But even if you were with us, you could run through this again, at a deeper level and then take it further with PART 3, which we did not do at our meeting.
There are several dimensions in your hesitance to show up as your real and best self. One of these dimensions belongs back in Agreement 1 (Live Life Intentionally): As a matter of weakened character and poor habits, we simply fail to drag ourselves from our mediocrity toward excellence.
The two other dimensions belong here, with Mahana.
This week, in the course of everyday life, your challenge is to turn up your awareness to these dimensions. Notice Mahana. She's in there.
The reason I describe the above examples as "comprised" versions of yourself is that each example puts you first, rather than fully showing up for a loved one or associate in the way he or she needs.
To some degree, you may be testing loved ones by withholding the best version of yourself to see if he or she will love you "as you are."
Deep inside is this: "If he or she loves me even though I ________________, I must be truly lovable.
Without realizing it, rather than coming through for loved ones in your excellence, you've tested them in your compromise.
Fill in the blank: "If he or she loves me even though I __________, I must be truly lovable." What is this for you?
Make some notes. Be prepare to share in Part 3.
