Living in YOUR truth

 

Ok....let's catch up shall we?  It's literally been two weeks since I've posted and I haven't mastered the art of reaching multiple goals without at least one of them suffering.  Journal content is coming along....I'm loving the guise of reviewing the content I'm putting into it and taking my time that I don't "rush the process". This will be my first BIG publication.  I hadn't published anything outside of poetry and I'm super excited to see how this will go.  Completed the 60 mile challenge for April and looking forward to May's challenge. I am...for the first time in my entire adult life....LIVING in MY truth.  It's one thing to live, but it's another to LIVE.  How often do we look at others "living their best lives" and wondering how the hell did they get there? lol I was definitely one of those people.  I wanted to live in my OWN truth, but in the process continue to please people.  There's no such thing. You are either going to live in your own truth and piss people off or please people and be miserable.  No gray areas love. 

Living in your truth means you accept YOU.  Flaws (in progress or not) and all.  Now...I'm not saying stop growing...stop hustling...stop being a better you..... I'm saying be TRANSPARENT with YOURSELF. Accept the things YOU love about you and CHANGE the things you can live without.  NO ONE carries your burdens but GOD, so you don't owe ANYONE an explanation of how you live your life.  Be unapologetic about who you are and what you stand for.  Be your own cheerleader. LOVE yourself. 

If I had known years ago that I would have the peace I have now from simply being me, I would've started a long time ago.  But the truth is, we all want to be accepted and loved- even at the cost of jeopardizing our own happiness.  Is it worth it? hmph.....I'm sure that answer is debatable.  Still, for ME, I'm choosing to live in my own truth. And if that means riding or eating alone, I'm perfectly okay with that.
