Hope. It’s a powerful word and a powerful concept. I’ve found that just
when life seems at its bleakest is when a shift is about to occur and
something wonderful is going to manifest.
We
all hang on to a little bit of hope during those bleak times, which is
good, but I also recommend you throw yourself a pity party. Don’t roll
your eyes. Pity parties are an important rational piece of mind in dealing
with the down times life throws your way.
Somehow, we all got the notion that hiding our pain behind a smiling face
is a noble, admirable, and mature act. I disagree. Because by doing so,
you rob yourself of your authenticity and rob yourself of your ability to
be human and to connect with others.
In
sharing your pain with others, you will usually find your misery met with
compassion and a true desire to help. You’ll also find that your fear of
being judged as a whiner or drama queen is an illusion and not rooted in
truth.
Most
importantly, in sharing your fears, worries and concerns with others
you’ll find freedom--freedom to connect in truth, and freedom to be loved
just as you are.
So,
go ahead, put aside your pride and have yourself a pity party when you are
feeling blue. Notice how good you feel afterwards. By doing so, you’re
giving yourself and the rest of us a gift--the gift of full expression in
being you.
Wishing you a week filled with the freedom of expression,

"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should
be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose,
and then where will you be?"

Where in your life are you "posing?" I
dare you to show your real self!

that I say and do. In doing so, I am free and it feels great!"
