Living Authentically...Living My Truth: Two Dogs

Two Dogs

There is a story they tell of two dogs. Both at separate times walk into the same room. One comes out wagging his tail while the other comes our growling. A woman watching this goes into the room to see what could possibly make one dog so happy and the other so mad. To her surprise she finds a room filled with mirrors. The happy dog found a thousand happy dogs looking back at him while the angry dog saw only angry dogs growling back at him. What you see in the world around you is a reflection of who you are.

What is Authenticity

For me...When you are living authentically, you feel happy and optimistic. You are honest and open and listen to your feelings. You can think for yourself, you are open to change; you can take responsibility, ask for help, and make healthy choices. More importantly, you want to do your best.

Your authentic voice is that quiet, persistent messenger who speaks to your intuition, telling you what is right for you and what you really need.

While it may seem easier to stay in your comfort zone, finding the courage to be who you really are in all areas of your life will help you realize your true potential. To get to your true self, you may have to examine dreams you have forgotten, fears that are holding you back, or beliefs that are not your own.

While there may be some twists and turns along the way, living authentically means that you are able to live by your own personal truth. When you live by who you really are, you find not only freedom and well-being but also the joy of giving your talents to the world.

Finding the truth about who you really are and what is important to you takes honesty and awareness. It exists every day, in the big decisions and small choices you make, in the pursuit of your authentic self.

MY PERSONAL INTENTIONS

The Year Of Enlightenment & New Beginnings

This year marks a special time in our history as we enter a new era of enlightenment. In these transformational times, we will learn to focus on solutions rather than problems; love instead of hate; unity instead of division; togetherness instead of separateness; gratitude instead of want. Many years ago Gandhi said. "Be the change you wish to see in the world". The world will change by us helping and assisting one another. This is an exciting time and I plan to be part of this change happening in the world. This blog will consist of my thoughts as I help to affect the ripple of positive energy in my world.
