Step out of a False Life and Live a Fulfilled Life

In all walks of our life, it is important to be able to be in relationship with people who honor your authentic self.

What the heck does that mean?

Well, a definition of authentic is: "true to one's own personality, spirit, or character" or simply, "not false".

So that means that our aim should be, if we wish to be happy, to create relationships that honor our TRUE PERSONALITY, SPIRIT and CHARACTER that is NOT based in FALSEHOOD.

Whoa... now THAT makes sense!!
But HOW?

Well, first things first. We gotta start BEING our true CHARACTER, PERSONALITY and SPIRIT. We have to not be false with ourselves. Ah ha! There lies the first key to living an "authentic" life.

So... What are your true character, spirit and personality? Another way to look at this is... What makes YOU come alive? What do you REALLY feel? How can you communicate and express your TRUE feelings with Love?

If we are holding back how we feel, not expressing ourselves to others and/or not expressing our creative gifts, then we are not living an authentic life. Making this one switch can lead to MASSIVE change in and of itself. But this isn't where we stop for this blog.

Now, we move into creating relationships and partnerships in our life that allow, support and endorse not only OUR authentic self, but also the authentic selves of those we choose to be with. THIS REQUIRES MAJOR COURAGE, LOVE & PATIENCE.

To continually risk exposing how we feel can seem dangerous and scary. But it's necessary to live an authentic and happy life. To be able to hold space for others to do the same requires major Love and patience. Also, as we look around our lives and see who is in it currently, we may come to realize that there are some changes that need to be made. Just because you are being authentic and those in your life are being authentic doesn't mean that those energies will match. We may come to find out that they don't match AT ALL. In which case, the authentic thing to do is to part.

You see, my friends, I truly believe that if we are not living an authentic life, we attract "falsehood". Not falsehood in the sense of anything negative. No. Falsehood in the sense that we can very easily begin to craft a life of fear, of scarcity and of smallness. But that is not what we are meant for. We are meant for greater things than this. So it is up to us to muster the courage to begin to live an authentic life and Love those in our life enough to allow them their own creative and authentic expression. Hopefully this will bring us closer together, but let us honor the outcome if it drives us apart as well.

Switching from a life of masks and falsehood can sometimes feel like pushing out a splinter. But it's worth it. Living an authentic life eventually leads to being happy MOST of the time.

Do not let anything into your life that doesn't resonate with your authentic self. Let go of what's not working. Embrace what is and have the courage to face the unknown as you switch from the falsehood of living a fear based life to the bliss of living an authentic life.
 
I love you,

The Only Thing You Owe Other People is Your Happiness

We, as human beings, need to been seen. We are built for relationships. Our entire world is setup as sets of relationships that we all mutually rely upon.

The child relies on the parents for love, support and nurturing.

The student relies on the teacher to learn.

The teacher relies on the student to show the teacher how they can teach better.

The maker of products relies on the consumer.

The consumer relies on the maker of products.

We rely on our friends and our friends rely on us.

And so on...

Examples of relationships that are setup for mutual benefit are endless - because that is the nature of life.

We come together because we can't make it alone.

The thing is, we get all caught up in relationships that we think are serving our greatest happiness, but many times they are simply toxic. And while we can learn from toxic and negative relationships, let us not dwell there.

A key thing to remember is THIS: We have relationships so that we can be HAPPY MOST of the time. Loving someone isn't showing them how much you are willing to suffer for them. Loving someone, starting with yourself, is a demonstration of how HAPPY you are willing to be - for YOURSELF and THEM.

The only thing you owe other people is your happiness.

But many times we put up with negative, toxic and unhealthy folks because the 5%, 10% or 20% Love that we are getting, we THINK (incorrectly) is better than zero love. But you see, relationships like this are fun for a moment, then fun with problems and then... let's face it, it's just plain ole problems after a while. And that 5% Love you were holding on to actually goes into negative territory because yesterday's fling is today's poison.

When we seek to GET something from someone that we THINK is lacking within, we are setting ourselves up for pain and a big time lesson.

To flip the switch, the question we must ask is not "What can I get?" but instead, "What can I give?"

When we show up to be of service in life, we change our relationship with all of life. As a result, we begin to step into the abundance that is promised to us by The Uni-verse, because are seeking now to give instead of to just get.

A thriving relationship is made up of awesome GIVERS and FORGIVERS.

Are you in a thriving relationship? Do all the relationships in your life have a MUTUAL benefit? Or have you gone into negative territory where yesterday's fling is today's poison? Are you showing up as a happy person in your relationship? If not, what can you do to change it?
