they respond? How do they expect you to respond?

So often I see people holding back on their dreams, waiting for something to happen that will finally allow them to act out their destiny. It doesn’t really work that way. We are the masters of our own destiny, thru free will. It’s all too easy to get addicted to “Becoming” and to never “BE”. We obsess about one more seminar, one more class that we percieve will make us “whole”… and therein lies the crux. We will never actually be whole until we find that wholeness within. Being human is about being, not doing or becoming.

So next time you think about what you need to do to become who you want to be, consider that you may already be it. You just need to give yourself permission to bring that energy into your life. It’s a game changer.
