HOW TO BE YOU?

How to be you is about discovering and being your true self. Your life is lived based on what you were conditioned to growing up under the influence of those having authority over you. Your life and your perception of the world were shaped for you. Now, as a teenager or adult, you may challenge or question what you have been taught. In many situations, parents or family members expect you to live or behave in a way that aligns with what they believe is correct. Yet, it may not be what appeals to you. It’s not what you desire, and they criticize and nag at you, making you feel miserable and uncertain. Then some make demands of you to do or be something that you are not.

SELF ESTEEM

As a result of this pressure, your self-esteem is called into question. Some folks rebel, while others desire to please others. You do things to please others at your own expense. Holding to family tradition by becoming a lawyer may make Papa proud. But it creates animosity and regret because your passion was for being a schoolteacher. When you expressed your passion, you were told that tradition is important, or that being a teacher does not pay well. You caved in and are now living a life that feels unfulfilling and miserable.

There are many situations similar to the above. Some are worse, where you are made to feel inferior. You are told you are not good enough or lack talent or skills, and slowly you believe what others say about you. Your sense of self-worth is diminished, and you believe you are less than what you truly are. You are frustrated, angry, unhappy, and just plain miserable. You are attempting to live life through the eyes and opinions of others. They are not you! And they have no way of knowing what is best for you. Only you know based on your desires and passion.

YOUR LIFE

It is your life to live. You are a divine expression of All That Is, manifested in the physical to experience a full life based on your dreams and desires. You have the gift of Free Will, which is God’s Will, provided you do no harm. Your life is your responsibility and no one else’s. Every individual is responsible for themselves. Do not relinquish your responsibility to anyone.

Each expression of your divine Creator has been given the gift to co-create a life as they please. Each individual has different likes, interests. desires, talents, and skills. This was meant to be. Your life has a soul plan. You have a specific purpose to awaken to and fulfill. Your purpose does not have to be dynamic, but your gift of intuition, going within, listening, and feeling the nudges that guide you are blocked when you live by the demands of others.

PASSION

Passion is the key to becoming the true you as God intended. Find something in life that you are passionate about and do it. Keep doing it until the passion runs out. And then find something else that you are passionate about and keep doing it. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

When you live with passion, you are in harmony with your Creator because you are living a full, loving life that brings joy and happiness into creation. However, you will face obstacles and that is normal. The desire to continue moving forward, not giving up must be the driving force that keeps you going. Do not listen to naysayers. You know what you desire for life, and only you can make it happen no one else.

Some folks in life may have been beaten down to the point where they believe all is lost. False beliefs that it is too late, you are too old, or too poor prevent one from bettering their life. Or the thought of upsetting mom or dad, or grandfather, is unbearable. Breaking free from beliefs of this type may be impossible for those who lack the desperate will to be your own person, living life as you choose. It boils down to the fact: how badly do you desire to live life your way?

SELF DISCOVERY

For this author, self-discovery came when I falsely believed that I was too old for something better. I believed I had wasted my adult life and was in my mid-fifties, disabled, feeling hopeless with a desire to end it all. At the time of this pity party, I fell asleep. Upon waking, I felt the deep truth that I still wanted a life that meant something. I was not sure as to what that would be. Heck, I was so numbed down from living a life pleasing others that I did not even know who I was or wanted to be.

I began taking an inventory. Searching for what good I did in life and how it makes me feel. Surprisingly, I remembered a few events in my youth. Thinking I was not such a bad person as I currently believed. More remembrance came to light, creating a feeling of hope for myself. Eventually, I wrote out what type of person I desired to be moving forward. And if all was possible, what would I desire to do with the remainder of my life?

What I discovered and felt adamant about was that I did not want my life to end. I wanted something better to show for my being here on earth. This story is more involved for this article; however, my old life brought me to a make-or-break point. It cemented the desire to move forward to achieve what I was looking for.

Be strong, be tough, hold on to the truth that you are a divine expression of our Creator, you are worthy, you have purpose, you are loved, and you are free to live a full life as you deem fit.

FEAR AND DOUBT

Fear and doubt are two big troublemakers that interfere with living our lives as we were meant to be. Often, we go through life paying little to no attention to the consequences of expressing fear and doubt. For many, doubting thoughts and feeling fearful are second nature. For various reasons, it becomes a habit and part of their daily routine, resulting in creating their reality by default.

The causes can be varied and complex. The environment that you were raised in is a contributor. Often, a child is conditioned by a transference of a parent’s negative emotions or thoughts. You asked your parents if you could sign up to play baseball. They say, “Sorry.” Sorry, no, you know that money is always tight, and we cannot afford the registration. You are left not only disappointed, but references to money being tight create a false belief that you are destined to remain poor.

Becoming fearful develops from exposure to events that appear frightening and leave an impression that carries into adulthood. Some fears may seem baseless to others, but being afraid is being afraid. However, the toll taken on your life is not what God intended. Negative emotions are allowed to exist, but we must strive to overcome all obstacles that come our way. The first step is to understand where and how these emotions came into your life. Second is to replace negative thoughts with those that are positive, Affirmations such as I am abundant and prosperous, or I am confident in every way are good replacements/

Doubt

Doubt, much like fear, comes at all stages within your life. Doubtful thoughts that consume your life are detrimental to your quality of life. Perhaps from childhood or time as an adult, you were discouraged by others who implied you were not good enough for a specific sport, task, or lacked certain abilities. Over time, repetition reinforces negative beliefs within your mind. So an opportunity comes around for you to learn to dance, but you like the idea of learning, but oops, you doubt that you are capable, and you said forget it. You missed something that interested you because of past conditioning. You dismissed it without even trying; you allowed the opinions of others to influence you. Words or comments prove nothing; you have to try, go do it, then you will know if it is right for you.

Please understand that you are allowed to fail at some activities; no one is good at everything. Some folks are excellent singers, others like me cannot hold a note, and it’s okay. You are a manifested expression of God, Source, All That Is; you are here to experience life to the fullest. To create your dream life by following your passion. You need no one’s approval to do or be what you desire. You have the gift to co-create your reality. Use it by maintaining loving thoughts about yourself and your life. Create your desire, intend to have with your thoughts and visualize a mental movie in your mind of it playing out in your life.

Who You Are

To succeed, you must accept the truth as to who you are. You are an aspect of God, manifested in physical form to evolve spiritually by experiencing life events in duality. Duality means a life of contrast, opposites, positive and negative, good and evil, and every nuance in between. It is about experiencing lack and limitations, abundance and prosperity. It can also mean experiencing mediocrity. The choice is up to you, as you have the gifts to create as you deem necessary.

Rocks In The Road

You are who you are, you have the gifts, but you will face rocks in the road of life. You were veiled to the truth of who you are upon entering life. You were given an Ego identity that feeds on fear and doubt. You are conditioned in beliefs from birth, and you have been fed false information since those who took power and control over the masses. All these rocks and boulders are in your way. But, awakening, accepting your divinity is your key to liberation. There is nothing to fear, as fear is simply false beliefs instilled in humanity for eons. By virtue of accepting who you are, nothing can hurt or control you. You are in charge.

To change your life, to eliminate fear and doubt, requires a desire for your life to be different, to be all that it can be. Develop a passion and work it, never give up, and remember who you are and where you come from.

LIFE PURPOSE

life purpose

One’s life purpose has always been contemplated throughout the ages. As we age and experience the contrasting events of life, we tend to question why this or that happens. Am I being punished? Am I a bad person? Why is life so difficult? It makes you feel that when something bad happens, it just keeps on coming. In many situations, you become depressed, frustrated, and chronically angry.

Everyone desires and deserves a life of purpose and fulfillment. Our mission here in life, as an aspect of God, an expression in the physical, as you, is to experience all aspects of life so that the totality of God can know itself. God, pure intelligent conscious awareness requires experience, as how can one understand hot versus cold if there is no physical means to determine it? Life is lived in what is termed duality, a world of contrast, opposites, and everything in between.

Life Plan

Before your Soul incarnates into its next life, decisions must be made about what type of life you will experience, what country, what culture, religion, or no religion, and what family dynamics. Your Soul, along with advice from your guides, makes these selections based on what is necessary for your spiritual evolution. If your birth is caesarean or natural, that is your choice. Should your mother die while giving birth, then that is a choice made by her Soul. The Soul selects what manner of death to experience.

In your life plan, specific events are chosen to be experienced, such as a divorce, the death of a parent, abandonment, and so forth. Other life experiences result from how we use our co-creator abilities; positive or negative intentions and desires create the remainder of your reality, both individually and collectively.

Spiritual Gifts

As an expression of God, you have spiritual gifts of Free Will and the ability to create a fulfilling life of your desires based on your thoughts, intention, and passion. Mankind has been dumbed down over the eons as to the truth of who they are and where they came from. It’s time to awaken to the truth and live as God intended you to. Not according to the control of others. Those who hold the secret power to govern the world know that those who are awakened cannot be controlled.

All life, all creation is God expressing and experiencing itself. God is pure unconditional love, and while evil, or what we call bad, exists in this world. It is not what God is, and does not exist in the higher spiritual realms. God is comprised of all energies, positive and negative. However, the two opposites are neutral. Actually, the positive is slightly higher than the negative. While the ingredients for creating evil or loving events exist in God, it is our human Ego that chooses to create them in the physical.

Do No Harm

Do no harm is the caveat within the life plan. Yes, you are here to experience, and upon birth, you are veiled as to the real you. This handicap is a necessary obstacle to your goal of awakening. Your life purpose is to experience according to your plan. To use your gifts to create life your way. However, you were intended to do no harm. You are a creation of love, designed to live lovingly, but the duality of the world allows temptations and negative created events to sway your thoughts and emotions. How you perceive yourself and the world you live in determines the direction of your life.

Do no harm is the love and light of your true being. Hurting others is allowing yourself to be conditioned to a point where you are not in harmony with God. Knowing your life plan, your life purpose, and your creative power are the tools to overcome the difficulties of this life accordingly

Experience life, overcome the darkness, live from the foundation of your divinity, your love and light in harmony with God, and create the Kingdom of God here on Earth.

PASSION THE FREEDOM TO BE YOU

Passion provides the freedom to be you. Following what you are passionate about creates miracles in your life. Passion fuels the necessary emotions to manifest a life of fulfillment. While life provides bumps in the road, maintaining the momentum of passionate emotions is important in keeping the flow. When your desires and goals turn into achievements, your life becomes meaningful, and you feel good about everything.

Freedom To Be You

You were created and given the freedom to be you. You have the Free Will of God to do anything your heart desires within the constraints of the laws of the Universe. However, you have the freedom to work against them, but doing so only creates discomfort and yields no benefit. The freedom to be you relates to your daily life. Do you choose to live freely as you desire, or do you choose to live life restricted by the demands or expectations of others to conform to what they deem it?

Are you giving your personal power away by conforming to the demands of others? How does it make you feel? Do you feel restricted, limited, frustrated, and unfulfilled? If so, you are not living life according to your free will. You are seeking your passion or desires. In so doing, you are denying yourself the freedom to be you. Take time to examine what feels impossible to you, what limitations frustrate you, and why. These are things that you have given away, the power to choose what gives you freedom to be you, to create life your way.

You do not need the acceptance or approval of others to live life your way. You are an individual physical expression of God, here to experience a full life. You have the gifts of Free Will and the gifts to co-create your reality as you see fit. Not according to someone else, they are responsible for themselves only. You can take back your personal power by first disciplining yourself to remain firm in creating life your way. Continuing to worry about what others think or say not only robs you of your personal freedom but also robs you of happiness and fulfillment, creating a miserable life for you.

Reclaiming Your Personal Power

In reclaiming your personal power, declare out loud, I claim my personal power. Affirm this when you feel challenged by others. Affirm ” I am much more than I have thought myself to be”. Keep in mind that if this statement is true for you, then it is true for everyone as well. They are indeed much more than what you thought them to be. When you see others in this way, your world will change from within.

Then there are those folks who will dislike others based on their looks or how they behave, and whose actions and beliefs differ from theirs. Differences bring variety to all of creation as it was intended to be. No two persons are alike, and no flower is exactly alike; there are always variances and subtle differences concerning how one looks, dresses, or chooses to live their life. This is how God intended it to be.

You were created like others to create and experience life according to your free will. You were designed to experience and overcome the challenge of separation and division. In so doing, you are meant to awaken to your true identity and origin. Live life your way, but do so as a loving child of God, and do no harm. Allow others the freedom to learn their own life lessons in their own way. just as you must live, learn, and experience in your own way.
