Complete – Completed

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 6:09 am

I am being drawn to draw a distinction between “Complete” and “Completed.”

The first distinction is that we are all complete. That means we have all we need to be whole right now.

The second distinction is that we have uncompleted missions that help us discover that we are already complete.

It’s one thing to say we’re complete; it’s another thing to know it without reservation.

Knowing we are complete takes a bit of completeness boot camp.

There are certain things that need to be completed before we know we are complete.

Here is a partial list:

  1. Know you are not your thoughts.
  2. Know you are deeper than anything you claim to be.
  3. Stop arguing for your limitations.

The biggest obstacle to uncovering our completeness is divorcing ourselves from the thoughts in our head. That doesn’t mean eradicating and not visiting with those thoughts; it just means to live in separate houses now, just like you did before you were married.

At one time, we had no thoughts in our head, yet we were perfectly functioning human beings, albeit a bit smaller and smellier. Then we collected a bunch of thoughts and concepts that started to shape who we have come to believe we are. You are no more your thoughts than you were before you had them. Who were you before you had thoughts? You were complete.

Thinking is a wonderful thing; we just aren’t the things we think about. We are separate and apart from those thoughts.

Finding the depth beneath your thoughts will have you lay claim to a new identity – one that doesn’t have parameters shaped by thoughts. You can think from now until the time that you can no longer think and never figure out who you are. That task takes an absence of thinking. You can’t think your way to being complete.

We need a time out from our thinking in order to discover our depth, our completeness. To reshape a phrase from the orange growers: “A day without mind calming is a day without sunshine.” Find a way to calm your mind and make it a daily ritual. It helps you complete your path to completeness.

Finally, stop telling people who you aren’t. That’s just another way of attempting to be your thoughts. Even when you define yourself as not being something, you limit yourself by being that label. Thoughts about who you aren’t, are thought about limitation, which just keep you in the thinking mode and incomplete.

Above is a list of things to complete, and when you do, you’ll have three less things to think about and know you are complete.

 

All the best,

John
