My Really BIG Want

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Ginette

Yesterday I shared about where I am now in my life. I didn’t cover everything but I did cover what is at the forefront of my life at this time. It feels like the next step is to look at what I want. I feel that this is a very important exercise. Voicing what I want is the first step to making my wants realities. It is pretty hard to get what I want if I don’t know what I want in the first place.

My big want, my really BIG want, is to journey back home to the core of who I am and ground myself there. I want to find peace and that is where I will find it. I know. I do visit that place on occasion. For some reason, though, I seem to keep on pulling out. Never staying long enough to ground myself there. I weave in and out of my own life, my own self and that is a frustrating habit. Because I know where I want to be but I feel like I’m never there. I know that if I could only ground myself there, once and for all, many of my other wants would instantly take care of themselves. I know this for sure. The challenges I face are my way of keeping myself from being present to myself. What I am so afraid of? Why won’t I allow myself this peace? Why do I keep on sabotaging myself?

It’s simple, really. I hold beliefs about myself that makes it impossible for me to allow my deeper wants, my important wants, to become realities. ‘I’m not deserving’… ‘I’m not worth it’… ‘I’m not good enough’… These are some of the beliefs that I have had with me for a very, very, very long time.

As I write this, I realize that these beliefs don’t have as tight a reign on me as they used to. I think this is why I am where I am in my life right now. I sense myself being more open to receiving from those who love me, from the Universe, from my wise and rooted self. Isn’t that awesome! This gives me hope. This excites me. I’m on my way home. I am. And there is no better place than home!

    I see you, I hear you. I hold those same beliefs about myself, some days I feel the grip loosening.

    You are deserving, You are enough, You are worth it!

    Ginette,
    YES! This! The letting go of not being good enough, the needing to pause and figure out what it is we actually want!

    It really is a spiral path and you definitely know how to walk it, I loved reading this piece and feeling that aha moment towards the end, your writing conveys so much emotion.

      Thank you Rachel for your sweet words. Yes it is a spiral path! One thing I like to remind myself after the path of the spiral is that it not only goes in but it most go out as well. I think it is part of life, this in and out.

Welcome… welcome… welcome! I’m so glad you have found your way to my little corner in the great big sea of cyberland! My name is Ginette Vallières D’Silva. I dwell in the city of Edmonton in beautiful Canada with my sweet and wise husband and best friend of 23 years, Evan. I’m the mother of a 27 years old incredible young man, Chris, who I’m over the moon proud of just for who he is. I’m newly ‘retired’. I love all that grounds me: art, reading, writing, cooking, homemaking, hosting, deep chat with like minded people, to name a few.
