Focus on who you are, not the “meatsuit” you wear

A meatsuit is a spiritual term Native Americans use for the body. Native Americans understood very well that a person isn’t the body they wear. It was what was inside a person, their essence or their soul, that mattered. If you start to see the world this way, it will give you a mind shift that will profoundly affect your life.

Because

– It helps you connect with a deeper and larger part of yourself—your essence—which is where your authenticity lies

– It brings you deeper into yourself because you start to identify with what really matters: your essence

– It allows you to stand tall and live from within

– You will no longer see yourself through the lens of age, gender, color and ethnicity because you realize that these are all superficial differentiations

– And best of all, it will give you compassion towards others who still don’t see the world this way, because you’ll remember that you were once as ignorant as they.
