You Are Exactly Where You’re Supposed To Be
Episode description
“You have a story: does the story serve you, and are you going to be seduced by it, or are you going to have it serve the scripting of something new?” - Lola Wright
My nine-year-old son recently shared a heart-breaking idea with me: that he wasn’t supposed to be here. I gave him the chance to share why he felt that way, and in our conversation he soon came to his own conclusion: that he really was meant to be here.
The distress my nine-year-old felt is the same kind of ordeal we are constantly grappling with. Unhappiness is found when we feel that we are in the wrong place, that our reality is a mistake and must be changed. In this episode of Find Your Fierce & Loving, I invite you to investigate that thought instead of indulging it. Can you identify what narrative you’re telling yourself about your life? Can you find the reason that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be?
