Am I too naïve? Do I see the world wrongly?
Exploring my positive, optimistic & shiny world view
I used to hear the following sentences regularly: “But Daria, this is not how the world works.” Or: “You are too naïve & optimistic, people are not like that.” Or: “It can’t be how you wish it to be.”
It happened in different occasions, came from different people, with the general tone of ‘too-good-to-be-true’ or ‘grow-up & face reality’. It never meant to harm me though, I was aware of that. And: I continued believing what I did anyways, because it was many times I heard these ;-).
So what was it that I believed? What outrageously, ridiculous thing was I upset about & couldn’t agree with? Or didn’t accept or wanted to happen? And: do I still do it now, in my mid thirties?
Yes I do :-)!!!
I still believe that we all should respect each other, that we should not treat each other badly & hurt another person.
I still believe that honesty and truth are admirable qualities.
I still believe that we also should honor other living beings.
I believe that just because we feel bad, we should not harm others as a pay back.
I condemn physical, psychological, mental and spiritual violence against anyone.
I believe that respecting, appreciating, honoring another person will make that person thrive. And: it will make the world a better place!
Does all that mean I am naïve? No, I dont think so.
Because, even if I believe all those things and try to live by them as good as I can, I know that they are not always a given for everyone. And I am a human being, so I do mistakes in these realms as well.
I know about the existence of disrespect, abuse, hurt, pain and suffering. I have also experienced some of those in my life.
But so what? Does this mean I should stop believing in my values and live by the opposites? That I should throw all my ethical and moral views overboard, just because it’s not the case in 100% of the time, for ALL the people in the world?
I don’t think so. I don’t want that either. I don’t want to live my life believing that its impossible to achieve those very basic aspects of life.
I will keep on living them as much as I can, I will keep on spreading the energy that these believes give me, because I also truly believe that it makes a positive difference to my surrounding.
We shine and radiate what we deep down in our souls believe and other humans can perceive it, they feel and experience it with their bodies and sensitive antenna they have.
We often underestimate how much of an effect we have on our surrounding. Our bodies don’t end with our skin, its not the last barrier we have. There are many other bodies that we possess, for example our emotional and mental body. Whatever is going on with our emotions or our mental state, we shine it to the outside, if we want it or not, it doesn’t matter. It is there, all the time.
We also have more “abstract” bodies like our astral or celestial body, or simply our soul. These are maybe fancy words, or weird words, I don’t even know if they are correct, but what they are is: other energetic bodies that surround us, that connect us to other people.
I assume each one of us experienced meeting a stranger and feeling a certain immediate connection, a chemistry that was there and you both got along super well. Even without knowing each other you “knew” that there is something there, difficult to describe, but clear to perceive.
Coming back to my naïve or too idealistic or optimistic believes: if I stop believing in their existence, I will change. My energetic bodies will change, I will spread the opposites of what I believe in and I will therefore attract it, and I simply don’t want that.
I will still face challenges in life, its not about being perfectly well all the time and not have troubles to go through. However, with a core that is positive and optimistic, I will manage my challenges better and dwell on them less & move through them in a more smooth way.
I have lived my life now for over 30 years and I have met many different people. Because I have been told by many of those people, I know they feel and perceive all that I just described to you from me.
I don’t have to state it, I don’t have to write down my believes, how I think and feel, I live my life accordingly & walk through the world like that, and people pick up on it and connect to me because of that.
I have had phases in my life where certain people entered & because of many different reasons, I was not at my energetic optimum at that time, and it harmed me. I harmed myself in a way, because I was not aware on how I or my invisible energetic bodies work, maybe they were weak at that point and I learned my lesson, who knows.
So, I will keep on being as naïve, optimistic, positive and idealistic as I can, with an open mind for all the opposites that exist, with a willingness to learn from them as well. But this core inside of me, I will keep it shining bright and strong, as long as I can.
Love,
Daria
In a work context, almost 5 years ago, I was told:
"You're too nice"
Simple thing to say to someone right?
The connotation however was that I let people get the better of me.
What that person didn't understand then, was that I knew that this was energy requiring of me.
I knew being kind actually takes energy from me, but I did it anyway because I saw the effect it had on others.
A kind word can have a tremendous effect on a person.
I am not always in control of this ability, but I've started to sense people's emotions better and better and react to them.
The feeling I get the most: We all need kindness and am sometimes not aware of it.
Beautiful Sunday post, D.
