Uncover Your Raw Power

by Di Russell

When I learned that the energy that powers me up - the life in me - is only well-being I became very curious.

If I was so full of 'well-being energy' why was I experiencing so much low self esteem, doubt, fear,...a long list of things that felt anything BUT well-being?

The answers that came reminded me of the kitchen floor in my first-ever home. The house was old, timber-frame, fibro walls, leaking roof, really in need of some TLC. 

The kitchen was so tiny, I could turn around and reach everything in it. And the flooring was nothing short of disgusting. It was a thin, dark patterned carpet, buckled in places and threadbare in others.

When the carpet was removed, the very raw, unfinished Jarrah timber floorboards were revealed. 

OMGoodness! I still remember how excited I felt! NOTHING in this house looked glamorous or modern...and here, hidden away, were the most beautiful floor boards - albeit they needed to be brought to life. 

Once they were sanded and lacqured, they were SOOO beautiful!!!! Deep colours of golden and brown hues and when the sun shone in on them they just danced with beauty.

What had appeared to be the most disgusting part of this house, became the very thing that made my heart so full of joy - every day.

We are like that kitchen floor. The very foundation of us - the Life in us - is so solid, strong and beautiful. But it can often go unnoticed, having been covered over with all that the journey of life has brought us. 

When you get to the stage where you're so done putting up with the things in life that really bring you down, it's time to get curious. 

Ask; Who am I really? What's underneath all 'this'?

The truth is - there is a solid, strong and beautiful you, waiting to be noticed and uncovered. It might still be raw, and it's definitely unfinished. 

The true life in you IS only well-being. The question is are you ready to notice it and bring it to life?

You always have enough power to carry what's yours
There’s something I’ve come to trust deeply. You always have enough power to carry what’s yours. If you’ve ever felt flat, stretched, or emotionally heavy it’s rarely because you’re weak or lacking power. More often, it’s because you’re carrying more than what’s yours to hold. Recently, a friend of mine - now a new mum herself - read about a young woman who had passed away, leaving behind a hus...
Tired of Effort as a Lifestyle?
There’s a question I’ve been sitting with lately. What if wealth - all the good you want to experience in life - doesn’t respond to effort…but to openness? We’re so conditioned to believe that if we just try harder, push more, stay on top of things, then life will finally open up and deliver for us. And yes - doing does have its place. But it’s not what you do that life responds to.Life doesn’t...
