Sometimes, even though you don’t need it, giving yourself permission to not have all the answers and to just be in the messiness of life while you continue to learn, grow, evolve and unlearn all in one, is just what you need.
Which is why I created my own philosophy.
To simply serve as a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out, there’s always more to learn and all that you are is exactly what the world needs.
This philosophy then?
Nereedaology.
And yes, I did use my name…
I mean, why not? I reckon it sounds pretty cool.
And also, we’re playing the game of life here, may as well have some fun with it!
So anyhoo, here’s where it stands at the moment—because, of course, once you read it, it makes sense that it will grow and evolve over time.
In a nutshell…
Nereedaology is a living, breathing framework and philosophy driven by continuous growth, expansion, refinement and the exploration of different ideas and perspectives. Grounded in open-mindedness, simplicity and the space to build, form and enhance stable foundations, this philosophy exists to allow for knowing and not knowing all in one. To hold the paradox of it all while having the capacity to teach, learn, embody, unlearn, refine and grow all at the same time.
It isn’t set in stone. It doesn’t get all the answers from one book. One modality. One person. One thing. It simply allows for the mystery and magic of all that is, meets people where they’re at, trusts the timing, itself and the ever-expanding unfolding of life.
Heck, maybe it’s really just a permission slip for understanding life, let’s be honest!
And by no means is this finished or wrapped up in a bow by the way.
Which is kind of the point.
It doesn’t need to be.
And it can’t be anyway.
We’re always evolving.
If we choose to, anyway.
I’ve also been playing with some key words and other thoughts that blend with said philosophy which currently include but are not limited to…

I’m sure there’s more that will come in—or not, there’s no rules here.
It gets to be whatever it gets to be.
So wherever this may lead or evolve into, here’s the thing…
Neither you nor I can know it all.
We just can’t.
On some level at the source of creation, well sure, no doubt we’ve got it covered.
Here though?
Well, we’re each here to learn from each other, ourselves and from life as we go.
To deepen our knowledge,
To trust our intuition.
And to express ourselves in the only way we can.
AND… to not get caught up in thinking we’re not good enough, don’t know enough or need to be “ready” before we do the damn thing!
Crikey! If we wait ‘til then, we might be waiting for a looong time.
So… maybe it’s time to be ok with not having all the pieces of the puzzle quite in place yet, to stop forcing things and to allow for everything to come together in the most magical ways while following the whisper of your soul.
Because as the ol’ saying goes, “if not now, then when?”
Feels like the right time, don’t you think!?
Anyhoo, that’s where the philosophy sits right now.
Feel free to use it or create your own!
And if you have any other words, thoughts or insights to add, please share away in the comments—would love your input on this!
‘Til next time, stay awesome.
Big love,
Nereeda X
