Being True To Ourselves

As we get caught up in our busy lives, we don’t pay attention to the person we have become. It is only when for a brief moment we have a glimpse of ourselves reflected back. Why are we then surprised when we see the hurt look from our loved ones after speaking to them so carelessly? Where is the compassionate person who had the best of intentions? Where is the person who had laughter in their life and hope in their heart? At what point did we let others decide what is best for us?  Know that at anytime we can take back the control in our lives, but it takes strength and determination to do what is best for ourselves. Today, use all of your senses to feel where you are in your life. Are you living in pain by not being genuine? Take a moment and be quiet within yourself. Remember the happiness and peace you once had, which is your true self. If you are ready, own who you are. If not know that you are not your circumstance. The universe continues to flow gently around you during times of chaos. You are a child of the universe.
No one said that being true to yourself was ever easy...

(B- My heart aches for the person you were meant to be.
Protect the little girl within you that is hurting.
As difficult as it is, do what is best for you.
The more you take care of yourself,
the more you are able to be present for others.
Always remember that you are loved every day.)
