Do you live your truth?
Truth is one of my guiding principles, it’s what I do for work and I pride myself on being honest. If you ask me a question I’ll give you an honest answer, whether you like it or not...with love. Always with love because I really care and my job is to transform you, your leadership and how you work and live. To do that, I need to share the uncensored truth as I perceive it in real time. To help people face where they’re at so that they can own it and then, I help them let it go, heal or expand depending on the context.
This can be really confronting because people think that their insecurities and weaknesses are the truth about themselves, they believe that they are their flaws. Being really open and transparent about insecurities is confronting if you are not ready or willing to face things about yourself, let alone be ready to let them go. Remember all of our fears and insecurities have served a purpose, filled gaps for us and many of us have spent a lifetime fighting with or hiding behind them. These fears and insecurities over time can become a false truth, become really real to people and it’s in this place that they cause real suffering - because we are what we believe. The ultimate truth is you are not your fears and weaknesses and even though they torture you, they are not your TRUTH.
We really need to make sure we act and make decisions from the place of our ultimate truth, our wise and whole selves, not from a place of fear and insecurity. We need to understand our reactions, where our feelings are coming from and what drives our behaviour and choices. Then have the courage to acknowledge that, stop, get our thoughts right, get into alignment and act from right mindedness.
The truth of who we really are is the person beyond the fears and insecurities. We need to shine a light on our true selves, not be so obsessed and focused on our flawed selves. We need to have a deep understanding of our truth and really honour our feelings and ignore the untruth’s we’ve told ourselves.
The easiest way to break this pattern is to stop putting yourself down. Focus on what you’re good at, what feels natural and easy to you. Then to go easy where it doesn’t feel natural and easy, where you’re not in alignment. When you feel insecure and vulnerable never judge yourself, just observe it, own and validate your feelings and work on growth and improvement, rather than fear and judgement.
The truth of who you are is actually more magnificent than any of us really understand and appreciate, we human beings are incredible, especially when aligned to the real truth of who we are.
