This has been something very, very uncomfortable for me to discover some years ago, but I am sharing it today with you, because I strongly believe that more people can benefit from what my worst nightmare seemed to be for a very long time.
The fact that you can decide to just do whatever you want to do E-V-E-R-Y day, is such a simple thing to say, but to actually live it, is SOOO much more difficult!
To me it has always been about doing the right thing for others and for myself off course, but there always seemed to be a slight preference to make sure I was doing the right thing for the people around me.
Being a good friend, family member, colleague or partner was so much more necessary to me, than actually being good to myself.
Anyone who's had issues with really standing up for themselves or sharing whatever is going on in their lives with the people who you trust most, will understand what I mean by this. The real truth is ugly! The real harsh facts of your life can be very confronting and very difficult to admit...
That doesn't mean it has to be always ugly though, because you're in the ability to change it whenever you're ready to commit to telling the truth to yourself...
Really, it's that simple!
The truth will set you free, they always say... And in my opinion that is exactly what seems to be true!
At least for my own experience with doing and saying what makes me simply enjoy life better... The truth has been hard to digest at times, but now that I have fully embraced my own truth I can honestly say I feel much lighter and happier with everything.
So next time you try to figure out something in your life that you don't fully understand, my advice would be to just let it go and not even worry about understanding it. I truly believe life is meant to be lived messy, chaotic and sometimes very uncomfortable for us to grow into our full potential, so the sooner you start to embrace that fact and let go of trying to control everything, the faster you will start to enjoy every day at its fullest.
