Voids Demand to Be Filled
Our tendency as humans to fill in voids creates a far greater impact than we believe or even realize.
We so often fill in empty spaces within various aspects of our lives to have our world make sense and find comfort in the “certain.” Oftentimes, though, these fillers may be false, not fit into the space provided, or are wrong for us, yet we accept them as the opposing.
Whatever we narrow our focus on, it becomes greater than what it is.
When we focus on a gap within any area of our lives, it becomes weighed far heavier than need be.
For example: When we focus on everything we don’t have. We create a void between what we obtain vs. what others obtain causing this gap to hold a great importance to us.
Subconsciously, we will become insecure and dissatisfied with what we do obtain.
One of the salient voids we often tend to is the need for a significant other. We oftentimes accentuate to ourselves that we need someone to be our “better half” and/or be the final piece of ourselves.
Again, our subconscious is being told something beyond this belief: that there is a void that demands to be filled.
With this scenario, we will eagerly attempt to fill this void causing us to become blinded to or ignore what may be wrong for us.
Filling voids is fairly automatic to us, almost as much as it is insidious.
Throughout my self-growth journey, I’ve always narrowed my focus on the gap between who I embodied currently vs. who I was striving to embody. This created an insecure and self-absorbed persona as I subconsciously rejected the current I and deemed it as not enough.
I’d always judge and critique my actions/words as they were never up to par with what I projected them to be. I never trusted myself to act and speak freely with what I have learned; I always had to control it in a restricted manner.
I neglected the void that was of greater value; the one I created from who I used to be vs. who I embodied today.
With a void prominent in any area of our lives, we must acknowledge its existence and utilize it as motivation in lieu of comparison.
Along with motivation, we must accept what we currently obtain and be clear of what we truly desire from filling in the void.
Comparison will merely bring you to settle for pieces that do not belong in your puzzle.
