We are not who we think we are

We are not what we think we are

For the most part, with a few exceptions, we are, what we think other people think we are

We are other peoples opinions of us

We are what our parents told us to be

We are what our teachers told us we could/couldn't do

We are all those ideas that fell by the wayside because we were mocked or ridiculed by the others, for even daring to think that we were different

Well I am here to tell each and every one of you, that you ARE different - you are not just what other people told you to be, you are so much more than that!!

Every one of us came into this world with our own trail to blaze, we didn't come to ask for permission to be who we really are, we didn't come to seek other people's approval before being ourselves, and we certainly didn't come to get everyones opinion about what suits them best. I mean, can you even imagine - that person wants one thing from you, that person wants something else, and as for that person, you can't jump through enough hoops to please them! So why would you even bother to try, it's impossible, and I might add, extremely confusing. So when you really think about it, instead of trying to please everyone else, the only thing that makes any sense at all, is to please yourself. Yes you'll get judged, but they were judging you anyway, yes you'll be condoned, but they were condoning you anyway. And you know whats really interesting about doing whats right for you, eventually you will get stable in your uniqueness, and people will no longer judge or condone you, because when you start to believe in yourself, other people can only respond to the signal that you are sending out, and they will begin to believe in you too.

I had a conversation yesterday with someone whom I have always allowed myself to be rattled by. I realised a long time ago, that the rattling was of my own making, and had been working on shifting the way I see this person, and the rattle had indeed, over time, become much less. Until yesterday, and to be fair, I didn't really want to make the phone call that I made, but I felt obligated to. And there was my first mistake, instead of preparing myself vibrationally, I remembered it 'needed' doing, and I just wanted to get it over with, so jumped in feet first. So obviously, it was a really confusing phone call, which left me, and them, thoroughly rattled. So basically, I did neither myself, nor them, any favours.

However, altho initially, the rattle left me in a state of feeling powerless (which is at the very bottom of the emotional scale) I was able to, by letting myself feel what I was feeling, move up into anger, and then into frustration. And it was in my state of frustration, that I created the previous post about reclaiming your power. Now I stand by the post, as I know that we all have an inner power, and I know that we spend a lot of time in fear unnecessarily. 

However what is interesting, is that when we create anything, we put our energy into it, and the creation will hold that energy, and attract like energies. How do I know this? Well, because the first person to comment on my post was a person whom I had previously observed as frustrated at life, and her comment suggested to me that in her power she actually feels anything but. Which made me realise that my post was created in that exact same place, like attracts like. A part of me instantly shifted, and I briefly considered removing the post, but it's part of who I am, who I was, who I will be, its part of this precious journey of life. Nothing can be taken back, and nor should it be, because good or bad, it makes us who we are.

And so I send love to those people who had a hand in my writing this post today, because of them, I have progressed on my path faster than I would have done otherwise.

Self awareness is such a wonderful gift, and one that we all have access to

With Love
