Pierre collection

Stretched thin – between holding on to what is fleeting, and resisting what is inevitable – leaves us with not much energy left to take action where we are actually effective.

– pierre –

Resist nothing and hold on to nothing. In this space of surrender the water is calm and therefore clear. And in this clarity you’ll be able to see what your next action should be.

Looking into the week ahead this is my mantra today: “Whatever comes my way, I choose to find meaning and magic in every experience. I CHOOSE what to take seriously, and I will laugh at the rest.”

As a generalisation when we look at our “self”, when we think about who we are, we come up against all our worst qualities first. We see all of our worst habits and all of the “bad” things that we have done, and we mistakenly believe, “this is who I am…”

Your mind will forever produce a constant stream of thinking / feeling content like the feed on your Facebook account. Do you double click on everything in your feed? Or do you become better at knowing what serves you and what doesn’t?

When you are able to feel safe while coming face to face with the ‘worst’ parts of you – and not feel like you need to look away – you will make the biggest changes of your life!

You cannot soar and do great things while you’re carrying the weight of your resistance to being human. Give yourself permission to collapse when that is what’s called for, without any guilt or shame. And I promise you will rise stronger and more free every time.

Don’t turn. Don’t run. Stay… Lean in and feel this all the way through or you will run forever. And if you run forever, you’ll never be home.

When I am not being present, every action I take is decided by an old subconscious programme created by an event from my past. Being “present”, is how I spend my energy only on how I CAN be effective in this moment right now.

There is magic in you! But do remember that while magic takes serious focus and dedication to pull off, it is only ever enjoyed with the heart of a child. You have the capacity for both.

For the most part things come and go without the need for our interference, but then there are of course those few examples where we do need to take action. And when you do need to act, wouldn’t you want to be able to pour all to your energy into being effective without being distracted by all of the things you have no control over?

Are you going to wait for the world and the humans around you to first be perfect before you start loving? Love starts right now, by loving everything that is!

If I am triggered by what someone says or does I have to ask myself the question, “why am I not free of this? Why is the reaction inside of me so loud?” No one can “trigger” something in me, unless the trigger already exists in my nervous system. “What is this wound I need to heal?”

– pierre –

I can walk through the world with my emotional state always being at the mercy of what people say or do around me, or I can walk through the world free.

We have all had experience in our past of being shown by people around us that “how we are” is not acceptable to them, and that we need to somehow change in order to be accepted. These experiences are what lead us to wear a mask, hiding how we really feel for the sake of acceptance.

– pierre –

But when YOU are the source of your love, your approval and the appreciation of YOU, you will stand in front of anyone as an equal, and never have the need to wear a mask again.

The power of NOW… “Being present” has such a spiritual connotation that its pure practical application is often missed. It’s a shame because “being present” is simply the most effective way to apply your effort. Dealing with what this moment makes available to you right NOW, is the only place where you have any power at all. 

– pierre –

Really being present and surrendering to reality just as it is, brings clarity. While I’m fighting with reality, I’m trying to take action from data that doesn’t exist. But when I accept this moment just as it is, then I become available to see all the data that presents itself. Taking action from clarity.

Everything we experience offers us one of two paths: “Will I shut-down and shrink from this experience?” … OR… “Will I open-up and expand through this experience?”

“YOU are the master and your mind is the servant”, this is not a power struggle though. Your mind’s natural place is in service of the being that you are unless… unless your mind has never gotten to know your ‘being’. If your mind doesn’t recognize the soul that you are then it believes that all responsibility rests on its shoulders, and that it has to be the captain of the ship. And this is scary. Introduce your mind to your soul, and you’ll be surprised how readily your mind lets go of control.

We struggle to find meaningful connection while our ‘being ok’ is dependent on another person to make us feel loved and accepted. But when deep acceptance comes from your own heart, you’ll ‘be ok’ forever, and you’ll show up to relationships empowered.

It’s natural for any of us to look at our own “worst” qualities and want that to change, but attacking ourselves means that we engage in an inner war. And while this might seem to create the behaviour change that we want, it also creates an inner civil-war that could last forever. 

– pierre –

There is no need to force the “worst” parts of you to change in order to change your behaviour. You need to hold them in love and acceptance and realise that every time you do this you are BEING your soul. Keep practising being your soul and you’ll find yourself naturally acting from your soul. Keep acting from your soul and your old behaviour is changed.

Being “willing” to look at all of the humans around you while wishing only good things upon each and every one of them – even those who have wronged you – requires your heart to really open up wide. And from your own open heart you will be the one who benefits the most! Blessing everything in existence, blesses you with your own wholeness.

– pierre

When you look at all of the humans who have walked into and out of your life while sending a blessing to every heart, then you are standing in the vibration of love. Your mind is vibrating with love, your heart is vibrating with love, every cell in your body and nervous system has become the vibration of love, and you yourself become the biggest beneficiary.

Outside of us is a crazy world of people running around like frightened ghosts expecting us to do the same. Just imagine being able to always take a step back, and find the wisdom to spend your energy only where you will actually be effective – No more acting in fear. No more wasted energy.

Don’t try to control things that are beyond your control and remember that whatever you encounter always offers you one of two paths, “will this experience make me close up and contract? or will this experience make me open up and expand?”

We might have built a whole collection of coping mechanisms on top of our original foundation, but we can work our way back again. We can peel back the layers of everything that we are not, until we come to the deep realization of what we are – the physical manifestation of what is divine!

When you’re able to take a look at you and just OBSERVE, you’ll start to learn about yourself. You’ll learn to understand why you do what you do. You’ll get to see how old programming plays a role in dictating your actions before you even get the chance to think. And without self-judgement you won’t be in fight-or-flight, and you’ll be able to see more clearly what the best course of action will be.

This is the most basic truth… every act of love brings happiness, so always choose to be love. Live with your heart wide open because you deserve to experience the peace that comes with being the embodiment of love. This doesn’t mean that it won’t sometimes hurt. But when you decide not to close your heart when it hurts… when it hurts so much that you allow your heart to break, you will learn that your heart can only break open!

Surrender IS how we free ourselves from being controlled. Surrender allows us to be OK despite what is happening around us. Surrender teaches us that we can even be happy in the middle of the storm. And now in this place of surrender my options are no longer just fight or flight, because surrender expands my options and helps me see that there are many more avenues available to me when I am not in a state of fear.

– pierre –

When you fight, you limit yourself to the results that are possible from fighting. When you surrender, you open yourself to the results that are possible from cooperation.

“Every morning when you wake up, you have one of two choices… this day can make you shrink, shut down, and play even smaller in the future… or this day can make you grow, expand, and play even bolder in future!

Contract or expand… what will today be?”

“Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.”

– – – – –

If you’re trying to create a Vision and all it does is make you uncomfortable, experience fear – then THAT is not your vision right now. You have to keep experimenting with your vision until the picture you create wakes up passion in every cell of your body. You might need to take smaller steps. There is a MASSIVE amount of possibility in creating a vision – have you explored them all to find what makes the cells of your body come alive?

-pierre –

The sad truth is that for the most part we were all taught the following lesson – “no you’re not allowed to just be human!” – We all hold too much shame, guilt and self judgement over everything that we’ve done ‘wrong’, and it’s only when we can look at our own shortcomings with kindness that we’re able to allow the people around us to also just be human.

– pierre –

It tends to be true that talking to ourselves harshly comes quite naturally, yet it seems ‘weird’ to deliberately talk to ourselves in a positive way. When we don’t consciously create an empowering inner narrative, then we are left with only the wounded inner voices that we took on board in childhood.

There is no place in the world to travel to where the presence of God exclusively lives, but within your-SELF. You have divine wisdom in you, we all do! And we can learn to sit at the feet of our soul and listen.

You already hold the key to all of the wisdom you will ever need. The muddy water that keeps you from seeing with clarity, gets stirred up only by the splashing of your own fears. Form new, healthier relationships with your old fears, and clarity will become available in the calm water that is your true nature.

– pierre –

We can create from a place of fear or we can create from a place of freedom. The problem with fear as a motivator is that we are trying to create while looking over our shoulder, and the best we can ever do is only just escape punishment or bad consequences. With fear in the driver’s seat we’re unable to see the possibilities available to us and will never create to our true potential.

Of course we can plan ahead but we must be clear that the place where we create our future is here and now, by taking action right here in this very moment. Don’t get stuck in the thinking and the planning but immerse yourself in this moment. Pour your energy into the only place where you can cause an effect… the opportunity that this very moment makes available to you.

– pierre –

Energy spent on anything that is not in this present moment is always wasted. Spend your energy only on what this moment asks you to step up and do.

It is only when you stop judging the busy weather of your mind, that you start to experience the beautiful sky of your BEING.

– pierre –

Your true nature is not something that you have to work for or strive to achieve. Your true nature has always been a part of the soul that you already are. Doesn’t it just make sense that surrender is the act that gets you there?

There’s a time for DO-ing. And when it is time to take action let ALL of your focus be poured into your DO-ing. Just don’t forget that there is a time to rest too. And when it is time to BE, let ALL of your attention rest in just BE-ing.
