M for Me to We. The A to Z of Conscious Living
The greatest experience of life is as a result of moving our focus from ‘Me’ to the ‘We’.
‘Me to We’ is another great saying by Richard Wilkins, founder of Broadband Consciousness, and simply means that when we do what we do for the greater good of others, we get the best rewards.
In fact it is in moving our focus to ‘we’ that we often find our purpose or message that we are here to share. Very often that message requires us to step out of our comfort zone in order to share it with the world and this can create a fear within us. If we were to stay in the ‘me’ this fear would overwhelm us and keep us small and by keeping ourselves safe the message goes nowhere.
However when we understand the impact we could have on the ‘we’ if we did get out there and share then we know we need to get our message heard. The message itself becomes greater than the fear and when this happens we move to the ‘we’.
For Richard this message is very clear. When you hear his story (check out the next Recharge Day to listen to him personally share this) you will understand what almost killed him. They call it suicide, but it comes down to the little voice in our heads that convince us this is the only option we have. Richard was able to overcome that voice and is now on a mission to speak up to help others who find themselves in the same place that he was. His message (that he knows a better way) is bigger than his fear (of speaking publically) and that moves him from the ‘me’ (his fear) to the ‘we’ (helping others) – and he knows this as people have told him that his message saved them from doing it..
Whether we clearly understand our purpose or not, we will have an underlying inkling that has come from our own life experiences about what we are here to do. A great line in ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is “there are no mistakes” and for me that means everything we have experienced so far has been on purpose and is in fact perfect for the job of getting you to where you are in your life right now. Whether or not it is clear to you right now, know that your journey is unfolding as it should.
For many of us there has been setbacks, challenges and hardships amongst the happier times and they have been for the purpose of creating our experience, and it is in that experience that we find the message we need to share for the benefit of the greater good; the ‘we’.
Another one from ‘Kung Fu Panda’… “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it”
