You just gave words to the questions that have been on my mind as well!! I love it.
How can I be less of a people-pleaser but stay agreeable?
How can I keep showing up in practices that matter and stay detached enough to let things unfold?
How much is luck versus wise decision making and how do I make peace with not knowing?
Especially the people-please vs agreeable.. sometimes I even wonder if it is not more interesting to be disagreeable/confrontational? I do think that being a people-pleaser makes me a bit boring. But it also makes me easy to get along with if that makes sense.
And very curios about the question on being in the arena vs noticing the arena.. what are your thoughts on that?
Aww Nathalie I am glad they resonate! Our minds are certainly thinking alike. And good point about wanting to be less agreeable but like you, that is what makes me more chill and easy to get along with so I’d rather not lose that but I would like to be “less agreeable”
As for being in the arena vs noticing it, in other words, I am thinking about Michael Singer and how he surrendered and let life unfold and doing downstream of invitations from life vs a more Tony Robbin/ Jesse Itzler approach of seizing life and going upstream to force breakthrough and make an intention happen no matter what. It’s sort of an exploration for me of how much upstream vs downstream do I want? Yin vs yang? Listening vs speaking/ shaping into existence?
