A little peace please, less anxiety, we're on alert mode all the time, buddy, so I don't puede. If we want to be free, so let's tell the world our truth and we will be truly free.
That's what taking off the mask is all about, starting by releasing it in front of the mirror, in front of oneself.
Many times we fall into a game of appearances, we forget the most important thing: our authenticity, and this is real when true self-esteem is not built by pleasing others, but by accepting ourselves, with our lights and our shadows.
Every time we do it, falling into the game of appearances we get a little further away from our true essence. It's time to take off those masks and show the world who we really are.
Being yourself is the foundation of self-love and a solid self-esteem. In addition, accepting our imperfections is the first step towards true trust.
No one is perfect, and that's okay... Why? Because starting to be ourselves frees us from the weight of other people's expectations and allows us to live more fully and happily, without fear of being rejected. That's why being yourself is a high-risk sport, because when you succeed, that's when you realize that you have to learn to live with some shadows of your own.
In other words, being yourself is not being the best version of yourself, being yourself is being real, not perfect. Understanding it is crucial. Of course, being authentic is a priority, nothing is hidden on the face of the earth, in the end the truth comes out... You are the real me.
It may be, that we do not have remarkable victories but we can be surprised with the defeats that we managed to survive.
It's New Year's Eve, and it's not to pretend anything. It's a good time to stop running away. It's good to look at you without excuses, without the noise of the table being set, without the obligation to be well. Because sometimes the most tiring thing is the amount of things you keep putting off with yourself.
Our emotional awareness starts there, when we stop running and stay with ourselves, really. The more we work on self-esteem, the less likely we are to get screwed by others.
For years I have worked to find my own way of living, and I do believe that there is a common experience, we all make our HERO's JOURNEY, in one way or another we die and are reborn, because in Life you suffer, but you also enjoy, you enjoy. There are losses, but there are also gains. There is a dark night, but there is also a sunrise, and there are moments of Undefeated Sunshine.And with all the differences in thinking, feeling and ways of living, I wish YOU ALL the best for your lives, that you are very happy and that you are brave to face the difficulties with Faith and Determination, this year that almost closes its door... And why not? Go towards the light of things and let everything add up the rest of the days to live for everyone.
