Innovating
As the third child of six, the second girl of five, who grew up in a developing country with a clear hierarchical, patriarchal, and racist society, I was trained from the start to serve others regardless of whether it served me, whether it was appropriate for me or whether I was available at the time. My joy, desires or needs were never recognized, in the decision making mix, let alone the priority of the moment.
It’s taken a long time to recognize how much this conditioning has stayed with me. I’d always been willing to lend a hand regardless of whether there was appreciation, approval, or appropriate compensation on the other side of the exchange.
Today something I couldn’t see before became clear to me during an equal energetic exchange with a beautiful, caring and well prepared soulful professional.
The innovation of allowing ourselves to live lives beyond the storylines we’ve been told to hold ourselves to by others with limited vision is the freedom we seek.
Are there storylines about yourself that you’re ready to innovate?
