That Which Is Repressed Will Seek Its Revenge.. on You
I heard this wise saying and I couldn't help share more about it!
There are so many ways I could say this. But the point I want to drive home is this:
Who is in the driver’s seat of your life? Is it you, or is it the five year old you? For too many people it is the five year old who is incapable of regulating his or her emotions. In the right mind, you wouldn’t want that. It would cause accidents. It would make the road an unsafe place.
Because that five year old inside is still feeling unsafe, unheard, unseen and unloved IN YOUR ADULT BODY!!
That five year old is upset, acting out and seeking revenge for not feeling heard, seen, loved and accepted for all these years!
That which is repressed will seek its revenge. ~ Osho
The truth is…
You can’t change the past.
You have no power over other people or what they did.
But what you CAN do is choose-
What the rest of your life can look like without the limitations and fears and anxieties of a five year old. You can embrace who you are meant to become in the turn around.
This is why I talk about self-love - the journey you want to go on.
It’s going to be a battle. I won’t lie. But the battle is with your ego. You’ll have to choose your peace over feeding the ego compulsively, unconsciously.
I’ll say one more thing. It has to be important to YOU.
Only then can you prioritize healing and becoming conscious.
Becoming conscious becomes important the moment another person comes into the picture. That person could be your date, your child, your spouse, a coworker, a friend.
Who you let into your circle is ultimately your choice. Make sure you include yourself first. You need you by your side because you are going to spend the most time with yourself.
It’s better for your mental and physical health if you don’t run away from yourself by indulging in compulsive behaviors such as overwork, shopping, keeping busy, over-achieving, people-pleasing, distracting yourself with TV, phones or coffee.
This is why I study my behavior and observe those around me. When you observe yourself without distractions and compulsions, you allow yourself the chance to ponder of life - over you!
