personal-truth

So for me the essence of life is very simple. It is just this, awareness that allows us to trust in our own truths (without feeling any need to convince others), living gracefully amidst the chaos, maintaining a sense of balance (not being pulled around by the supposed opposites or false paradoxes), and being able to choose how we direct our lives.

The world is full of confusion and contradiction. We cannot expect to do anything that is absolutely right. We can only measure rightness by the truth within ourselves. And our own truth will never be quite the same as somebody else's.

To think because you have been __aved_ that you are now sane is insanity. God doesn__ fix the mind. He only gives you opportunities to have moments of clarity. It is your job to climb the mountain and see above the clouds for yourself, not to believe the congregation's interpretation of the view.

We might feel that we must demonstrate explicitly when we__e upset, or not upset. This perceived need may stem from our family of origin, from how we learned to be heard when a simple __o_ wasn__ enough. We may have learned to mask certain feelings, or portray feelings that weren__ ours. But as adults we each need to learn to state our personal truth without having to prove it or shout it.
