“It’s not for me” is such a dangerous belief that most of the time it seems harmless.
It is repeated by those who carry a buried trauma, by those who denied a part of themselves so long ago that they no longer even remember it.
It’s like having a muscular block: making that movement feels impossible. At first, you try to heal, to find a solution, but if it doesn’t happen, the body simply adapts and the block seems to disappear. You move out of alignment, but you no longer notice it.
At least until the Universe puts you to the test—until it places you next to someone as agile as a gazelle. Then you feel that something is wrong, but you don’t know what it is. You tell yourself: “Maybe moving this way just isn’t for me.”
“It’s not for me” is such a dangerous belief, and yet—this may seem incredible—it is also one of the most courageous phrases that exist. When you are no longer willing to compromise, when you have discovered who you are and honor your talents and your way of doing things, you know that every yes and every no must be said solely for yourself, in order to respect and love yourself.
So how do you tell the difference?
How do you uncover the truths hidden within this phrase?
A small trick: “When Life in-vites you, always begin by saying yes, and then listen as you walk the path.” In this way, you can discover in real experience who you are not, who you are not yet ready to be, and who you were born to become.
