Weekly Insights: The Importance of Expressing Our Truth...

There is no rock, crystal, plant, snowflake, cloud, or other natural phenomena that is exactly like another. The same thing holds for humans. Each of us fits like a puzzle peace in this great human experience. We owe it to ourselves, our community, and our soul to find what drives us forward and pursue that path until we feel complete and whole. So what happens when we ignore the signs, give our power to someone or something else, or rebel agains our own personal growth? In order to find fulfillment, feel fully alive, and achieve success, we must express who we are. If our family, friends, or others around us disagree, what is most important is that we listen to our own hearts. We don't have to make everyone around us feel comfortable. Each of us simply needs to live our truth, follow our heart path, and tap into that excitement that comes when we are doing what we Love and Loving what we do.

There is a hefty price to pay when we ignore that burning desire do what we are meant to do and be who we are meant to be in this lifetime. We can even start to lose our voice when we stop speaking our Truth. That unique expression that each of us has is what can help us feel at peace, match our goals and personal expectations, and feel confident in who we are and what our purpose truly is. Without taking that personal leap into our destiny, we can be left feeling empty, depressed, and inauthentic. Our lives end up being defined or simplified by our fears or the desires of others. It can affect our immune system and health as well. To top it off, our special gifts manifest abundance. When we try to be something we are not, we stop the flow of prosperity and abundance that is meant for us. It is vital that we follow the heart and live our dreams for health, happiness, and success.

Honoring that deep inner calling results in us finding more meaning in life. Every challenge becomes an opportunity to grow instead of an obstacle in our way. There is something very satisfying that is felt inside that can only be achieved by following our inner guidance. In a world filled with people who live other people's visions and dreams, we have to be willing to make the sacrifices needed to become who we are and fully express our Truth. Meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and happiness come when we live in harmony with our authentic selves. So what are we waiting for?

The illusion is that once we find our purpose and take steps to live it, all of our problems disappear. This is false. Life is filled with ups and downs, regardless of the path we choose. However, by simply taking a step toward our dreams, we are making the choice to give back to ourselves. That one choice can change our lives forever. Our destiny is defined by the baby steps we take toward it. One decision, one conversation, one class, or one experience at a time, we move closer and closer to those visions we hold deep inside. Sometimes good things manifest subtly and over time, and reflect how we are truly feeling along the way. We have to keep choosing ourselves, listening to the subtle guidance of the soul, and moving forward with one step in front of the other. When life begins to become a true expression of who we are and who we are meant to be, we gain hope, drive forward in faith, and keep expanding in Love and joy. Life is meant to be an expression of who we really are. When we accept our truth and follow this path of authentic living, there is nothing that can stop us from succeeding. We only need to remember to just go for it!
