This post is all about finding your truth. You’ll learn how you can and why it’s so important that you do. You deserve to live a more authentic and fulfilling life!
Finding Your Truth: A Guide to Living Authentically
Spirit’s directing our attention to Truth today. So, my friend, what is true for you?
Our True Essence: Spirit in Human Form
As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one Truth and that is that we are Spirit having a human experience. That’s not ever going to change. Everything else, however, is subjective and will vary from person to person and even moment to moment. Finding your truth is the most important thing you’ll ever do.
Shifting Beliefs: A Sign of Growth
It’s important that we understand that our beliefs can and often do change over time. That’s a good thing! Most of them we took on or were fed by our parents, teachers, preachers, society, etc, when we were young. They’re what we operate through until such time as we begin to question their validity.
A Personal Story: From Atheism to Life Force Energy
When I was in high school I finally questioned my father the atheist. “So, let me get this straight,” I said. “You believe we’re born, live our lives, die, and that’s it? Nothing more?” His answer was simple, “Yes.”
That just didn’t make sense to me. While I didn’t know exactly what I believed, I knew there had to be some sort of animating Life Force Energy that is moving through us and everything else. My search to understand this has become an integral part of my life ever since.
The Power of Perception: Examining Beliefs
I remember once listening to a Greek woman saying with absolute, 100% conviction that all Greek men are _____. I don’t even remember what it was except that it was intolerable to her. All I could think then was that there had to be at least one Greek man who was an exception to her rule. I don’t know whether that belief has shifted for her but, for everyone’s sake, I hope it has.
Questioning Beliefs: The Path to Personal Growth
I hope you get my point here. As you grow and evolve by simply living your life, you’ll have new perspectives which will cause your thinking and beliefs to shift. Life is a journey of finding your truth and aligning with it.
I knew one woman who, after a string of unpleasant experiences with Delta Airlines, realized she’d been operating through the belief that Delta Airlines had horrible customer service. She knew that wasn’t serving her well so she consciously adopted the opposite belief, that Delta had great customer service. This may seem farfetched to you, but her experience with Delta shifted to match that new belief and she was much happier with these new results.
Shifting Beliefs: Creating Your Reality
It’s not always so easy to shift your beliefs around like that. This woman had been doing the Avatar® course work and studying the way beliefs create reality. This is opposed to the commonly held belief that our reality creates our beliefs. It was an exercise of her stepping into her power and consciously creating the outcome she preferred by simply shifting her beliefs around.
Unearthing Limiting Beliefs and Finding Your Truth
You can do this too. Is there something in your life that you aren’t pleased with? Maybe there’s a repeating pattern that’s like a thorn in your side. Ask yourself: “What belief must I be operating through in order to have this experience?” When you recognize one or more beliefs that don’t serve you, write them down, and then turn them around into ones that do. And be sure you write down the new, empowering beliefs and fully adopted them.
Gratitude: Supercharging Your Journey
And while you’re at it, throw in some gratitude for this newfound awareness and let it supercharge your experiences. Heck, why not adopt the belief that everything is always working out for you even when it doesn’t look like it? The more of these broad, benevolent beliefs you can fully adopt and operate through, the more you welcome grace and blessings into your life.
Truth vs. Lies: The Energetic Cost of Deception
And let’s take a look at telling the truth versus a lie. What’s the energy behind lying? Why are we afraid to tell the truth? What (or who) is it we’re protecting in the process? Why do we think it or they can’t handle the truth or the consequences of the truth being exposed?
Honesty: The Path to Alignment
Whether you’re outright lying or holding back the truth by keeping a secret, have you noticed how much energy it takes to maintain this lack of truth? Secrets are a major energy suck that take you out of alignment with your Truth, your Higher Self. You never feel good when holding back the truth and, if you do it for long, your life will go on a tailspin into negative territory.
In fact, if you’re in negative territory now, look back at when things first started going badly. Notice the nature of the thoughts you’d been thinking, beliefs you’d been operating through, or secrets you’d held in the months prior to that point. Were you judging yourself or someone else harshly? Had you lied, done something you regret, or been hiding something about yourself or someone else? What were you trying to preserve?
Facing the Truth: Reclaiming Your Power
Do a thorough inventory and deep inquiry into why. Whatever you discover, come clean. Always know that anything and everything can be corrected. Tell the truth. Bring it out into the open. Make whatever amends are necessary and bring yourself back into alignment with your Truth. This is when the downward spiral will stop and the upward trajectory can begin. Finding your truth and aligning with it is the most empowering and rewarding act of courage possible.
Facing Challenges: The Journey of Growth
Remember, we are all Spirit having a human experience. Life is not meant to be easy all the time and making “mistakes” is a part of the journey. We have to be challenged in order to grow. Everything that happens in our lives will shape who we become and what we do in the future.
A Story of Truth and Empowerment
A few years ago I spent 8 days with a friend who was fighting the resurgence of breast cancer. Her daughter was 13 years old at the time and had lost her father when she was 3. Her daughter’s life hadn’t been easy and I know my friend was doing all she could to prevent it from getting worse. While I was there she finally told her daughter that her cancer had come back. You know what the first words from her daughter were? “Why didn’t you tell me?!”
Transforming Your Reality: Shifting Beliefs for a Brighter Life
It wasn’t an easy situation for either of them but her daughter deserved to know the truth. While my friend had made arrangements and assigned a guardian for her daughter in case the worst should happen, her daughter made the decision to take her future into her own hands and aligned herself with someone more to her liking. And lo and behold, this ultimately turned out to be the best arrangement for all involved.
Align with Your Truth: Embrace Your Power
Align with your Truth, and then do what your heart knows is right to do. It may be scary, but your Higher Self is far more powerful than you know and able to overcome any and all of your fears and obstacles. Trust in the Truth of who you are and let it be your guide as you step forward and begin living your ideal life.
I hope this post has helped you on your path to finding your truth so that you can live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
