There comes a time in your life, usually when you are older, when you stop trying to find your place out there in the world. Many of us have been lifelong people pleasers. We have hidden behind masks, modified our behavior, and even side-stepped our own path for the approval of others. It felt like a performance because that’s what it was. We wanted to fit in . . . but more than that, we just wanted to be loved.
You get to a point, however, when you can no longer keep up the deception, and you begin to find home within yourself. Life isn’t about living for others. It is, and always has been, a beautiful unfoldment of who you truly are deep down inside. And this realization helps you embrace the fact that what other people think of you does not define you, nor is it any of your business.
Your business is how you see yourself, how you treat yourself, how you choose to use your own unique gifts and talents, and how you choose to bring your wishes and dreams to life. When you step up to the plate over and over again, choosing you, standing in your own truth, and listening to your own wisdom, life changes. Your heart expands, your light radiates, and you come to appreciate the incredible person gazing back at you in the mirror.
The opinions of others are just projections. And they are never meant to define who you are or the purpose of your life. It’s safe to be you!
