The only things that ever hold us back are ourselves, and more often than not, our commitments are avoided and our dreams and ambitions put on hold because we do not feel that we are worthy of them. And where this is the case, we’re also very good at deluding ourselves into believing we never had those dreams in the first place:-

1. well, I never wanted a white wedding anyway
   
2. money’s not important so I don’t want it
   
3. I’m happy renting a flat, why on earth do I want to own a house?
   
4. I’m happy not having the job where I earn loads of money
   
5. I AM happy in the relationship I’m in – he / she really is what I’ve always wanted… (not meaning to be rude to “he” and “she”!).
   

This is all great if you’re genuinely happy and don’t want those other things(!), except the problem for most of us is, that when we were 5, 10, 13 maybe even 15 (remember the ages when pure, undiluted thoughts came from your ‘higher self'? - before expectations of others and yourself moulded you into rights and wrongs?) we did want those things! And it was never a question of greed or pride – it was about self worth and recognition:-

I want to earn the money because I’m worth it; I want the beautiful, white, wedding dress because I want to be recognised for who I am, for all those things I don’t allow myself to want or be anymore because, well, there are other things, which are just as good … really, they are just as good …

So did you change your values for the better? - because you believed you were worth more than the things you wanted (why on earth would you want them in the first place then?) or did you change your values because you didn’t believe you were worth what you wanted?

It’s food for thought and worth thinking on as most of us know at least one person who falls into the above category, and I (just as almost every complementary health therapist I know) have certainly not been immune to questions of self-worth, the famous “poverty-consciousness” and the willing self-delusion that comes as a result of it. If you find yourself fitting the above category at any time, try taking a course of Wild Oat (Bach Flower Remedies) for a couple of weeks and you may just find yourself with realigned priorities and back on your “physical-world / material path”, on the way to manifesting those pure, undiluted dreams that form an all-important part of who you are.
