The Truth of the Matter
Never mind being honest with our partners, our family, our friends or colleagues; for some reason the person we most struggle to be honest with is our self. In this day and age it seems that most of us are skilled in the art of tactful self avoidance.
If we admit what we want it might mean actually having to act on it. Many of us would prefer to avoid our ‘truths’ than to think about the possibility that we may fail in achieving them. What we forget is that the only way of living the lives we dream about is to walk the path of self truth.
Many of us tell ourselves we’re actually not allowed to be honest with ourselves. I often hear people saying “How can I admit to my partner I need some alone time when the kids…” or “If I say no, I won’t be loved anymore” This brings us to the real issue in question; do you feel you’re worth it? The “thruth” is how can you not?
If you recognise that you are a divine being worthy of love, happiness and living your dreams just as each and every one of us are, you won’t be afraid of the truth. Instead you may begin to embrace it and without even trying you will begin to see your life change for the better.
And so I leave you with this, one of my favourite quotes;
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
