Living Your Truth in a Changing World.
Many of us are going through an awakening of sorts. There is a growing number of us that have realized that the way the world works is not in agreement or in alignment with who we are. There is a famous quote written by William Blake which states, “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” I believe this is what is happening on the planet right now. Those who do not ‘believe’ for whatever reason are feeling it too, and you know what? It is a joy to watch. Seeing my clients, friends and family members open their eyes, is a lot like seeing the expression on a baby’s face the first time he walks from one end of the room to another and realizes, “Oh my God, I can do it!”
This poses a unique challenge.
How do we live in a world that largely functions on a system of values that is in such opposition to our personal truth?
We recognize the flaw in our hunger for power over others. We know our natural resources must be protected. We understand that strength comes from uniting as one people. Yet the greater part of the world will continue to use the current model of capitalism, consumerism, and domination. It can be frustrating, and you surely have come to that place inside where you say to yourself, “there is so much to do to get everyone up to speed and I don’t know how to help it happen.”
Your purpose here is to be an agent of change. It’s not just your purpose, it’s your job! Don’t be afraid to believe in something that others ridicule. Don’t be silent when you see injustice. You don’t have to take on the world all by yourself, but your voice does make a difference, and so does your silence.
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
What’s the answer to the above question? Very simple. By living your life according to your personal truth, you are a bright and shining example that cannot be ignored by others. They may criticize, feel threatened or try to overanalyze you, but the bottom line is, you will represent to them, a new possibility they may not have dared dreamed of before. We are all expressions of God, and simply being, simply existing in this world as your true self is enough. You don’t have to be on television, write a bestselling novel or become a guru with millions of followers to make a difference in peoples’ lives. Of course, if you are guided to express yourself, do so! Not all of us will be able to step out in front and produce something like a wonderfully shocking piece of artwork that will gain worldwide attention, and that is my point in sharing this message with all of you.
So say what you really think! Be who you really are! You make a difference, just the way you are.
