WHO IS THE TRUE YOU?
Many seem to be happy, yet inside are crying deep tears of sorrow. Many are confused, yet go out of their way to pretend to be fully understanding of issues they know nothing about. Why is this?
One reason is fear that it will be known that one is not perfect. Sadness is considered to be weak; lack of knowledge is considered to be a sign of ignorance, so we put on costumes and masks to hide what is going on inside. We have become so engrained with these thoughtforms, that over time, we believe the scenarios we have created. There is an adage, “What you believe, you will become.” There is much truth in this, for when your emotions are aligned with the scenarios you are role-playing, it becomes your reality.
In order to break through false beliefs, they must be discovered and addressed. Go within and discover what you are aligning your truth with. Look for habits you have that no longer make serve you. When you consciously become aware of what you think, say and do, you will begin to notice these discrepancies. Once you find a one, decide if the associated belief is true for you. If not, release it. If the belief is valid, but the associated behaviors do not reflect the true you, then decide how you wish to act or react in future similar situations. In other words, begin to “walk your talk.”
It takes time and effort to uncover the “true you,” but it is such an important endeavor. You have allowed yourself to be defined by other people, seeking approval in ways that have been less than honorable. There is no need for this type of behavior any longer. Go within on a daily basis and begin to weed out the beliefs and emotions that are keeping you from being truly authentic.
Prayerfully ask the Creator to show you the false beliefs you have adopted. Ask to be shown the truth and how to align your will with His will for you. Be courageous and ask to be shown any behaviors that are not in alignment with the “true you.” Ask for guidance and take the measured steps to replace those behaviors with ones that highlight the updated version of the “true you.”
