What Is Wrong With me?


What Is Wrong With Me?

I am amazed at the amount of times that I am asked by people, 'what is wrong with me?'
Almost every time, I want to answer, 'nothing!'
On the odd occasion, I feel tempted to reply, 'everything' - but that is for another topic!

You are relentless with yourselves and you refuse to let go of the pains, the hardships, the agonies, the self-flagellation and the reasons why you are so bad and not good enough.

If every human, who is drawn towards an inward search for purpose or spiritual growth, is handed a red rose with a stem of thorns, it is guaranteed that most will grab the rose and allow it to dig its thorns into their flesh.
. . . why?
They feel that there must be compensation, punishment, payment or sacrifice for every piece of heaven that they ask for.
Those that realise that the rose can be placed in a vase and seen but not touched, know that beauty can be experienced without pain and suffering.
It is the stubborn angst of regret and shame which causes someone to hold onto the things that hurt and imprison them, and they feel justified in those things that cause misery. Somehow, they have a reason why the thoughts and feelings that bring sorrow must remain active and ever-present in their lives. 
 . . . why?
Most folk want it to be hard and they want to feel as if they must work for forgiveness and salvation, peace and balance.
Dying hard is a term that relates to how we release and let go of the elements that cause misery, doubt, sorrow, pain, worry and regret. We fight 'til the bitter end and in some cases, the real bitter end, to justify and hold onto the baggage that should have been cast away a long time ago.

Change is not always easy and it is not always elegant and in fact, can be darn right ugly!

What if every time that you feel the urge to ask the question, 'what is wrong with me?' 
you ask this instead, 'what is right with me?'
How can change be ushered in if you ask the first question? It is based upon a flaw, a misconception of events and your take on them, with the result that you are always at fault!

Change responds so delicately and so sincerely to the second question -
'what is right with me?'
. . . why?
Because true change is reliant on a new perspective, an awakening of consciousness and the willingness to accept that things can be changed!

Something is always right with you . . . and you just have to be willing to accept it!

  1. Nearly every single self-help or healing or empowerment protocol begins with the attitude of "what is wrong". What needs to be healed, what is blocking you, what is holding you back "from living the life you desire." In my work with you, you are the only one to ask this question: What is right with you?
    Thank you, Jaylee.

  2. And by focusing on what is right we turn our inward eyes on the goodness and encourage its growth. This took me a long time to learn, but has changed my life and continues to.
