We all look to find that feeling of completeness in some way or another. We seek to fulfill ourselves in life through the things we do. It may be what we do in our career, our relationships, or our health. There is an expectation that, when we reach a certain outcome in those areas of life, we feel complete.

I know this because I used to do exactly that. I would strive to achieve certain ways in which my life should look in those areas. Once I had enough money, the right relationship, and my body looked a certain way, then I would feel complete. The feeling of completeness meant I would be happy, content, and at peace.

Ironically, no matter how much money I made, how perfect my partner may have been, or how fit and hot my body got, that feeling of completeness was only a temporary experience. I would always reach a point of—let’s say—balance. But then there was always more to do. Or one of those areas would change on me. There I was back again, trying to work things out, or simply work my butt off to bring it all back into balance so I felt complete again.

Then, I realized something: If I made feeling complete and what that meant to me was all about the external areas of my life, well I was never going to truly be complete.

How could I? If completeness was a ‘feeling’, how could I ever define it based on things that will always shift and change? How could I limit myself to such small thinking!?

So I started to let go of the things I thought made me feel complete. Instead, I dived into the feeling. Eventually, I noticed it all came down to who I was being.

I noticed how much space all those thing I thought were causing me to feel complete were actually taking up. Nothing compared to depth of feeling when I made it about who I was being.

I brought my attention back to myself. I, then, realized something else: I had been complete all along. I didn’t lack anything or need something in order for me to feel complete.

In truth, we are already whole. We are one beautiful, happy, joyful and fulfilling essence just as we are. The real work is letting go of the idea that we aren’t already complete and the need to seek for it in what we do or have in life.

Love now, wholly and completely, whats to wait for?
