It’s pretty much impossible for people to know who
you are if you don’t express yourself. And not just
your small self, I’m talking about your Authentic
Self.
That part of you that knows your truth, that
wants life to be fulfilling, that part of you that
might just be dying to express itself.
But if you do not express that part of yourself,
then others won’t be able to see it. And you won’t
be able to see how powerful that part of you truly
is.
Many of us keep our Authentic Selves hidden (including myself)
because we are afraid that we are going to stir
the pot too much. Or that we are going to be made
wrong. Or that we are going to be judged, ridiculed
or made fun of.
Perhaps we bought into a story that one of our
parents, friends, teachers or family members told
us. Something like, “You’ll never be good at this or
that.” And so we shut down, and in that moment
we think that they are putting us in our place, but
really we are putting ourselves there by agreeing
with them.
When we show our Authentic Selves, it WILL shake
things up. Some people will applaud us. Others will
shun us. The truth about life is that we either grow
together or we grow apart.
And since we are
constantly growing spiritually if we are on the
Path, that means that some people are in our lives
for a season, or a reason or a lifetime. Celebrate
those that you can journey with; they will be there
for your whole life. And don’t be afraid to let go
of those folks who aren’t growing with you,
sometimes it’s best to Love certain people from
afar. And that’s okay too.
The thing that we want to keep our minds set on is
expressing our Authentic and Loving Selves.
This takes work. This WILL rock the boat, and this is
probably the most important decision we could ever
make in our lives. Because everything else revolves
around how we see ourselves and then, as a result,
how others see us.
If you aren’t seeing your ideal life manifesting
around you, ask yourself, “What do I REALLY
believe about me and what’s possible in my life?”
“Am I expressing my Truth?” “Am I showing others
who I REALLY am, or am I living a lie to get
approval or Love?”
Stay true .stay blessed
