You’ve heard it said that “you are the sum total of the five people you spend the most time with.”
What is also true is that you are the reflection of what you take in as nourishment. Be it the food that you eat or the TV that you watch, or the music you listen to… or the gossip that you give attention to.
There is a reason why pain exists. Pain signals that there is a problem that needs attending to. Interestingly enough, when pain is extreme, the body will ‘tone down’ the pain or go into a shock in order to preserve the body. The reason why this is so, is because for the body to truly feel the depth of the pain it’s in, the body would not be able to bear it and the body would die.
What happens to those dreams? They are rewritten with “shoulds” that come from teachers, parents, friends, movies, church, and life events that blur and then change what matters to you most into what you think it should be.
