What's the hardest part about being yourself? Overcoming FEAR ... fear of being alone, having no friends; fear of being judged, fear of being rejected, fear of persecution, fear of not fitting in to society or family. How much of my life do I lose to FEAR? Too much. But there is a ray of sunshine peaking through the clouds I have allowed to hover over my life. Can you guess what it is? That's right....CHOICE. We all know how to implement choice in our lives. We just have to be willing to let our hearts be our guide . Our hearts tell us every time we take a wrong turn. Our hearts tell us every time we do something contrary to our good nature. Our hearts tell us every time we walk away from ourselves leaving the door open for anyone or anything to come in and take over (i.e., we can never say "no" to anyone, we fear judgment from others, we do anything to "fit in", etc). I believe our hearts are the voices for our souls; the voices for who we really are. When we ignore our hearts we ignore ourselves and everything good that we are. Do you ever wonder why you seemingly have everything you want but have an unidentifiable, endless ache inside; as if something is missing. And the most frustrating thing is you THINK you have no idea where this ache is coming from, what it's called, or how to fix it. But if you pay close attention it does go away when you're doing what you love. It does go away when you're surrounded by people who love you unconditionally. It does go away when you allow yourself to be you. How bad do we want to be who we were meant to be? We make time for the things we want to do and for the people we want to be with. So why not make time to be us?
