It’s quite rare of a sentence eloquently sums up, how a large part of our human conditioning is made up. This maybe one of the most powerful examples.
From when we are young, we are literally crying out to to be heard, to be seen and understood – exactly as we are. We question ourselves, asking; Am I good enough, will they love me as I am?
We spend years and decades looking for acceptance.
One of the main reasons we cannot find it “in the world” is, because we have not given it to ourselves yet.
So often when someone comes into our lives, someone who sees, hears and understands us, but we sabotage the relationship.
Our wrong mind cannot comprehend how someone else can love us so completely, when we cannot love ourselves.
In an almost divine manner, our loved ones, coaches or therapists hold the space (of seeing & hearing us) until we finally find it for ourselves.
This is when we get the gift of holding the same space for someone else. It’s a wonderful act of love.
