Today I am speaking about facing the reality,
Facing our lives,
As they present themselves to us.
Are we living the life we want and deserve to live?
Sometimes we live in,
Let's say,
Such a blind way,
That we may think that we are living,
But we are actually just letting it happen to us.
This can relate to any aspect of our lives,
Or even to all of them at the same time.
It's as if we settle for less,
Because for some reason we believe this is it,
This is the life we must have,
Or the life we could wish to have,
Or the life we think we could have.
And so we justify and give excuses for all the negative experiences that we actually are living and that we may be even disguising.
This may happen because we don't know any better,
Because we don't have any better reference,
And so we think and say to ourselves that life is supposed to be this way.
Also,
Even if we intuitively know that there is something wrong that should be addressed,
We may be scared of facing it,
Because we know that if that doesn't change,
We may have to leave something behind,
And we may be afraid that everything falls apart.
Nobody really wants to go through the feeling of lust,
Of losing one or more people,
A lover,
A friend,
A job,
An entire life sometimes,
And having to rise from the ashes.
But we can't have the life we dream of unless we set healthy boundaries.
We have to distinguish very well what we want from what we don't want.
We have to filter what comes into our lives.
And I am not talking about something that happens occasionally.
This is about doing it all the time.
I really mean all the time.
We are conscious beings,
And unless we use that consciousness,
We won't be able to master the power of creation,
And we won't be able to create the reality that we want.
This is about living at the moment,
And turn each moment into the moment we want.
I give you a very trivial example.
When we call friend,
Invite us to go out.
We don't want to go,
Because when we are with that friend,
We don't feel at our best,
Or we feel that we don't fit,
Or that we don't like what we hear,
Or that we don't truly resonate with that friend.
But we tell ourselves that we have to go,
Because it's our friend,
They invited us,
How kind of them,
And we don't want to create any problem,
Because we like the idea of having friends.
So as a result,
We go out,
We pretend to be happy,
And we come back home thinking that there is something wrong with us.
And there is,
In fact,
But not in the way we think.
It's that we are not respecting ourselves,
Our feelings,
Our preferences,
And so we stay in a reality that it's not our ideal.
We are perfect beings.
There is nothing wrong with us.
But when we do this,
We force ourselves to be something that we are not,
And to be part of an experience that we don't like,
And so we don't leave space to what really resonates with us.
It's like the story of the ugly duckling.
While he's trying to fit into a reality that is not made for him,
He feels pushed away.
He feels awkward,
And he feels that there is something wrong with him.
But because he was pushed away,
And he had no other choice than to go into the world and search for his tribe,
He was able to find it.
And once it happens,
He finally feels at home,
At peace.
He can finally express and be himself totally.
And this is what we all deserve to experience.
But in order to have it,
We have to be honest with ourselves and truly answer this question,
Am I living the life I want and deserve to live?
Let's be honest,
At least to ourselves,
And give ourselves a true answer.
How many of us are living the life of their dreams?
And I don't mean the life of their possibilities,
The life they can afford,
The life that they can have,
Or the life that their parents or friends have.
I mean the life of their profound dreams.
Ask the question and give a true answer.
As you answer,
Many things will come to you that you may want to address,
To change,
Or even to let go.
At that moment,
Grab a pen and a piece of paper and write down all the things you want to keep in your life and all the things you don't want anymore.
This way you can face the reality in which you are currently living and be able to do something about it.
In order to pursue your dreams,
Nobody will fix our lives for us.
Only we can do that.
It's up to you.
Do you want to conform to the known reality or do you want to step into the magical zone of the unknown reality of your dreams?
You have the power.
Believe in it and offer yourself the chance to manifest your best version.
Choose happiness.
