Food for thought as we start a fresh year.....So many people cover-up things within themselves. They smile when they really need to frown. They laugh nervously when they are uneasy and uncomfortable. They try to make it all right so everything can be perfect and fine. We do this to be accepted. We do this because people guilt us into acting perfect. We fake perfect so others dont have to experience any unpleasant realities, because their life is just as fake as ours. If some people came into contact with anything real they would be shocked out of their minds. This phony life builds-up inside of you until one day you erupt like a volcano and you dont know why. But, some people dont explode, they implode. They fake perfect until they disappear forever and become someone elses version of who they should be. Either way its a total loss of life. You are lost because you have not been being honest with yourself, and your life is largely unexamined and unexerted. You have to do some thinking and know who you are, and then you have to resist compromising your truth for the comfort of others. Dont intentionally be rude, but be you. Some people will see you as an asshole because they dont understand honesty, integrity and honoring oneself. Witnessing honesty frightens some people because they havent known authenticity in their own life. But really, your abrasion is the rub they may need to open themselves or at least cause them to think. In a world of sleepwalkers an awakened mind is a teacher and a catalyst for new awakenings, whether they want to be or not. A moment of truth is very powerful. Instead of smiling to be polite, just frown. Instead of laughing when you are nervous or uncomfortable, just speak your truth. Instead of acting like everything is all right, proclaim it isnt alright, and talk about your feelings! Honor your truth. Honor yourself. Be real. If you can honor yourself and be real about your discomfort and pain, then your happiness will be just as real. If you cant be real and firm with others about who you are, you will be doomed to a phony, plastic bullshit existence, where you only live for others. When you are real you can move through what ails you instead of being stuck there forever in some sort of Pleasantville hell.
