Being yourself is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give to yourself. To bring your uniqueness out to the world and decorate this planet with it, it’s a gift to all of us. I understand it can sometimes be difficult to be fully yourself. We are all part of the society which is continuously telling us, how we should act and present ourselves. We may believe we are not good enough unless we follow the crowd and comply with the majority. This creates lots of pressure on us. From a spiritual perspective, we were born at this time and space to face this challenge and bring our true self up the surface anyway. This way, our authenticity can be a powerful example to others. Remember, you have nothing to prove to anybody and you are good enough just as you are. Of course there is always a place for an improvement (this means always growing and learning spiritually and as human beings) while living in our truth as much as possible. It does take lots of courage and bravery to be fully yourself. I’ve struggled and I still struggle with it myself! But in the moments when I am fully aligned with my truth, I feel most content, I smile more, life flows smoothly and naturally for me, and the right people are always sent on my path. In those moments I get my most creative ideas and that’s where some of my best work happens.
When I am fully myself, I am empowered! I came to this Earth to be Jana, nobody else. There has never been anybody here exactly like me and there is never going to be. That Jana, which loves flying small aeroplanes, listens classical music, loves ballet dancing, is often sensitive, occasionally sounds quirky to others when she talks about her spiritual interests or ghosts, loves fairies, nature and everything mystical. That’s the person I want to be aligned with as much as possible! That’s me and I am so proud of that girl. From the moment I start comparing myself to others, mirror their behaviours I realise, it doesn’t feel good at all and I need to get “home” to me. One of my beautiful teachers once said to me: “Jana, the true power of yourself lies in your vulnerability. Get more in touch with that beautiful part of your being.” I can actually see now, how this part of me empowers me. When I’m in my fullest truth, I am also able to hear the voice of my soul louder and clearer. My soul guides me through my life’s journey and tells me everything I need to know. When I am most content and fully aligned in my truth, other people pick on it too.
It does take a courage to be fully yourself, but it is one of the most liberating experiences one can have. It truly empowers you! Try to accept your “flaws” a little more today, forgive yourself for not being “perfect” (who is?). Forgive yourself for pretending (in the past) you were somebody you are not, and put it behind you. Know, that it is never too late to make a new choice and to start living in your fullest truth. This is one of the most courageous decisions you can ever make. And if you ever detour from your true path, you can always begin again. I am choosing living in my truth every single day. Some days are harder than others, but I am closer to be more myself than ever before. The “fake” part of my persona I once created is surely fading away. I AM NOT AFRAID OF MY TRUTH ANYMORE! I don’t need to pretend I am somebody who I am not, just to be accepted by this society. I want to be fully myself and actually enjoy being me. I have nothing to prove to anybody. I truly love myself for who I am. This journey I’ve decided to take, is making me more powerful with every step I take.
