Do you believe your lies?

Have you ever thought about the countless lies we tell ourselves? The ones that keep us safe, the ones that keep us from living our intended lives?

When I woke up this morning, I had a realization that I have never believed in myself because I believed the lies I told myself to keep me from becoming the person I thought no one would love.

I look back now and see how I let the words of others influence me.

I have always thought differently than everyone else in my world. I see things in ways that some just can't. That is not wrong, it's just the way it is and I'm OK with that. Everyone has their own path to follow, the problem with that is, so many are asleep to their truth and believe the stories that society tells them and therefore, stifle the fire within. I was not immune. We choose ego over Soul. Our ego then becomes our control and it smothers anything that may threaten our safety, our comfort, what we know.

I have a brilliant idea and when I thought of it, I was beyond excited. The Universe planted that thought in my head and it grew from a seed into a seedling and then literally overnight it became a full fledged, recognizable tree! I got up and immediately went to work to begin creating my thought. As the day went by, my enthusiasm grew, I got a ton of work done and was so excited to share it with the world. That night I went to bed with a feeling of great accomplishment and contentment. I thanked my Angels and Guides for helping me with my work and fell asleep.

The next day I woke up and nothing but fear and doubt filled my head about my project. I had a few hours of the "what ifs". Then I added a dash of, don't be silly, no one would want that. Needless to say that day was not one I'd like to repeat.

That was a few days ago and after stepping back and asking the Universe to help me see things with clarity, I now have found a peaceful balance around the project. It still stirs up excitement for me when I think of how many people it will touch and I intend will help, but it is not over the top excitement, it is a warm hug. The doubt that people will not want what I offer is there, but it is not crippling. Of course there are people who will not want what I have, some may never be open to the idea of it, and there are going to be those who absolutely love it!

That doubt was something that froze me in fear for so many years. I would not accept that everyone would not love my idea, an idea that I deemed great. After all, why would I think of something that could possibly be a bad thing? I forever thought that with loving intention, everyone would be on board with what I had to offer. You know what's coming, don't you? Of course I was completely mistaken. Of course there are going to be people that do not agree with me whatsoever, they will look at me as if I have a horn growing out of my forehead. In my naivete, I told myself "positive" lies. "Those people must have rocks in their heads, what is wrong with them?" This made for a very grumpy me. This also made me give up on me and my dreams.

What I want to share here is important for self love and healing. Question everything you tell yourself when you're alone, driving a car, taking a shower, laying in bed late at night. Do you believe it when your ego tells you those people are wrong and don't deserve what you have to offer? Do you tense up and judge those who are on their own path making their own discoveries? Do you fill your head with lies to make yourself feel better? Do you deny Love when you feel discounted and want to make everyone feel your misery and betrayal?

My intention for all who are waking up to their truth in whatever manner that may be, please be easy on yourself, be calm and listen to your heart, not your head. Your heart sings with the voice of your soul. Forgive yourself for not knowing better, you did the best you could with what you knew, and do better when you find your truth.

Have a Blessed day!
