Live Your Truth!

So what is our truth?  Our truth is our authenticity.   We were born in a state of love and acceptance of others and ourselves. We were born wise.  As babies we did not understand fear, prejudice, poor self- esteem or resentments. These manifestations are learned behaviors that come from dealing with life experiences and from unconscious people.

The truth is, life will sometimes hand you difficult situations.  It is your choice to grow in wisdom and love when faced with challenges, or to become defined by them and live your life in victim stance.

Notice your suffering and explore it so that you can learn from it.  You can choose to stop being absorbed by your man-made, negative emotions and let go of your story as a victim and all sorts of other problems. Claim your birthright as a wise and courageous person who makes good decisions, who doesn’t run from pain but instead walks through it in order to learn the hidden lessons that adversity offers.  Turn your life into the soil that grows beautiful flowers in life.  Put away your fear and allow your creativity to shine.

Several years ago Leann Womack came our with a song called “I hope you dance.” This song resonated with my soul.  When my son married his wife five years ago, it was this song that I danced with him at his wedding as he created his new life as a man and a husband. It was my desire for him to life his truth, and dance with life.

When we get caught up in ego and addictions, in actuality we are running from our truth.  Our ego will create defensive and controlling behavior and the illusion of division.  Our addictions to anger, resentment and substances are an attempt to keep us from feeling vulnerable, which keeps us from experiencing intimacy with others.

Let go of the fear that what you say doesn’t matter, because it does! Trust in your creative force.  If you want to paint, paint!  If you want to sing, sing!  Living your truth will feed your soul.  Your truth is based on love, even if you have forgotten.

Love and Blessings,
