Let’s Get Real!

Lately, I’ve gotten a little stuck. Honestly, I don’t like admitting this. I still would like to be this perfect example for people, and yet that is still an ego-based, fear-based program running on statements and feelings like, “I’m not good enough.” “If people know the truth, they won’t like me, or accept me, or hire me, or respect me.” On and on. It’s all B.S. (Being Silly). 

So, as I’m in the process of letting more of this stuff go, here are some of my thoughts on being real as I continue to work toward being more and more real with myself and with other people.

As  I think about it, if people can’t accept me as I am, with all of my wonderful imperfections, that’s really their problem. The truth is the only people who won’t accept us as we are are people who do not accept themselves as they are. The judgement they heap upon us is nothing compared to the self-hatred, self-disgust, self-loathing, self-judgement they are currently buried under. We need to seek other people’s approval and acceptance much less than we need to give our own to those people who are especially challenging for us to love. They are in our lives to help us learn to love those aspects of ourselves that we have not allowed ourselves to fall in love with yet.

And, really, without the challenges that I am currently attracting, how can I expect myself to learn and grow? If I had no challenges, it would be a state of death. There would be nothing to work on, to grow, to develop, to expand, to clarify. I might as well not exist at that point! Our challenges, no matter how challenging, are great gifts that give us the opportunity (when we choose to see them this way) to change the way we are playing.

Being in the kinda stuck place I am right now has also caused me to ask very different questions than I was asking before. Before this little phase, my  questions were of a tweaking nature, making small adjustments in my approach to improve results. Now I am beginning to ask paradigm-shifting questions that are going much more to the root issues that I need to deal with. For example, “how could I approach something from a completely different point of view? How can I give more? How can I trust more? What is right in front of my face that I’m not seeing? How much am I trusting myself, the universe, God? What deeper fears is it now time for me to become conscious of and release?

I don’t know if this post will be of any value to you, but it’s been incredibly helpful for me!

Thanks for taking the journey with me! You honor me with your attention! May your awareness continue to expand and your journey continue to deepen in love and it’s many blessings!
