To be or not to be…..Significant?

🧐I had a big realisation recently and it’s so obvious and been staring me in my face for a while now but I finally looked at it.

The realisation coming from listening to one of my mentor Peter Sage’s teachings.

That is, I have a need for significance and it’s fuelled from a feeling of not feeling good enough which is a conditioned pattern I have carried for a very long time, as long as I can remember.

Although the recent months have helped me with dissolving much of my not good enoughness, I hadn’t looked at one of the knock on effects of that which still needed to be acknowledged. That is the need for significance.

It had been apparent in many of my behaviours especially around connection with people, be it family, friends or even strangers.

It has come out as people pleasing, high expectations of others’ behaviour, allowing myself to be treated poorly at times, wanting to be important, wanting to be well thought of, all for one purpose – to prove I am significant because I didn’t feel good enough.

The need for significance has been a block to leading an authentic life and a life where I can express and give my best self and if I’m honest I find that a bit painful.

But, better late than never… some people go to their graves without knowing this so I’m grateful for this realisation.

If I was coaching someone in the same boat, I would ask the question “who would you be without that need for significance”

When I ask myself that same question the answer I get is “a more authentic me”

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what that entirely looks like yet, but I’m excited about finding out.

People seek significance in different ways, some find it in status, achievements, others in accumulation of wealth and desirable objects, some find it by positively comparing themselves to others, perfectionism and more.

It’s usually fuelled by a feeling of not good enough which many of us feel from childhood.

Does this post resonate? How else may people seek significance?

Do you feel like you seek it? How does it present itself?

"Transformation doesn’t happen inside of a comfort zone" - Peter Sage

I have spent years sitting in my comfort zone, occasionally I’d push it but then I would get back to that cosy snug place.

At the same time, I was stuck, not happy with myself, feeling like I’m not making much progress and wondering what did I have to do to make a change or get unstuck.

I’ve been learning about personal growth and development for over 30 years and I didn’t put 2 and 2 together.

🔥Transformation doesn’t happen inside of a comfort zone

That was an a-ha for me, to change or get unstuck I need to push my comfort zone, yes it may feel uncomfortable but what’s waiting on the other side? Surely its worth a bit of discomfort, and the more I do it the more comfortable I get with feeling uncomfortable.

I’ll share an example,

In Tenerife over the 5 days with the Peter Sage community, before every session a loud dance song would play usually “I Like to Move it Move it” and small group of the staff and attendees would get on the stage and start dancing.

I saw this as a challenge, I’m going to get on that stage and dance even though it terrifies me.

The first 2-3 times I felt awkward and self-conscious but by the end I was loving it! I didn’t care anymore what anybody thought, I was having too much fun.

It was transformational for me, it gave me more confidence and reconnected me to dancing which I used to love to do but hardly do anymore.

There were many things over the trip that stretched my comfort zone including travelling alone abroad after so many years, being interviewed for a documentary with no preparation and putting my hand up to share my thoughts in front of 200+ people.

✨All of these things came with that feeling of fear and I did it anyway because I know it’s the only way to grow.

✨It’s given me back a confidence I know I have lacked for a good few years.

✨Its given me the appetite to push my comfort zone when I can, as I know what possibilities are on the other side.

❓What would you like to do that will stretch your comfort zone?

Do you stop pushing your comfort zone in case it feels uncomfortable, like I used too?

Please let me know in the comments or drop me a 👍/❤️ if this post resonates.

Last week in Tenerife, I was lucky and grateful to meet and connect with some amazing souls who inspire others by following their purpose and passion, by being the example, and guiding others with love.
They all have their incredible stories to tell ❤️

Here are just some of them that I was lucky to grab a photo with.

What…A…Week...🔥

I’m home after a mind blowing and transformative few days in Tenerife with the Peter Sage community; fellow students and trainers, Team Sage staff and some inspiring guests.

It’s so hard to put in to words the amazing energy, connection and love experienced, from people I have only ever met online and some people I had never met until last week.

💛It was a space where it felt like we were all operating from a higher and more authentic level, from love rather than fear.

💛It was a space that embraced love rather than fear, where there was an openness and support rather judgement.

💛A space where we celebrated everyone’s wins because their win is our win.

💛A space where we lifted others up because when we do that, we lift ourselves up.

💛A space where we connected, smiled and SAW each other, rather than look away in fear, judgement or distraction.

💛A space where synchronicities and manifestation was the norm and occurring frequently.

⭐️It was a space where we were all embodying what we’ve been taught by Peter Sage and that contributed to the incredible energy.

🌈I never believed I would experience such a thing when I joined the Peter Sage training and tribe in February of this year. It’s been the most inspiring and transformative 9 months of my life and I’m just getting started. We the community are just getting started.

🌍Imagine if the world was like the space that I described, where we all lived from a place of love and connection rather than fear, stress and judgement.

Where synchronicities and manifestation are the norm and we realise we are really all one so we act from that place.
Where we tune in to what can I contribute? rather than what can I get?

✨Peter’s mission and his community's collective mission is to raise global consciousness so that EVERYONE can experience this love ✨

We all deserve to be in a space like this and live with joy as it’s our birthright.

🫶Everyone on this planet deserves to experience what I and the community experienced this week.

⚡️I’m still buzzing from this magical experience and can’t wait to share more insights and photos over the next few days and weeks.

If you’re curious or would like to find out more, please comment or sent me a direct message. I would love to share what I’ve been doing.

Big love ❤️

An amazing week so far in Tenerife at the EMT day and EMF festival with my mentor Peter Sage whose mission is to raise global consciousness, and the inspiring EMT/EMF/Team Sage family.

Training, inspiration, laughter, dancing, sightseeing all in the mix.

Wonderful to meet friends I’ve been chatting to online for months and some new enlightened friends too 💗

Now for the rest of the weekend

Why I decided to forgive….

24/10/2023

This sets us free….

I’m talking about forgiveness which is often not easy; in fact it can be one of the hardest things we do sometimes. We can feel that we are letting the other person off the hook if we forgive them or condoning their behaviour.

I found forgiveness hard but there are 3 insights that really helped me see it differently.

⚡️ TD Jakes, an American preacher says in a video clip of his I watched about forgiveness,
“who is worth it that you give them (x) years of your life….they move on with their lives and you stay stuck…because they got in your way (x) years ago”

That was a huge insight to me, my inability to forgive in the past was keeping me stuck and in victim mentality, while the other person was going on with their lives without a clue about how I felt.

I used to think that people weren’t worthy of my forgiveness because of what they’d done but now I realise it’s not about them at all, it’s about me and my desire to live a life with as little baggage as possible.

⚡️The second insight was that I don’t have to condone what the other person has done, at all.
I can forgive them but still believe what they did was wrong. I don’t have to see them again, or talk to them, it’s about letting go of the anger and sadness inside of me, so I can feel free.

⚡️The third insight was that when people do bad things that I've been unable to forgive, they do it because of what they’ve gone through and on some level they have suffered and thus they inflict suffering on others.
It is very likely that we would have done the same if we were in that person’s shoes with their past experiences.

People who are hurt or have been hurt, hurt other people.
Maybe on some level, these people who have wounded us, deserve our compassion.

Is there someone you need to or would like to forgive? What stops you?
Who would you be and what would it mean to forgive?

Do these insights I’ve shared help change the way you see forgiveness? Do you have any insights of your own?
