I am supported 
Many people have a story about not being supported. This perceived lack of support could be by a significant other, a parent, a boss, a friend, an upline, or even God.
But is this story accurate?
We will always find evidence that supports our view point. And in that process, we will ignore evidence that does not support our point of view. So, which are we searching for – evidence of being supported or evidence of not being supported?
Another factor in the “not being supported” story is that we can easily get caught up in our preconceived notions of how it is supposed to look. And then when it doesn’t look that way, we decide that across the board, “I am not supported!”
For example: Let’s say that your significant other doesn’t support your business the way that you think they should or would like them to. You then focus on this and decide that “I am clearly not being supported. I’m on my own.”
This becomes your truth. And it that moment you cannot see all the other ways that your significant other does support you. You also become blind to all the support that comes to you from other people.
So, if you catch yourself telling the “I’m not supported” story, know that you are lying. Then start looking for evidence of all the ways you are being supported. – Or you could just fall into the dark pit of self-pity. You get to choose.
Much Love,
