I vs A part of me

Why 'I' ? Why not 'a part of me?'
Remember the Macro holds the Micro.

Karen said,"I don’t get it. I just don’t understand."

'I' …Karen is where you have to began to change. Moving out of this limiting perspective. Sure you can get it ! Parts of your self don’t get it but they will come along.

All you need is to get one part and then the next part will come together then the next. That is why in our language that we use with our self and others the shift from the words, 'I' to 'a part of me' can make such a difference.

For example: I am not worth anything after telling that lie to my parents. Well that is not true. Sure it was not a good idea to tell a lie but there are lots of parts of you that want to tell the truth. When we say the part of myself that told a lie is not worth anything, then we have other parts of self that can jump in and do some loving on the part of self than needs that support. In someways that is why a team work, works. We experience parts of self working as a whole.


What does 'all the parts of me' mean?


Do you ever feel like your 16 years old?


Today I have a women in my life that I have kissed. It used to be a want. I kept looking for a moment, an excuse to kiss her.

The whole time I was waiting, I felt like I was 16 years old. That is a part of me. I am kind of a slow mover but before she went home I gave her a kiss.

The moment I kissed her I really felt being all of 16. Then 16 year old, then felt 21 year old and then present time man (all the parts of me) came together for that first good night kiss.

Each part of us is just alive as it was when we were that age. Time is an illusion not the experience of being a child. Be all you can be by staying out of 'I' zone when things are not working. It is only a part that is not working... Then there is all that is working. Sometimes even that is hard to see but soon when you move from I to parts of me you will see how big you really are as a human being.

Thanks, Gary
