A lie will never register in you, even if you tell it to yourself.
Your eternal presence is made from such truth, love, and beauty that can’t allow a lie to enter its fields. The lie would feel like pain inside even if it worked to your benefit. There is an innocent, loving nature in you which wants to resonate with boundless beauty and truth. The slightest lie feels like pain even if it is only considering yourself inferior or unlovable. Feeling inferior and unlovable does not resonate with your truth, therefore it is like a lie that makes you feel bad in your skin. It stops the inner beauty from shining out. The beauty becomes imprisoned inside you until the day you notice this self-talk is not true and you change it.
We cannot do much to change our outer appearance as our beauty. The way we appear in this world gives us no clue to our inner beauty. Our options for seeing inner beauty are in what we do, what we create, and how harmonious it is with our definite inner beauty. When the waves of what we do and how we think resonate with our inner truth rather than interfere, we become clear and our inner beauty can be seen. The beauty inside is in everyone. It is bound with love and rooted in truth. Therefore it can emanate from inside out when the entire path is clear. It is the state of clarity that brings peace to you, the honesty with yourself that allows your inner beauty to shine out.
Being yourself is authentic and the most beautiful way to be.
The most honest way to be is to be yourself.
The most beautiful way to be is to be yourself.
The easiest way to be is also to be yourself.
When you are yourself, you are authentic.
So being authentic is the easiest way to be!
It is much harder of a struggle trying not to be you!
Trying to be like someone else consumes so much energy that it lowers your ability to remain calm. If you decided to do so, the slightest criticism can burst you to extreme anger, internally or externally.
Celebrate who you are by simply being the way you truly are, for there is no other truthful and beautiful way to be.
Walking the Way to Yourself
It requires courage to walk the way to know one’s true self, the true and beautiful self.
If you think there is not a happy ending in seeing yourself at the end, know that this is an idea you bought into at a young age.
You would never buy it if it were offered to you now. Take another look and examine this idea.
There is a jewel in you.
There is something precious in your existence. Just remove the shells away and you’ll see it.
Michelangelo was asked how he managed to make the magnificent sculpture of David. He replied that he did not make it. He saw the David in the stone; he removed the excess stone and released the angel.
Michelangelo must have felt the presence of David by inner vision, carefully hammering on the exact parts of the stone, carving out gently, layer by layer not to hurt David’s figure, until David appeared out of marble in his complete form.
This may be the story of humans seeking their eternal truth. Navigating through life, with no proof, but an inner conviction.
But the conviction is not enough; actions are needed, making points, and creating rhythms tenderly and carefully. We work on and on, until what we long dreamed of finally appears. The world can be filled with this kind of work when we all appear out of our illusions and confusions.
Start practicing to see beauty as soon as possible. Follow the thread from the outer beauty of the sky and nature to the far ends of eternity, where you discover your true self. At the end, who you become is who you have always been.
You are not new to the universe, you were always known.
But this new you is a new self-image that better represents your truth.
A self-image that cannot change by resolution alone but by thousands of small and important actions, like the dots that compose the shape of your drawing.
Being your true self is as dynamic as beauty is. Once you reach the state of being yourself, it is still not the end.
The waves under the surf board never stop, and you will keep on balancing yourself by changing gestures, only this time confidently and more easily. Even when you seem still, your mind needs to continuously adapt to the new flow of life events. Being your true self is a state of meditation in motion.
