Hey there,

Today I’m going to share with you the fatal flaw on the path of self-improvement.

Have you been working really hard to be the very best you can be?

I’m sure you are someone who has been really dedicated to your own growth and you consciously seek out opportunities to learn and grow and better yourself.

And I’m guessing that sometimes you seek out these opportunities because, honestly, you feel like there is something wrong with you

and sometimes you just look at yourself and your life and you feel like there is something you need to fix and if you could just fix that thing or those few things…life would be so much better.

 

You may even have people in your life, your family, an intimate partner, maybe your parents, your children, friends, or colleagues and even complete strangers who feel the need to TELL you there is something wrong with you.

 

This belief, this idea, that there is something WRONG with you…this is the fatal flaw on the path of self-improvement.

 

“Self improvement” is actually not about improving you.

 

You are divine perfection. You are Perfect just as you are. You came forth to have an experience of yourself in this 3rd dimensional, physical reality, not to learn anything or fix anything or improve anything…just to have an experience of your Innate Divinity.

 

You are 100% Pure Source energy. Your ego, your emotions, your actions, your intuition – they are all equally Divine and Perfect expressions of you.

 

You are not broken.

 

The path of self-improvement is helpful when we realize that it’s not about fixing or improving ourselves. You can’t mess with perfection, right? It’s not about improving YOU.

 

It’s actually about improving the conditions, optimizing conditions, for YOU to recognize your divine perfection and consciously demonstrate it.

 

That’s the value in self-improvement…

learning how to consciously cultivate the best conditions possible for you to witness your divine perfection, and for you to be willing to express it, to demonstrate it, and to increase your ego’s tolerance for pleasure so you may welcome blessings into your life.

 

You are the source of your universe.

 

Life emerges from within you naturally. There is nothing you need to improve there.

 

Our work then is to understand what conditions support us in thriving.

 

Do you know what your Soul requires to thrive?

 

Do you know your Soul’s beautiful, funny quirks and you-isms?

 

When we know Who We Are as Unique, Perfect, Quirky, individuated expressions of the Divine then we can intentionally and consciously choose to create the conditions in which our authentic divine perfection can most easily and gracefully emerge.

 

Try it and see for yourself –

 

Stop focusing on improving YOU and start focusing on improving the conditions for your authentic self-expression to freely emerge.

 

This might mean taking care of your body differently, or making some changes in your relationships or becoming part of a community of people that help you remember the Truth of who you are.

 

It might mean practicing forgiveness, getting more sleep or changing some habits you think get in the way of your Soul’s self-expression…whatever it means for you.

 

Think about what actions you can take to make it easier for your Soul’s authentic brilliance to be expressed into your physicality.

 

And when you have an idea…go for it!

 

Take action right away.

 

 

To Your Divinity!
