How do you stay on your own journey; stop comparing; see your own unique gifts to the world; and nurture those gifts?
The short answer is… “Only in the Present Moment."
We are on our journey now. The admonition from Rumi is: “Don’t go back to sleep.” And I would add that every time we realize we went back to sleep, we are awake again!
Comparing is always a game of our ego the egoic mind that is always comparing and categorizing. As we stay awake, we also see the comparison start to come in and then we can choose to continue comparing and get further entranced by our egoic thought process…or we can choose to return to pure awareness, without judgment. Usually comparison involves making self and others ‘worse than’ or ‘better than’… both egoic distractions from the Present Moment…
Being aware of your unique gifts and nurturing them also goes beyond thinking about what they may be… As we live in the present moment, we can choose to follow our heart and allow our natural gifts to continue to express themselves. Realizing that the creative Life Energy living through us can express itself in many ways and will never be limited to a lists of ‘gifts’ we may come up with through the thinking process… There are times when we use our thinking abilities to contemplate a particular quality, topic, word, or action… which is both in the moment and potentially useful in building a point of tension in cognitive and creative process that nurtures the intuitive, inspiration, and illuminating ‘pops’ to emerge.
Each aspect of your concern begins with awareness and acceptance of ‘what is’ in this moment… Follow your intrinsic nature to create and continue to give expression to the Life that is living through your form, your emotions, your thoughts, your sensations, your actions.
