Authenticity...BE authentic....Can you BE authentic,....BE you... be yourself... In all situations...? but, WHO ARE YOU? Do you know?...hmmmmm...
Do I? Who do I WANT to be? Who do people THINK I am?
AM I THAT person....and when other's are disappointed in you,.. ARE THEY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU,... or do they see you as a mirror and they are really, DISAPPOINTED IN THEMSELVES?
The beginning of this blog post was from late June 2020, It is now Aug. 31, 2020, I decided to add a few thoughts....
My son came home from school today and we discussed a question that a teacher asked of his class ( 10th grade)..The inquiry was more or less this:
Are people more motivated by FEAR?
OR... Are people motivated by....HOPE?
It is truth, that most people are more motivated by fear...
How do we shift this habitual paradigm? Well,...As human beings, it is my belief that we are constantly seeking outwardly for things like approval, questioning ourselves in comparison to others, and looking outside for obvious answers that are within. So much of the Yoga practice is not about more but less. The practice of Yoga is unraveling,...as we release past suffering and let go of the masks that we have worn, the TRUE YOU shines through!
It took time to create who we are TODAY,.. and therefore, it also takes time to unravel some of the "mysteries" that lead us to where we currently stand. By this, I jest a bit, we have simply 'FORGOTTEN' who we are and our "work" is to soften those outer layers, dissolve the outer, protective layers, so that your
It took time to create who we are TODAY,.. and therefore, it also takes time to unravel some of the "mysteries" that lead us to where we currently stand. By this, I jest a bit, we have simply 'FORGOTTEN' who we are and our "work" is to soften those outer layers, dissolve the outer, protective layers, so that your inner light...
can once again shine.
The journey inward is not easy but,... it is simple...Slowing down and "sitting"
with yourself in meditation can be a lovely way to simply observe WHERE you are,... WHO you are? Reach out for support, but look inward into your heart. 💓
Go slowly and be kind with yourself,... take walks outside, surround yourself with beauty, and as you close your eyes, take a deep breath and consider that the walls created around you were built by an amazing being, someone who, over time, needed protection in some way to feel safe. But, now, the time is here for you to peak up over those walls, ... look around and then, take another deep breath and REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! That amazing being who built those walls that hold you back,... can also break through or jump right over them for peace and freedom.
.
So,... LIVE,... WITHOUT FEAR! Be your best you!
Take a chance on yourself!
May all beings be HAPPY AND free,... may YOUR thoughts, words and actions contribute to the well-being of all!
and my own personal family motto: GO BIG OR GO HOME!
