Many People, so many people, live in fear. I quite simply refuse to be one of those people. So many people are scared to chase their dreams and act on their truest desires. Hell, so many people are even afraid to speak their own truth.
People are afraid to speak. We live in a society where it is "Normal" to live our lives trying to constantly appease and concede to others. To many people are scared of freedom. The truest form of freedom....
The truest form of freedom is self-mastery. Knowing thyself. Living unapologetically. Learning to balance you, and ALL of who you are.
But instead, we run from ourselves. And often into the arms and embrace of someone else's reflection because we are too scared to look into our own.
I believe that our reflection is our biggest fear. It is only ourselves that know our own truest thoughts and our most honest feelings and emotions. Behind that is the whispers our of our rawest desires and our truest shame. As we look into the mirror daily, we rarely ever look into our own eyes for more than a second at a time. That's because we don't want to allow the true nature that is within us to arise.
Some of us are suffocating by the people and things that surround us. Some of us are being grabbed by the throat (or the balls) and are in so much pain and anxiety that they can't breathe. Some of us are angry or sad. But we can't allow our truest nature to predominate us, for it would end in us hurting ourselves, or hurting others. Some of us are broken....From family...trauma...pain...
The part that we are also refusing to admit is that we are all a lit bit of everything that I had just described....
When was the last time you REALLY looked at yourself in the mirror? What do you see?
