This is the big question…
Who are you when you are not being who others expect you to be?
Who do you become when others see that you are human, with all your failings and achievements?
Who do you become when you look in the mirror?
Who are you being when you interact with a stranger for the first time?
Who is the one being when you be?
Do you feel safe to simply be? To show YOU in all your colours?
Do you fear that others will judge or walk away if you truly step into being all of you, all of the time, 7 days a week?
Are those same people truly being all they can be?
Too often we change or adapt our true selves to fit in the boxes society puts us in, stamped and labelled for the world to see.
I say to you, step out of the box, wear it as a hat if you must till you feel comfortable being fully exposed and naked, but remove the label and replace it with, this is ME!
Then throw that box in the recycle bin and step into a new confidant you, the you you were always meant to be.
Shine your light so brightly that those pretending to be, have to close the lid on their boxes and those that are removing theirs can see they are not alone.
To be yourself in a world filled with pain is the bravest thing you can be.
Love you, all of you. No excuses, no blame, no regret, no shame.
Do not worry about those who fall away, one day they too shall remove their boxes of shame and find themselves once again.
Be the change by BEING your authentic self and loving every aspect of your magnificent, flawed, vibrant, unique self.
The world needs more honest communication and that starts with the conversation with self.
