Another thing that I've learned so far in my journey is "to do nothing without intention". This is the basis behind bringing anything to fruition that not only applies to your spiritual endeavors but also in your everyday personal life.
Last year, someone made a point in distinguishing the difference between the emotionally unavailable and the emotionally overwhelmed. However, I don't believe that there is an actual difference. Maybe not now, but not yet. When it came to building my self awareness, one of those epiphanies showed up to me in a way that revealed how much that I actually hurt people even though it was never my intention to. For the longest time, I prided myself in being that reliable person in other people's lives, even if it meant overextending myself. I couldn't really tell back then if people deserved to have me in that way but I wasn't really concerned about that, I just know that my kind of devotion "worked". What I didn't know is that I shouldn't have seen my value by what I could do for others and that I was never supposed to be everything that someone wanted me to be, it was kind of arrogant to think such. I had no choice but to experience what it was like to not be available all of the time when I'm clearly not in the position to, I had to show others that I'm not perfect through my unavailability. The people that didn't deserve my presence or took it for granted, revealed themselves once they found out that they couldn't have me whenever they wanted, and for that I'm so grateful.
Many people want to be a healer nowadays, which is why it's important for them to understand the power of intention. Are they pure? Or are they based in your ego? Do you do it for the attention? Do you do it for the following? Do you do it for the money? Do you do it for the aesthetic? What is your purpose in this field?
