Let's be honest

We all know that it is sometimes tough to live in this world. Do you sometimes feel hopeless or as if the universe is simply against you? If yes, then congrats, you are a human. Jokes aside; sometimes it can get really ugly and looking at the state of the world, doesn't really help. 

But does this mean we should just give up? Of course not. 

I am a strong believer that the source of our problems is simply the lack of authenticity. It doesn't matter who we pick; if it's your boss who seems to have it all, the leader who is so consumed by his own money who won't care about anyone else, the alcoholic next door or you complaining about your bad luck... Rarely will you meet someone truly authentic, it has become a true epidemic in today's society.

Let me start by mentioning it's birthplace. We are born into a family and society where we are taught which parts of us are acceptable and which parts are not. Since we are social creatures we rely on people and therefore will quickly adapt, split into multiple personalities and essentially lose our authenticity...

This may change in intensity depending on how much your parents and society actually molded you. You've been arranged into the person they were expecting you to be instead of accepting who you already were. 

Now, here you are, an adult. Do you still experience the same events, feeling like you are trapped? Unhappy with what you are doing and not exactly sure why? Do you ignore your feelings all together? 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an exception to this, no-one is. What I'm asking you is to integrate all aspects of yourself and therefore find your soul purpose and joy in life. 

We do not need any more egocentric people, any more pain, any more hate and the list goes on. Actually your soul and the universe only wants you to find your authentic self. That's the reason why you keep experiencing the same things over and over again or they just seem to become worse...it's a wake up call. 

Please, don't get me wrong again, if this would be an easy trip everyone would do it. The problem is that many won't because allowing, excepting and actually feeling your feelings isn't easy. Otherwise we wouldn't have been running away from them in the first place and were basically introduced to coping mechanisms instead. Nonetheless, feelings are not your enemy and you have a valid reason to be feeling them, they are trying to tell you something and asking for your attention.

Be honest, first and foremost, with yourself! Are you happy? 

There is so much joy out there for you, listen to your intuition and ultimately trust that the universe and your soul only wants you to have just that. 

This won't happen overnight and you might be tempted to go back to your old behavior. You might as well have to take harsh decisions, like divorce, changing your career or moving out. 

This world doesn't need hypocrites, this world needs courageous mind-travelers, empathetic people, warriors of the sun and compationate poets. 

Who are you? 

Namaste.
