The case of Mistaken Identity.
For many years I was a mouse.
I huddled in the background wondering when I would dare to race out and grab that piece of cheese.
I would see the local cats cruise by taking what they wanted and enjoying life to the full.
These cats were a threat. They had more power than me.
After watching behind the shadow of the door long enough, I would make a dash for the food.
If I was lucky I’d get the prize and dash back to my sanctuary until it was time to try again.
A very piecemeal existence.
After a while I observed that the cat would saunter in, ask for what she wanted, and get it effortlessly. Why couldn’t I do that?
I started to study what the cat did, notice the traits and skills she had and still wondered why I couldn’t do that.
One day, after an unsuccessful foray to get food, I stumbled across a mirror.
What I saw in that mirror amazed me. Although the creature was a little disheveled, it was not who I thought it would be. There was no mouse in the mirror. The reflection I saw was a fully grown, energetic, curious CAT.
All this time I was hiding behind the door thinking I was a poor timid mouse when all along I was a strong, intuitive cat. How could I have been so mistaken?
We often get stuck in images of ourselves that are not necessarily true. Most times this comes from input we received as a child. The truth is that you are an adult now and can leave behind the false messages of childhood.
It’s time to step into your true identity and take your place in the world.
