You Get To Have A “BOTH” Life

Original Post: Shamina Taylor Facebook

You can’t have both.

You have to choose.

It’s one OR the other.

I was having a discussion with someone over the weekend and they said I would rather be wealthy, have experiences in life, and not buy things.

Cool.

You don’t want both.

That is your prerogative.

Not me. I want ALL of it.

I see posts all the time talking about this.

Where people proclaim, I would rather spend my money enjoying life. Having vacations then things.

It’s like there is a belief if you choose one you cannot have the other. And if you wanted the “things” it would make you a bad person or greedy.

I want BOTH.

I know I can have both, so I want both.

Both are available.

If you believe you can only have one, then yes there is a painful choice to be made.

Whatever we assign meaning to is what we get.

I personally don’t feel we have to choose.

I can have BOTH.

I believe it is both.

Both is expansive, which means there are no limits.

OR mentality = You can’t have both. So you need to choose.

NOW, I know I can have whatever it is I desire.

So I don’t need to choose.

So many are taught at a young age, pick one. You only get one little Susie, don’t be greedy.

And as a child, you want both.

But you are taught very early this isn’t a “both” life.

Why?

Because we don’t want them to be entitled or think life can come easy.

*Insert struggle mentality*

It’s to keep them humble so they know in order to be successful they need to work hard REALLY HARD.

YET…

The majority of the women who I mentor don’t have the expansiveness of both even though they are the most hardworking women you will ever meet (p.s. handwork doesn’t equally wealthy).

In fact, they limit themselves so much that what they do is NEVER enough.

So they never know how expansive they can be, or life can be. Because they resort back to the OR mentality, not both.

Their mindset is…

Only if I need it, only if it is necessary.

Rarely just because they desire it.

They don’t feel deserving of both.

And I know some will justify when they don’t want both and say….

‘It just doesn’t excite me.’

Really?

Or are you just limiting yourself justifying why you are settling for OR.

I am here to tell you….

You can have both if you choose both.

MORE IS COMING!

Allow yourself to feel it all.

Feeling every emotion as it comes will lead you to your success.

What if we decided our feelings meant something. They weren’t something to be ashamed over. It wasn’t a weakness. But it was real. Things we felt deep in our souls.

What if it was ok to be mess. To be in pain and to feel it. Let it pass through us instead of pretending we didn’t feel and letting the pain stay stuck within us. What if it wasn’t all considered a weakness? But a strength to feel the discomfort.

Why are we acting so tough?

What good does that do for us?

It only protects our ego. Because it doesn’t nurture our hearts and souls. It keeps us stuck. In a battle we aren’t winning.

We are so afraid to love or show love and that’s what we are made of, pure love. And it’s ironic. As much as we try to fight what we feel with our minds and our preconceived ideas of what must be, we end up feeling anyway. Even if we think we have it under control we don’t.

Even if we try to halt those emotions. They are still in play. Showing up in places we didn’t choose. Because everything we try to ignore or hide will always have a way of manifesting in some form with or without our knowing.

The feeling is the awareness and it is so crucial to us not letting the past affect us or our hold us back from what we truly know and want to do in this life.

So what if we just allowed ourselves to feel….anything we need to because it’s what we need to feel.

If it’s love. Feel it. It will heal you. Make you happy. It won’t hurt you. An emotion so pure as that, is what we live for.

If it’s sadness and pain. Feel it. Let it pass. So you can empower yourself from the past and make room for more love to enter you❤️😘
