Sometimes it is not physical situations that need to change, but our insides. We don't know how to get to that 'person' we see in our minds that we want to be. There is a woman there, ahead of us, we see her, we notice what she's wearing, we like her hair, her posture, her words. We know she is us. I know she is me. But, I can't always reach her. I get close. There are moments in some days when I am almost her. But, I can not say I have ever reached her fully. Why is she so hard to reach? Why can't I get there? Why am I not her?
The truth is. if we want to be that woman we know we are capable of being, we must envision her and then simply 'be her'. We must, 'be the ball'. We must keep our eyes on her and our mouths must be under her control. Our every move must be focused. We must first think before we act so that we can train ourselves to be the ball. We must pretend we are the ball until we fully are the ball. Keeping our eyes on the ball will help us become one with it.
This metaphor is a good connection to make when you are feeling like that woman you so desire to be is soooooo far away and you don't know how she got there. There are times we feel like we've lost her altogether. She's still there, and we have to bring her back to light and then focus very hard on her. She will, one day, become so much a part of us that, 'she is us'. But, it takes focus and it takes practice. We must continue to work on being the ball until we master it.
Take Good Care Today.
Such an interesting post Jane. I like the metaphor!
