We are all brought into this human existence with all the ingredients necessary to make a marvelous cake. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we all tend to get a little lost. Life happens, to put it bluntly. You’re programmed from the time you’re born, and it continues throughout your life. You are programmed by your caregivers, society, school, religion, the media, and anything else you may come in contact with daily.
This programming dings your humanness; it’s hard not to cave to the expectations that are pushed on you when there are SO many people doing the pushing. The thing about your humanness is that the more you comply, the more masks you put on. You start to lose yourself in the false belief that you are small, powerless, limited, less than, and most importantly, you are not enough.
The thing that you are unaware of is that your True Self never really disappears; although you might feel as if you are losing your grip, the real you, your True Self, is still inside. Unbeknownst to you, every time you hear things like “you shouldn’t,” “you aren’t,” or “you can’t,” your True Self hangs onto your precious cake ingredients and squirrels them away. One molecule at a time, your True Self harbors the sugar, the flour, and everything in between, silently waiting for the day you are ready to break free from your programming and rediscover yourself.
In the meantime, you’re living exactly as you have been programmed to. You studied hard and got the education, the career, the partner, the McMansion, the luxury car, a furry four-legged companion, and 2.5 kids, (That .5 kid is a doozy!) But still, you wake up every morning and feel unfulfilled.
No matter how picture-perfect your life is, you still feel empty inside. You hear the tiny little voice somewhere in the back of your mind, reminding you that you have all the ingredients to make a fabulous cake. You love cake! Who doesn’t love cake? So, you meander into the gourmet kitchen, and there’s the recipe on the counter and one, yes, ONE tablespoon of flour. What the F*ck?
Your Spirit whispers to you, “Know Thyself, Do the Work!”
Oy, Vey! So it’s time to set out on your warrior’s journey, full of detours, ups and downs, and amazing highs and lows. You face your challenges head on, and use Holistic Scaffolding™ to shed all that bullsh*t programming.
Over time, what used to seem so hard and scary becomes second nature. You are beginning to come into alignment with your True Self. Finally, after what seems like forever, but in reality was just the blink of a cosmic eye, you step back into the kitchen and get ready to craft the most amazing, beautiful, and delicious cake.
As you put the finishing touches on the frosting, you pause in gratitude, and gentle tears flow down your face. You look at everything you accomplished spending time on the Holistic Scaffolding™ platform, Celebrating You, with your head held higher than you ever thought possible.
Your True Self’s voice caresses your ears, it tells you that you were not ready to share your marvelous cake, but now you are. You finally understand and need to share this beautiful creation with deep compassion and love with everyone you meet.
After a few days, the cake has been thoroughly enjoyed by many, and you want to make another one. So, you saunter into the kitchen and can’t believe your eyes. On the countertop is a new recipe and only one cup of sugar. F*ckity-Do-Dah, more work to do!
