There is something about knowing the truth that makes you responsible for determining what you do next!" Iyanla Vanzant
Have you ever had to face the truth about something that you knew might rattle the very core of your being? Sometimes in life we tend to avoid having to look at things that have been placed in the shadows because we are simply afraid to face whatever they may be. Our fear is that if we talk about it, look at it, or even begin to deal with it, someone might know that we have stuff. Isn't it amazing that we become more concerned with how we look to the world and less about how we may be really feeling?
Hiding our pain or not facing something that is literally bursting at the seams to spill out into the light can cause great stress and even anxiety. "What will the neighbors think ?"was one of the reoccurring statements and fears in my home when growing up. I do believe we must be mindful in how we present ourselves to life overall, but not to the point that we would avoid healing something, or facing something because we are worried what others might think of us. When we become so consumed with how we appear to others, more so than what is in our best and highest interest, something is totally gotten out of whack!
The Bible tells us that the Truth shall set us free. True freedom comes from looking at what we know is the truth, dealing with what requires attention and getting on with doing what must be done to step back into full alignment and wholeness within ourselves. The world might still whisper about our day to day dramas we triumphantly survive , but what a respectful, self sustaining, powerful spiritual being we will be remembered for having been! Tell yourself the Truth... No matter what and watch what becomes of it!
