~*~ "Work at being content with who you are rather than pleasing others by being inauthentic." ~*~
Sharing an excerpt from Dr. Wayne Dyer's - Your Sacred Self - from the chapter Suggestions for Meeting the challenges of freedom.
Say to yourself, "I am what I am and it is okay as long as I am not hurting anyone else in the process."
This affirmation keeps you from having to shift from your authentic self to your false self. Who you are
is divine, eternal and changeless. The rest is just the play of the body in the physical domain.
Stay authentic with the invisible self. Do it quietly and without a lot of drama, but do it. Your behavior, more than your words, teaches people that you are unwilling to be something you aren't. No need to make an issue. A shrug, or removal of yourself from a compromising situation, or a firm statement is often enough. Be clear about your own inner value and you will not be pushy when your inner inclination is to be serene, athletic when you know this is not your calling, or heterosexual when you inner guidance tells you otherwise. This simply means being willing to trust your inner self and to stay with that inner guidance in the face of pressure by outsiders to turn into something else.
Namaste ~ Love ~ Tara
