Ok, Weirdo.

 

Weirdo here, sharing something uber personal. I’m obsessed with Oprah and all things Oprah. When she decided to have a free meditation series with Deepak, I was down. I’ve done three of these free series and a new one is about to start on August 11^th! Woop woop!  In between the free sessions, I have an Oprah void so I take to the free samples (notice all the times I’ve used the word free). There’s one lesson in particular that I’ve memorized every word  and it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve listened and over listened, I always learning something new.  

This morning, when my anxiety hit an all-time high. I took to my zen place.

This is the good stuff, this was the stuff that made me think.  

Oprah starts off with “Want more fulfilling relationships? First you must be full yourself. You can’t attract what you don’t have.” Whole attracts whole. Love attracts love. “  Deepak hops in with “We attract that which we are…..”, he then continues with a quote by Rumi “What you seek is seeking you” and continues with “The act of being love positions us to receive love.”  

There’s a lot of delicious chocolate chip morsels in the meditation series, but the one that’s been swirling around in my mind all morning is the quote by Rumi. “What you seek is seeking you.” 

(insert my inner dialogue) What am I seeking?  

1.       A life lived – Having lost a father to young, my thoughts are always always always about how short life is and how life is such a gift. I’m seeking the good stuff, the not normal life.

2.      Lasting relationships – I want great people in my life. I want meaningful conversations. I want people that I’m deep rooted in love and that I bring love too. I’m seeking awesome people to be in my life.

3.       Travel – The world is massive, beautiful and interesting. I’m seeking to see as much of it as I can.

4.       Passion – Why work anywhere when I can do what I love? I’m seeking a career that’s not my paycheck but my passion.

5.       French Bulldog – I’ll find the right nugget at the right time.  

My mind is still swirling around, but somehow in my ramblings I hope you’ve been encouraged to know that what you are seeking is seeking you and you can’t attract what you don’t have.  

Love,

An Honest Weirdo
