Running away

Posted on by philipdodson

The more we run away and hide from life, the harder life becomes. We run so far away from our true-self that it becomes frightening to go back to it

We have to stop running and hiding and be brave enough to take that leap into the unknown. It might not work, but it might too. That’s the beauty of life, the uncertain adventure.

If we make that leap a small step, we can face it and then take another step and keep stepping moment by moment, nothing too big.

If we focus beyond now and one step, we keep running away. It’s too much when we try to make giant leaps as our minds get wrapped up with the outcome and then sabotage any attempt to take the journey.

Take a step towards the dream and who knows? Make it small but take it.

Bare yourself to the world

We can only truly be ourselves if we let go of all the roles the mind makes us play. Presenting this false image to the outside world, the subterfuge that we engage in daily…masking ourselves in fear of the real person being seen.

To be truly ourselves we have to quit acting and start just being. We have to be brave enough to be brutally truthful and faithful to the person we really are. We have to step away from the charade and become the naked version that we hide.

The different hats we wear to act out all those stories, that our ego wants us to be, only mask the real you and me.

We suffer behind these masks and facades…where the real person is crying to be seen.

Let go of stories, throw out the costumes and bare the real you to the world and end the suffering each acted out role causes us and others.
