Living an AUTHENTIC Life

....I was talking to a friend today about Life.

Specifically... we talked about how we are at a point in our lives that we are trying to live authentically.

Our definition of Living Authentically means that you keep your vibration high.

*It means laying down the masks and being vulnerable with others.

*It means being honest and forthright in every situation. Whether it directly affects you in the moment or not.

*It means.. having authentic and positive relationships in your life… limiting or cutting off contact with those that are negative or draining on ones energy (and they may not even realize it.)

*It means.. doing what you know is RIGHT. No matter how hard it is or how much crap you have to wade through to make sure it is done the PROPER way.

Lets NOTE HERE... it probably wont be the easy way.. you will probably get knocked down more often than you are comfortable with and you may want to give up and go back to the OTHER way.

But that way.. the dishonest, conniving, striving and manipulating way does NOT bring long term happiness.

What it does is invite MORE dishonesty.. more conniving, manipulation and low vibration into your life. And the cycle continues.. over and over again.

Its up to US to break the cycle.

But its NOT easy.

Let me give you an analogy.

If our lives were a HOME.. imagine this:

Just inside the front door is a room….. You have to walk through this room before you get to your ‘Living Area’ aka. Life.

Now, lets face it.. we have been around the block a time or two.

So this room is cluttered with the ‘Stuff’ we have held onto throughout this lifetime. Our list of offences, the emotions surrounding those offences as well as any other emotional baggage that began through your DNA and added to through the experiences in your life

Your ‘things’ clutter the room. You find yourself in a state of hoarding that you feel as though you will never get out of. Its just too much STUFF to work through. The thought comes in that perhaps its easier to do it the OTHER way. Its EASIER and more comfortable that way.

Do not despair and STAY ON YOUR LIGHT COURSE FRIENDS. It gets easier and easier.

As we address the baggage in our life and slowly work through those things.. the room becomes less cluttered and it becomes easier and easier to walk through that room.

You work on it piece by piece. Putting in the time and effort to keep what is cherished and discard what is NOT.. and as you do this more and more you realize that it becomes easy to tell which side that ‘hoarding of baggage’ is on and you begin to find your freedom.

And one day.. you look around and you realize that you are LIVING in that room and its more beautiful than any room you ever thought you would live in.

So when you are TRYING to get ahead in Life and you feel as though you are doing it PROPERLY AND AUTHENTICALLY.. but you still hit roadblocks and detours.. that IS NOT your invitation to go back to the EASY WAY.

It is your invitation to OWN YOUR LIFE. Go through that room and keep doing the healing necessary to move forward and it becomes easier and easier.

No one is going to magically appear and clean out that room for you. It has to be YOU.

Stay the course. Keep going and keep spreading your Light to others.

You will find yourself in the most beautiful of places.
