Often times in life we set out on paths created for us because it's easiest. We settle for what's not authentic simply because we've been told we are good at something, but in pursuing it, we realize it's not our passion, that it's someone else's passion for us.
We aren't encouraged enough to break the mold or to be our own standard. Rarely are we told that the road least traveled brings out the greatest amount of joy. It's like the journey to self fulfillment is a sacred secret no one wants us to tap into because they fear if we do, we will be unstoppable.
We have to stop diluting ourselves to fit in someone else's mold of who they believe we should be. I am guilty of it, but now I quit. I resign from being the person other's expect me to be and finally have employed my truest self on a full-time basis. Not when its conceivable or only when who I am is understood, but completely. I owe myself that much, to keep it 100 with the reflection staring back at me and anyone I cross paths with for that matter. It's a good feeling, its invigorating. Liberating in a way I didn't even know I could be freed. I've been breaking the chains for the past year or more, but there are truly levels to this and man oh man. Beam me up scotty cause I'm leveled up!
The truth is, we all owe ourselves nothing more than to be authentically who we were wired to be. Who the universe knew we were all along, even before we explored ourselves enough to recognize our own identity. I've always been this person I am becoming, I am just finally giving myself permission to be "she" fully, outright, out loud, unapologetically.
I use to be concerned about my spiritual freedom. I was concerned about how weird people would think I am, because ya know there are levels to being weird! There's like "Ok she's a little weird but she's cool" and then there is "Man, she's weird!" Levels I tell ya. haha But I am ok with that now. I love me, in all my "perceived" weirdness or whatevs. I am happy I've set out on this path to personal freedom and fulfillment. I am even more happy that I am free falling and in love with life. It feels amazing to say I am a Certified Reiki II Practitioner!
Yea, you heard me. I'm some sort of dope Energy Healer! I always knew I was a conduit for healing. We all are.
Moral: We are always spitting cliches and word play that's appealing, however this comes from my deepest find in searching of self.
The greatest joy lies in finding yourself and being just that; yourself and celebrating you. "To thine own self, be true."No truer words have ever been spoken!
Let's do some Reiki!
Celebrating with Love & light always,
Shina
