Stepping Beyond The Fear Of Failure - Day 376
- I forgive myself that I have not
accepted or allowed myself to decide who I am, how I am going to experience
myself and so decide my self-worth, but have instead accepted and allowed
myself to think and believe that who I am and my self-worth can only be
assessed and determined by other people – not seeing or realizing that I can
always decide for myself how I am going to see myself – and so, no matter if I
perceive it as though another person sees me as totally and completely
worthless, I still have the responsibility to decide whether that is something
I want to define myself according to or not – and therefor I forgive myself
that I have, within and throughout my life, just accepted whatever perception I
form in relation to what other people seem to think of me – in where I never
within that saw or realized that I was actually responsible for feeling like
shit – that I am the only one responsible for how I react to and towards others
opinions/my interpretation and perception of other people’s opinions – and so
within this I see, realize and understand that I can, in every moment, decide
who I am going to be in relation to and as a response towards the opinions I
perceive others to form of me – so, why not give myself the opportunity to
stand as that awareness in every moment, where I take a stance to stop the
automatic pattern of just absorbing every interpretation I form in relation to
what others thinks of me and within that instead decide to slow myself down in
the sense of actually assessing other people’s opinions in where I within that
decide whether that opinion is something I want to accept or not – and so make
an actual decision where I see and realize that I can in fact let the opinion
bounce back in the sense of not accepting and allowing myself to just
automatically and instantaneously absorb it but to instead slow myself down and
within me assess whether the opinion really in fact is who I am – or if I am
instead going to decide, for myself, who I am, how I am going to experience
myself and what my self-worth is. I mean, why would I want to make myself feel
like crap when I can decide not to?
- I forgive myself that I have
accepted and allowed myself to fear experiencing myself as I did in the past in
relation to my school-situation and in relation to the response I received of
not doing good enough – and within this I forgive myself that I have accepted
and allowed fear of experiencing it as though others sees me as a failure, as
not good enough, to be and become what moves and motivates me within my current
participation within school and studying. In this I forgive myself that I have
not accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand how I am
currently attempting and trying to compensate for the failure I perceived
myself to be – where I have accepted and allowed myself to think and believe
that I have to prove myself good enough and make up for all the apparent
failures I committed in the past – not seeing or realizing that through
accepting and allowing myself to exist within this construct of ‘attempting to
make up for my past’ I am in fact merely feeding a polarity-construct, where I
am perpetuating the fear of failure through accepting and allowing that fear to
be what guides, moves and directs me to work hard, where I am essentially
generating fear as an attempt to obtain the positive side of the polarity of
feeling good enough and worthy – not seeing or realizing that this has in fact lead
me nowhere, because I see how the experience and belief of myself as being
worthless, a failure and not good enough persists – so, the fact that I now have,
for years, been an ‘A-student’ does obviously not change anything in relation
to how I internally experience and see myself, so – I see, realize and understand
that the grades I obtain now cannot make up for the past, it cannot make up for
how I internally see and experience myself – and so the only thing that can
actually make up for my past and thus release me from the self-beliefs I have
created is me, that I can only develop persistent self-acceptance through
re-instructing and re-creating myself from the within to the without.
- And so I commit myself to assist and
support myself to step beyond the fear of the experience of not being good
enough/failing – and within this see, realize and understand that I now have
the tools with which to stabilize myself and so therefor I see and realize that
I do not require to fear an experience – because I do have me, my breathing and
the tools that I require to be able to direct myself out of an experience.
Within this I furthermore commit myself to assist and support myself within
situations in where I see that I am within the mind speculating about other
people’s possible opinions of me – to within such moments no more accept and
allow myself to continue my participation within the mind – but to instead
immediately stop, where I within this commit myself to take self-responsibility
through deciding who I am and how I am going to experience myself – and so I
take the decision to stop making myself feel like crap but to instead support
myself within my self-relationship through seeing and realizing that I actually
do have the ability and the responsibility to decide how I am going to
experience myself as a response to the perception I form of what others thinks
of me.
