Doing the opposite to what brings us joy

We always feel most at ease and peace inside when we are truly ourselves, when we are not wearing any hats, when we are not acting out any roles, when we are not trying to fit in. We feel most at ease when we set our boundaries, when we do not justify ourselves, when we do not seek approval or permission.

Amazingly we spend most of our lives doing the opposite of what brings us peace and joy. We are always trying to fit in, trying to please others, acting out roles, seeking approval and permission and fearing being our true self in case we offend someone.

Madness given we only get one shot at this human experience on this rock.

Just be you and enjoy the journey and the ones who are the true beings will get you as you are and those who don’t, well they have a different journey to yours.

It’s our journey

If something or someone doesn’t bring us peace, joy, nourish our soul and make us feel good then best to stop engaging with it or them.

We don’t have to be confrontational, we don’t have to make a scene, we do not need to justify our choices to anyone. We can just peacefully walk away. When we feel the need to justify or make a statement or fight something or someone, then it is from our mind and its ego. Being ourselves, and simply stepping away peacefully and without any drama or attachment comes from our true essence and soul.

We never have to justify or seek permission. It’s our journey, be with who you feel to be with and do things that bring you joy now in this moment.
