Yes that’s right, sometimes I feel like I don’t belong.
Now don’t get me wrong. I know that I belong. I have long ago worked through my issues and beliefs of not belonging, being unwanted and not fitting in.
I know deeply in my core that I belong simply because I exist. That I belong because I am connected to everything through God the Universe. I have a family to which I belong. A professional industry, circle of friends, acquaintances, social media spheres, special interest groups and there’s my gym buddies. Yes I belong.
But sometimes in the midst of all this belonging I feel that I don’t belong.
It’s a deeper root.
I look around at all of my connections and engagement and sometimes I feel out of step or out of tune with everyone. I feel in my belonging that I don’t belong with the very people I connect with.
It’s interesting because it is during these times that I look around and realize that there are many others who are also “connected” who feel like they don’t belong.
Is this resonating with you? Do you get my drift?
I know many of you do because if you are a reader of this blog then at times I am sure you have felt exactly the same way.
In fact you are the ones I am addressing because it is during these times when I feel I don’t belong, that I look around and notice all of these other people I connect with who also feel like they don’t belong.
And in that noticing I realize that we all belong together in our feeling of not belonging.
In fact I have dubbed us the Not Belonging Club which is an oxymoron because as members of this club we belong. 😉
And that’s the beauty of life. Because we are all connected as spirit we all belong. Even when we feel like we don’t belong.
Hands up whose in the club?
~Love, Esther

*Waving Hand* I completely resignate with this Post – thank you for reminding me in some way i do belong – as well as I am doing now i have a feeling of not belonging – not as successful as so many are and the reasons go on.
I am reflecting now through this post that it is okay- thank-you Esther for bringing me this connection , xo
Keep reflecting Sandra..the more I read this post the more I see so many deep layers to it. I’m even surprising myself. Welcome to the club!

Totally get it. I had more of a comment, but it didn’t quite fit (ironicly..)

I totally understand. (you do a great job of hiding these feelings, btw) . Much of the time, I feel like I’m in a fish out of water. It doesn’t come across, but I seem to be out of place and wandering on the outside. Maybe that’s how we all feel?
Mara –you put it well…wandering on the outside. I have a strong belief that I belong, but sometimes in the midst of that belonging I look around and think I don’t. lol

I felt that way for years!!! For sooooo long, I thought what am I doing wrong? Why don’t “they” like me, or accept me? Then one day, with the help of a good friend I realized I do!!!! I have every right to “be there”! I do belong where ever I choose to be! I have come to the realization that if some people don’t like me, that’s their loss! I am deserving of, well, everything!!!!
I still do at times get those feelings, and I usually get get thru them with a quick chat to myself, reassuring myself that I do belong, I am deserving, etc…. take a deep breath, and dive in!!!
I love that Lisa!

this is cool, i was at one of your channelling sessions, and i brought this up to the tribunal, and they told me that i had lost my way, but i still belonged…still working on that
Keep working on it Rob because knowing at your very core that you belong — is crucial.
