To return to Authentic Self…I summon Courage, Clarity, Wisdom and Truth. Therein I find peace, love, joy, comfort and compassion for myself, and all that is. I lay aside any need to manipulate what is, with true knowledge and faith, that what I need comes effortlessly to me.
This does not mean I sit idle, it simply means there is no need to subtly or forcefully convince anyone else, that they must do, act, perform or be who I want them to be to meet my needs. Nor do I need to force any situation to change to match my needs or desires. I accept myself and love myself as I truly Am, and set aside illusions or constraints of who I think I should be or what I think I should do. In other words, I love myself as I AM and I don’t have to act, perform or be anything other than me.
We say to the world and others all the time: Take me or leave me. If someone chooses to leave, that does not change who we are. However, our reactions to their choice can take us away from what we think of ourselves. and the truth that we are Light and Love.
It takes patience, forgiveness and fortitude to find, embrace and live as our authentic selves, if that is what we truly desire.
