Thursday, March 6th, 2014 Focus: I was born to be real, not to be perfect. Man, am I good at putting on a front. I’m guessing most of you, if you were really to take an honest look at yourselves, could probably relate. Now, when I say “putting on a front,” I’m talking about the me I let others see versus the me that’s underneath that exterior, the guy pretty much no one knows. Whether we’re conscious of it or not, we all have that me. The me that we show others, the one pretending to have their shit together, both externally as well as internally. Why am I so scared to let you see the real me? It’s a deeply rooted thing, this desire to be accepted by others, and the fear of being rejected — socially, physically, spiritually, and otherwise. But until we’re willing to take a good hard look at both of the selves we believe ourselves to be — the person we present to the world and the person we hide at all costs, who’s rooted in fear — well, we’ll stay stuck exactly where we are. You were born to be real, not to be perfect. Excerpted from the article: Putting Up a Front: The Me I Let Others See by Chris Grosso. Read more of this article...

A guidebook for today’s generation of spiritual misfits who crave a dogma-free path. Drawing on his punk rock roots and question-everything mindset, Chris Grosso offers a collection of stories and musings about his meandering journey of self-inquiry, recovery, and acceptance. He rejects all the hypocrisies and judgments of religion to show that spirituality is not something that only happens on meditation cushions or yoga mats, in sanghas, churches, mosques, temples, or synagogues. Brutally honest, bitingly humorous, and radically unconventional, his collection of vignettes shows what it means to live an authentic, open, and mindful life. Indie Spiritualist empowers you to accept yourself as you are, in all your humanity and imperfect perfection. Click here for more info and/or to order this book on Amazon. AOL click here
