The secret of life that changes everything
There is a jewel within the greatest secret of life. It shines so bright, being more valuable than all the gold and diamonds of the world combined. If you know and experience it, it will open the gates for you, to the lands of the unexpected, beautiful beyond measure and joyful. Rather unmaterial, it transforms into matter and things that do not bind you, as you remain free even in the midst of beauty.
The jewel is so powerful, that gives you freedom from the world and at the same time connects you with all things and beings. Imagine a situation, in which you feel deeply connected to a human being, yet you have no desire to “possess” the person, like a building or a piece of land. It is a true secret of life that transforms everything from the moment you feel it.
Imagine a situation in which other people’s opinions do not worry you. Perhaps they remain interesting, but they do not harm your self-esteem. Moreover, you remain centered and internally calm. As when something happens, you see yourself through it and the other person as well. Your relationships with people change radically, you do not need them but joyfully welcome others into your own universe.
The secret of life is so transformative, that it changes how you approach situations. The solutions to challenges you find become different, you need less. However without it, people become the victims of life, and the troubled way of thinking and acting often manifests in the illness in the body. We wrote about it in our article: The number one strategy to heal.
Everyone can have it, yet so few truly discover and embody it.
There are variety of travel destinations around the world you can choose from. Different countries or even environments give you sometimes opposing emotions. The same happens when you travel through life fueled by all sorts of emotional states. Further, if you feel joy, you will meet different life circumstances to those that would emerge if you felt sadness.
We travel to the left and we travel to the right. We go into the sky and dive deep into the ocean. Yet, few dare to cross the border of the true unknown, where the greatest jewels hide. Indeed, let me guess, that this path is even more uncrowded nowadays than ever before. “What is it?” an explorer would ask.
It exists but you cannot see or touch it.
However it materializes in a form closest to you: your body and in whatever happens. The life circumstances that you experience are its material representation as well. Some would say that things happen to us, but I dare say that it is the other way round. It is us who create that which we encounter. This change does not happen because someone or something makes you happy. It comes into being from within. Everything meaningful in life begins in love.
The love to the self.
It fill you up so strongly, that you accept are curious of yourself. It is like magic, it shifts and transforms stones into jewels, black coal into shiny diamonds.
The problem is, that many of us come into life in families where we do not learn how to love ourselves. Moreover, we have no role models who would shows us that. Further, often we hide our true selves, to be loved by those close to us. We learn early on that being “nice” makes our parents or care givers attentive to us, and angry or ignorant when we show our true selves. Day by day, such behaviors break us apart on the inside. So we seek love in other people, fulfillment in relationships, in things and addictions, that eventually make us unbelievably lonely. We think that love needs to come from the outside, and that it is the only way.
Nothing can be more further from the truth.
Love. the feeling most of us seek our entire lives, has one silent spring: on the inside of your heart. This is the secret of life, jewel that transforms everything you encounter. Further, it shifts the way you approach your work, ideas and people. The unexplored land or rather universe is always with you, ever changing. If you decide to dive into it, the world around you will no longer be the same. Moreover, its depths have the walls built of trust and forgiveness. You no longer need others to be perfect or strong, or super understanding to carry you through life, because you rely on your own self and invite others to join and share the united beauty and experience.
No need.
This way you give others freedom to be the way they want to. Self-worth is within you, you come to share love instead of only receiving it. You become whole, with or without others.
How to find a path to the inner source of life? For many of us it is a process that may take a while. I know, because I have been there, in the world of seeing others as my center, the givers of love. Even if you meet people who truly want to make you happy, you still feel an inner void that cannot simply be filled from the outside. I remember situations where I should have been happy, a business success, a wonderful person in my life, yet something was missing.
Self-reliance that is going to stay
I subconsciously knew that my sadness or joy was not from the outer situations, but internal, and it influenced everything out there. Love makes you whole. Not achievements, not other people. But love. It is the ultimate freedom. Then, achievements and other people truly make sense and find their place in you, your life and heart. If you feel inner sadness, loneliness, emptiness… hold tight, because it is your beautiful self that shows you what it needs: Your lovely attention to your self.
I encourage you to not jump into watching TV, reading, learning, or whatever you used to do when you felt feelings on the inside that you did not know how to cope with. But simply sit with them. Give them a company, do not abandon yourself in such situations, because it is there and this is the time when you need yourself the most.
How to start them?
From giving the idea of love being on the inside a possibility. from being curious, wanting to start this new journey of discovery, seeking the truest and most beautiful secret of life: love. And noticing your body. It is a wonderful tool that feels. When something happens, just give yourself one second to first feel what happens on your inside. Do just that. Start from here.
If there is anything worth doing in life, it is love. This is the beginning.
Reference and gratitude
I have had powerful and wonderful teachers, among them are dr Margaret Paul, God, children, Saint-Exupery, Mother nature and my dogs. I was also influenced by other tremendous humans, among the Ralph Waldo Emerson.
