The greatest betrayal is not being lied to by others…
It is abandoning the truth within yourself.
Because once you lose yourself,
everything else begins to lose meaning too.
IMPORTANCE OF THE TRUTH
Ever since William Shakespeare gave us the words, “To thine own self be true,” humanity was handed a new compass point — a destination not only to seek, but to arrive at.
The journey I speak of is an inner one.
And time spent there is among the most rewarding and satisfying experiences a human being can have.
To know oneself is the beginning of knowing everything destined to be given to you.
THE WHO ARE YOU?
Identity — oneself — is a must know if one is to understand all that is submitted to them throughout life.
Our journeys are not accidents.
Though they appear random, they are custom designed for the individual for a reason.
And it is that reason that drives us.
Better known as…
the WHY.
THE REALITY OF HERE
Look at where you are right now.
Who among us cannot say:
“What a strange and interesting journey this has been.”
Our lives are made up of the choices we made in the moments we were given.
And when all those moments are added together, they bring us directly to the right here and now.
Where you are…
is what you chose.
WHO IS BEHIND ALL THIS?
That is a tremendous amount of attention to bestow upon one individual.
Yet no two people will ever have the exact same experience — only similarities stretching infinitely outward.
Who can do that?
Who can give such individual attention to everyone simultaneously and continue doing so endlessly?
Creator…
and creation.
SATISFACTION
When one begins to know themselves — the actual how and why of what makes them tick — meaning and purpose are added to the journey.
And this elevates the entire experience considerably.
Because once you know who you are and why, everything not only begins making sense…
it begins rewarding you deeply from within as you go.
NATURAL ADVENTURE
Becoming self-aware allows one to naturally identify the Awareness-Maker.
And from there, the life intended for you before you even arrived begins lining up with both your inside and your outside.
Life becomes more natural.
More laid back.
More aligned.
Awe, wonder and discovery slowly become your daily norm.
DRIVEN BY TRUTH
Betray this journey.
Go against the given path.
And now we understand the wisdom behind Shakespeare’s words.
If you are not true to yourself, then you are missing the very ingredient that powers the whole unit known as YOU.
I HAVE BEEN ROBBED
A “not you” will gladly substitute itself in your place.
And once that happens, you begin feeling off course, out of tune and disconnected from your surroundings, experiences and promises yet to come.
The intruder — whether a false thought, wrong counsel, mistake or deception — slowly determines what you receive instead of what your own heart was meant to experience.
This is subtle robbery at work.
Awareness weakens its power.
WANT THIS
Staying true to oneself guarantees that Truth will always have a home within you.
And where Truth lives, nothing false can remain for long.
During our time here, Truth will never leave nor forsake you.
It remains in your favor always…
wanting you,
if you will allow it.
If you pursue Truth,
Truth will pursue you.
Guaranteed.
Until eventually…
you become One.
ONE WILL
The evidence of a life lined up with itself is effortlessness and simplicity within daily living.
Not carelessness…
but peace.
A prospering where all things seem to arrive before the asking.
Another Will begins working alongside your own…
as it was always meant to be.
BE STILL AND KNOW
Take a moment.
Reflect.
Ponder how much is happening around you at all times and yet somehow you are able to observe it all.
Understanding concerning what truly matters and what genuinely involves you will be given.
And the rest?
The rest simply stands as testimony to a greater and most fascinating mystery at work besides your own.
May the Truth of this matter always be found within you…
now and in the times to come…
always.
