Facing Forward; Embracing Our Authentic Truth

We limit ourselves by living in fear, regret and with expectation, to a world of illusion where we project our conclusions formed from unresolved past experiences.

Facing Forward; Embracing Our Authentic Truth

The way in which we speak to ourselves influences the world in which we live. We are creators, therefore we create our own realities; writing the script according to the thoughts we entertain. When we feed upon negativity in regards to ourselves, we come to embrace those thoughts as truth, even though it may be farthest from the truth as a whole. The end result is an shrouded energy of unworthiness enveloping our self perception. We then follow suit by acting and reacting upon that self projection as factual evidence, thereby restricting our potential for growth and development in the long run.

When we entertain a negative perception in regards to our relationships and social encounters, we cause division or lack of clarity, thereby sabotaging the potential for an authentic experience.

We limit ourselves by living in fear, regret and with expectation, to a world of illusion where we project our conclusions formed from unresolved past experiences. The truth is that nothing is absolute and relinquishing expectations liberates each experience to evolve within its own truth.

Each individual and circumstance is an original. The only duplicates circumstances are the experiences and beliefs that we choose to revisit. Those are the ones that generate vibration and manifest as reality, only because we gave them a role to play in our life script. The thoughts and words we choose have the strength to either empower or oppress us. Our power lies in choice, thereby making us the director of our own life script. The only control that our fear and regret have is the control we relinquish over to them and the power that we instill within them.

Acting and reacting to negative stimuli is a result of falling beneath the submission of fear and regret. Our power of choice enables us to decide what role we wish to play on the stage of life. We can abort the plot of a life scripted to us by our thoughts if we choose, for it is our thoughts that created it to begin with. We can reject the fate of a life scripted to us if we choose because it is our choices that directed it. We can refuse a role in a life scripted for us if we so choose because it is our will that manifested its reality.

Now, I understand that there are times in life when situations occur that are from the actions of others and are out of our control, but we have the power to choose how we respond to the stimuli that will in turn effect our lives on a deeper level than the original circumstance.

Be mindful of the thoughts you entertain because they become internalized as truth and manifest as a frequency in which your energy vibrates. If you judge and blame yourself you will energetically and subconsciously attract penitence because it is the fate that you have come to believe that you deserve. If you hold vengeance in your heart for another, you will again attract more situations that are familiar to the original circumstance in order to work through and heal the perception and coping mechanism that you have now established.

Living in fear and doubt paralyzes the vibration of courage and faith to receive, thereby blocking the ability to attract what is meant for our highest good.

Living in the moment, living in gratitude and choosing supporting beliefs will assist in facing forward in our authentic truth, while unmasking the ghosts of the past.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
