There is only one You
By Lee Ann | September 24, 2008
I am accelerating the journey towards finding my Self and purpose by being a part of David Neagle’s mentor study program. I am on the verge of letting go of the baggage that my Ego wants me to hang onto, I h ave done it before and am doing it again. When I let go before in my life, amazing things showed up. When I realized that there was only one me and I was unique and special and loved myself for that (Yes, that’s a necessary component). When I did that I got a dream job of mine as talk show radio producer and I met my husband. Why didn’t I stay in that place of self-love and non-judgment if those good things were happening?
Don’t know. But, I think it’s because I let the past, my past drive my bus again. You know, that stuff that we carry around that defines us. Those, I’m not good enough feelings that were implanted years ago. Well, no more of that for me. I realize now that there is no past. If it did exist - where is it? It only exists as memories or pictures or old movies, but not in anything tangible. Here’s an analogy. You are a boat - make yourself whatever kind of boat you want - and you are on the ocean. As you move forward, behind you (the past) there is a wake. You look behind and see that the wake exists for a short time and then it just blends in with the rest of the ocean. The wake of the boat is your past. It can have only the control of your Self as you give it.
So, let it go. Let it merge with what it really is - nothing. From today forth - repeat this mantra to yourself. There is only one Me, I am unique and special and I love who I am.
You are not the third grade teacher who told you that you would never amount to anything, you are not the parent who scolded you or whatever negative events happened in the past.
You are an entirely new person, there is not even any cell of your being that is the same as when you were in the third grade (unless you are currently in the third grade!). All those cells have died and been replaced by new cells.
There is only one Me, I am unique and special and I love who I am.
Try it. And go through your day with that thought in mind. Your life will change - it has to.

So I’m not the guidance counselor who told me I’d be a failure if I didn’t sign up for academic decathlon? Yes!
