Be Honest With Yourself

"Our lives improve only when we take chances ... and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves."            Walter Anderson

One of the keys to living a life of joy and fulfillment is to be in a constant state of growth and healing.  We all have something to grow around and we are all healing from something.  This is our human way. When we deny those parts of us that need this attention we are not being nurturing and genuine to ourselves.  We are not taking care of the one person that we truly can take care of on every level.  Remember, to love oneself is the only way to truly show up for others in the best way possible.  It is the only way to be the best person you can be and live a full life of joy.

Many of us are afraid of looking inside.  Some even avoid it at all costs and resort to excessive drinking, drug abuse or other addictions to hide from this person whom they perceive to be so bad.  The truth is, we all are loving beings derived from Source.  We are human, we are fallible, but we are perfect in who each and every one of us are.  On some level we are deeply afraid of what we may see and subconsciously believe that if we do reveal this part of ourselves, a punishment will ensue.  Quite the contrary.  Anything brought up and to the light is healed.  True healing begins when we shine the light upon this part of us that is often called “our lower selves.”

I invite you, my friends, to look inside.  Listen to the little voice that tells you where you have strayed from your path of light.  Instead of hiding it and denying its existence, be willing to acknowledge it, send love to it, and release it to the universe to be healed.  Your life will change in beautiful and remarkable ways!
