One of our great fears – which haunts us when we go into the world and socialise with others – is that we may, in our hearts, be really rather boring. While non-attachment may be a sought-after trait for some, indifference in our decisions and neutrality to our pursuits can, over time, make us feel alienated and alone.
But the good news, and a fundamental truth too, is that no one is ever truly boring. The propensity to suppress ourselves is often rooted in the caregivers that either watched us a little too closely, or not closely enough. We are only in danger of coming across as such when we either don’t know (or don’t dare) to explore our deeper selves and communicate them to the world. | | | The One Question to Ask to Understand Who You Truly Are | | | | | The Self Knowledge Collection | | | Essential Ideas: Self-Awareness | | | | If we could pin-point the single biggest reason why so many of us feel so lost, anxious and unhappy, it would be this: we don’t make time to focus on healing ourselves.
