Arron, thank you! I really enjoy your meditations. Iāve never quite remembered a meditation like this. And Iāve never felt the message or connection as clearly. It started with a hunched over figure on a park bench next to a winding sidewalk through a park. A Young version of me, whom I recognize immediately. Comes down the sidewalk., it seems the environment and whole scene around him changes. Like from black-and-white To bright full color HD . As little me approaches the park bench. The view changes . I am looking out the eyes of this figure, my current self. looking down at Smiling curly headed bright eyed Six-year-old me. who then asked me if Iām OK? you look sad donāt be sad. I say yes I am a little sad, thank you, itās very kind of you to ask If Iām OK, Little Me proceeds to explain his philosophy on how not to be sad. This is the same way I have lived most of my life by. Pure people pleasing, keep Mom, Dad, and Sister happy help as much as I can to keep people happy and they will be happy with you. in this. I realize. the separation between the kindness in my heart, and need to please people for approval . I then explained to this little boy. you have to do for yourself too. That it is OK not to do something for somebody if you donāt want to. That itās OK to do something that makes you happy no matter who might be upset with you, including mom and dad This vivid interaction continued and touched on a lot I truly need to let go of change the story of. I should not feel guilty about letting people down or not being enough. Itās OK to do the things that I want to do. that I am capable of finding the approval I seek within myself. Our interaction ended with a beautiful embrace and truly feeling the joyful energy I remember from when I was a child. Thank you tribe for holding the spaceš
