Getting Real

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
Robertson Davies

Well now, if that's true then that explains a lot doesn't it?

When people are asked why they continue to live an unhappy and unfulfilled existence, they often respond, "they don't know why".

I remember early on in my career being asked why I continued working for someone that I clearly didn't respect. I was unhappy with my employer and yet day after day I stayed. The question seemed easy enough, but the answer was much more complicated. For one thing the salary was great and we needed what I was making. Yet, I was miserable.

I stayed long enough to get fired.

I couldn't comprehend that there could be something better for me. I was willing to prostitute myself for the money. When fear keeps you "stuck" comprehension can't exist. Once you are ready to see things as they really are then and only then can you make choices that are in your best interest.

When one's behavior doesn't match with their values, they will never be happy.

When you live an authentic life, you are living the life that resonates with your inner being. You will not bind yourself with destructive habits, relationships or lifestyles. You will gain inner strength and let go of manipulation, power plays, cruelty and hatred.

You will find that your life is being elevated to a higher spiritual level. You will be thinking of humankind, rather than self. You won't be afraid of truth, and will deal with fear in a better way.

Teilhard de Chardin said, " We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience”...

We need to embrace this truth. We need to live it and share it with others. If we do this, our world will have less fear and destruction, and more love, happiness and abundance.

It is a journey that will lead us to incredible things... mostly OUR TRUE SELF!
