Bona Fide

From the very start of our lives, we come into the world like none other.
The world is for us to see through our eyes and our eyes only.

We can stand beside someone either in the playground, on the basketball court, on the construction site, or in the Board Room, and no matter what we are looking at, be it the same thing someone else may be looking it; we will always see things differently from those playing, standing or working beside us.
 
We share this world with millions of beautiful creatures. We have the opportunity to share beautiful and meaningful experiences with many of these millions, if we are lucky enough.
The connecting of souls happens like magic. We ourselves as one person are on this earth to offer insight, care, love; whatever it may be, to others, because of what we, ourselves, stand for.
This is our gift. It should be treated as such.
 
When ego gets in the way of our authenticity, many things can happen. We look for love, acceptance, through the expectations of others, and as a result lose our “selves” in the process.
Friends, family members and media shape our views of life right from the get go, making it a difficult task to maintain and embrace our individual selves.
But without living authentically, we will not be able to truly experience all that we, ourselves, were put on this earth to experience.
Ultimately, we are taking away from ourselves the beauty that life has to offer.
 
To make matters more complicated, by following our ego’s guide to be accepted as anything other than “us”, we are also taking from all those around us, whose souls are here to connect with ours.
We can sense when we are working more from an EGO stand point than a true self stand point, when we can feel our energies not in alignment with the universe, when we feel we are stumbling through life- perhaps even stubbing our toes, walking into walls, and feeling an actual physical sense of being “off kilter.”

Not feeling like we are getting in life what we truly would like to attract, we will lack a sense of accomplishment, and lack a sense that we are in true alignment with what we love and what we are passionate about. We may notice resentment as most of what we do is not for ourselves, and for our journey; but more for assisting in the journey of others.
 
So, instead of fearing not being accepted for who you are- be that much more adamant about being all that you are, all that you can be, so you can ensure that you are making not just the most of your life, while in this world but helping those so blessed with the opportunity to be touched by you, all of what your authentic self stands for.

And remember you can lean on others once in a while, too..
