Living . . . in the light of TRUTH!

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? ~Fanny Brice

Ah . . . to live constantly in my own truth . . . to go from one moment to the next without fakery or trickery. To constantly be so in touch with source that all I do is radiate authenticity. That is my intention. I wish to always be secure in who I am and what I believe in. I wish to attract the same in those I come into contact with. For to be honest and myself at all times, will not only benefit me but living in that truth will definitely benefit those around me.

Years ago, the Pet Shop Boys came out with a song, on one of their countless greatest hits package, that I used to love. The song was titled "Too Many People."(Video) It was a song about identity and being "too many people at once" depending on who you were with. At the time, I related to this song because that's how I was living my life. I went from place to place, always pretending to be someone. I went to a job I hated and tried my best to pretend to like it and be that "worker." I then went out with friends to the clubs, etc. and pretended to be somebody else. I'd change from being one person to the next depending on where I was and who I was with. I'm not saying I was a complete fake to everyone but there were elements of me that were always changing to suit the situation. This behavior came from really not being in touch with who I was. Oh, I thought I knew. But, I didn't really like that guy. . . the one I thought I was. You see, I hadn't taken the time to really get to know me and begin to like me. Why would I want to be this "real" me when I wasn't too crazy about him?

Anyway, after years of "pretending," I was finally ready to live my life as the bright being that came here to do so many things. One thing led to another and I kept attracting the teachers and the tools to get me closer to my authentic self. It is a process I work on every single day. But, it is worth it. Life opens up when you are true to your self. The Universe finally understands what it is you are all about and aids you in becoming more and more of that person you want to be. Where there are no pretenses or walls to hide behind of, there is nothing blocking the GOOD coming your way. Your mind is clear. Your vision is bright. You are secure and comfortable in your human suit. The space you occupy in this world finally feels right!

The more you practice living an authentic life the easier it is. Authenticity becomes the norm and whenever you are about to do something that doesn't fit with who you really are, you know it! You can feel it in every cell in your body. This is a wonderful tool to have since it can save you from making decisions based on ego or delusion and instead, you are always making decisions based on truth. There is nothing better than that. Even in the smallest things, you will always do your best to act from an authentic place.

By living with authenticity, all areas of your life will benefit. Your relationships, your work, your health, your JOY will expand and flourish. Everything grows stronger and beautiful in the light of truth. Shine this light upon every corner of your being and see the transformations begin!

No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos. ~D.H. Lawrence

Peace and Light to you and KEEP DREAMING!
