Be a Witnessing Presence

Published on Jul 15, 2025 • 3 Min read


Life is inherently perfect. It flows with its own intelligence, weaving growth, change, and evolution pattern — much like nature itself. The real turbulence begins when our perceptions distort the purity of life's flow, creating unnecessary drama. When we live as an observer, we realise that what we see outside is just a mirror to what we hold within. Depending on our perspective, both love and conflict, are projected onto the outside world.

True leadership occurs in taking action that is aligned with the inner self. The conflict in living like a witness occurs when we get caught in the sense of ‘doership’ or ego, and forget our true identity as pure consciousness. Thinking endlessly about “what ifs” and “what's next” traps us into cycles of fear and hesitation and limits us from expressing our true selves. Fear and lack of clarity cause a misalignment between our thoughts, feelings, intentions, and actions. When we realise that we are pure consciousness, the conviction cuts through confusion like a sword, and we are able to act with a balance of compassion and courage. Living with awareness helps us detach from our perceptions and act authentically .This marks the beginning of the journey of self-transformation.

When we act from a space of pure love, we pave the way for transformation and possibility. It takes time to develop the resilience and faith to trust and articulate the inner truth. As my awareness has expanded, I am able to identify patterns quickly and trust my inner voice. However, I have to be patient to find the right time and language to take action that works for the larger good. When I am impatient, insistent, resistant or emotional, I know that I have once again lost sight of my true identity. It takes heightened awareness and discipline to shed the expectations for outcomes and act consistently in alignment with pure love.

Nature shows us the ultimate wisdom: seasons change effortlessly. No season questions its role. Each plays its role in the larger design. When we live life like a witness, observing change without resistance, we can partner with the deep rhythm of life. Resilience grows naturally as we flow with change. Leading oneself first, with trust, authenticity, and presence, is the cornerstone of leading others. Life demands leadership from within. When we stop overcomplicating and start witnessing, we experience an inner freedom and abundance no circumstance can steal.

When we remember our true identity as pure consciousness, we step beyond fear and align our actions with love. For more on embracing your true essence, read Embrace Your True Identity.

In every moment, remember:

  • Life is perfect in every moment.
  • Perceptions create the drama, not leadership.
  • Action conquers over-analysis.
  • Live as a witness to dance with life’s seasons.
