THE NOISE OF THE GROWTH INDUSTRY

Apr 25, 2023

Dear Soul, I have an unpopular question to ask…

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲” 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲?

I certainly am…

Because of the nature of my work and the algorithms of social media, my feeds are constantly delivering content that is pushing on me the illusion that somehow, I should be getting somewhere I am not…

This promised “somewhere” is always bigger, better, faster and utterly more special than my real and ordinary life…

And even though I am not buying into these noisy spiritual shenanigans, I find it exhausting to bump into these kinds of messages all the time.

If right now you are just like me, your precious Soul is not even interested in shooting for its “highest potential” or its “best life”.

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡…

Longing for a space where it can “BE AS IS” rather than chasing after the illusion of growth and the promise of “another self” than the one existing in this present moment..

So, in the jungle of inspirational posts you will read today, I just wanted to remind you that it is completely OK to shoot for BEING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, AS IS.
