So who are we after all? Are we that sweet girl/boy or that
girl/boy with an attitude? Are we that snob or are we the nerd? Are we the
angry rebel or the easy going one? Are we all of these or none of it?
I
recently figured out, I have been an image all my life. An Image xyz person had
about me, I have been that and if an abc person had a different image, I have
been that one too. So basically, I have been just an image or maybe different
images at different given time.
And when I realized this [a few weeks back] It
was absolutely mind-blowing and core-shattering! After I sort of settled
in this new acquired knowledge about myself, I decided to do something about
it. And I chose to be authentic! How simple it sounds, doesn’t it?!
But truth
be told, Its not simple, Its not very complicated either, Its just that when
you actively make a choice, things start happening towards what you have intended
and in this process, anything that is not a part of it, falls out. It could be
anything, material possessions, relationships, own ideas/beliefs, patterns,
likes/dislikes.
While this is happening, It does feel like your world is
falling apart, but all you need to do is - trust, unconditionally trust that its all happening for only your best and nothing else. And as you start getting
comfortable with your trust, you sit there, watch your life fall apart and you
let it happen, you mourn the lose[its important, since you are on the path of
authenticity, you definitely feel sad and lost, you cry if you want to, its
just that you are doing justice to your efforts and your involvement with that
particular object/person/attribute.]
And no more you will be anybody’s image, you’ll be who you
are and you’ll have people around you, who also know what you know about
yourself!And that would be great, because then you will have people who are authentic too! Well, that too has its own challenges, and I’ll find that out soon,
but for now, let me just be authentic and drop what I am not and
unapologetically and bravely embrace Me!
