When you are a fantastic cheerleader, and motivator, you always help others attain that clarity spot, the go-to person for many, your positive groove is on the go all the time. One of the important things to be aware of is that we can soapbox, motivate, and even convince people to see and do things our way.
But even if someone chooses the more “evolved action” you’re suggesting, it doesn’t mean that they’ve just taken an evolutionary leap. We make choices from the level of consciousness that we’re at.
Wholeness isn’t as much about the choice—it’s about what’s inspiring the choice. Two people could make the same choice for very different reasons. One could be motivated by fear, the other could be coming from Love.
So, if someone is vibing low, convincing them to choose your option doesn’t necessarily raise them to a higher level of thinking and being.
Wisdom comes from embracing contrasting experiences: lucky breaks and pounding the pavement. A winning streak and a dark night of the soul. Selling out and taking a stand. Wanting it all and walking away.
Wisdom is earned. It’s the benefit of clearing out illusions. We do that by living more reflective, mindful lives—and a lot of letting go of our limiting thoughts, emotions, patterns, habits, the illusion of what and who is “ideal” to us, resentments, regrets, judgments, and labels that we put on us or have been put on us, etc.
So… maybe we just need to practice what we preach and hope for the best. We each get there at our pace and time.
