Your “personal growth” process is done.

It always has been.

It was done the day you were born.

When you pick up that self-help/spiritual book, attend that yoga class, join that drum circle, listen to that inspirational speaker, or walk on those burning coals, you aren’t growing, but rather, you are remembering what you once knew.

Your personal growth has always be complete because you don’t have to do anything in this life but be the real you.

You showed up the day you were born because the universe wanted to express itself through you. You showed up to express love unconditionally.

And you showed up with standard equipment and a default setting that made you perfect for the job!

If you haven’t seen your baby photo in awhile, go get it. I’ll wait.

Or if you can’t be bothered, picture it in your mind.

Or think of any baby you’ve seen recently. Look at the standard equipment and default setting you or they arrived with.

Joy. Enthusiasm. Peacefulness. Laughter. Playfulness. LOVE.

You were perfect.

You still are perfect.

Any message you’ve received or any thought that you’ve had pertaining to the idea that you aren’t perfect and that you aren’t enough just the way you are, is conditioning from society that makes unconditional love the unnatural challenge that it is.

Move over, Chris Angel, imperfection is the grandest illusion on earth.

After we’re born and we grow older, our parents, grandparents, educators, coaches, and society feed us all kinds of messages that what we are not enough just the way that we are.

We learn that our original operating system and standard equipment requires constant upgrades.

We embark on “personal growth” only because we slowly, but surely, forget our true nature.

The only thing that I can suggest in terms of “self-development” or “personal growth” is to un-learn all the conditioning that’s made it hard to express love to all people and in all situations. Un-learn the judgements, attachments, and expectations.

Un-learn all the “shoulds”. I should… You should…

Speaking of “shoulds”, have you ever thought that excluding what’s in the law books, everything in life truly is optional?

Un-learning = Freedom. Freedom = Being Exactly Who You Are.

Un-learning is really just the act of remembering who you really are and what you already knew when you arrived.

Your personal growth process is really just the conscious decision to solely use your standard equipment and shift back to your “default setting”.

Joy. Enthusiasm. Peacefulness. Laughter. Playfulness. LOVE.

Personal growth is really just an act of remembering who you really are.

Peel back the layers of conditioning that have triggered anxiety, fear, and depression. Challenge the made-up laws, rules, and belief systems that have led you away from your true nature.

Think of any personal learning experience as an un-learning experience.

Any moment of personal growth is merely you connecting to your true nature.

To know that you’re done growing is the only true act of growth that life has to offer.

All you really must do is remember that.

Big Love,
