Why Are You Afraid To Be Who You Are?

  • Many of us spend too much of our lives holding back who we are - as if waiting for a magical time when something will click.
    We want to take ownership of ourselves, sensing there will be a magical point when things will unlock.
    The question we have to ask ourselves is:
    Are we spending our whole lives waiting?
    At what point do you seize the bull by the horns and take ownership?
    You have one chance at this life.
    And each day matters.
    Why continue to be bound by something you are not?
    Why not make the decision to become who you are?
    That is your gateway.
    Even if we sometimes have to pass through Hades to arrive there.
    This video was a late-night rumination in my studio here in Berlin.
    I feel something is emerging from me, even if we always feel limited by time and what we wish we could accomplish-as well as the version of ourselves we are ever aspiring to be.
    I didn't expect to go into my own history of mental health, but it feels right to share it more transparently at this point in my life.
    I had a horrible decade with panic attacks and every version of anxiety the gods cared to invent.
    But I never lost the will to become healthy. I just didn't realise that the journey to get there had nothing to do with will but more with surrender.
    If you are struggling with mental health, please know you are not alone.
    It is a lifelong journey.
    There's good stuff out there for you.
    You have to keep moving towards it.
    If anything in this video resonates with you, please comment and let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
    If there's anything I can help with more directly, please feel free to reach out via my Instagram or newsletter.
    For now, sending you a peaceful evening and let me know if you'd like me to make more videos exploring my own journey with mental health.
    Take care out there, Jim.

    Thanks Jim. Identity, freedom and belonging (love) are not ultimately found in moving closer to individualism but moving into radical communion. God exists in communion, three unique persons who are one. Father, Son and Spirit. Truth is synonymous with communion. Sending you big love! ❤
