Free Yourself by Being Yourself

There is nothing more liberating than choosing to be yourself regardless of what others may think of you. When you learn to disregard the opinions of others and instead choose to be that inner you who wants to come out…man!! It is the best sensation in life! It’s like being high without the drugs. It’s being comfortable in your own skin. When I look back at my life I NOW understand I was always meant to be in communications. I just lacked the belief in myself to be good at it. I was unconscious to the notion and yet the signs were all there! I remember when I was a little girl my mother had a typewriter where it wasn’t quite a computer, but you could type and there was a digital display of the line typed before it would print. I used to love to play with that thing! I also loved keying on old typewriters. I thought it was the most fascinating thing ever: pressing a button and seeing a metal device lift and puncture a letter on a piece of paper (clack, clack, clack). That led me to wanting to learn how to type fast and so I took a keyboarding class in high school as an elective. I got the inspiration from a kids show called Ghostwriter (90s show), where a group of kids would solve problems through a computer. I also recall being told I was extremely talkative as a child. Another clue! I loved to share information and quite frankly it’s something I still enjoy doing today. It’s like the Universe has been trying to reveal myself to me since childhood and I wasn’t picking up the clues. Actually, if I think of it deeper, I remember senior year in high school I contemplated applying to college to major in journalism. When I went home and shared the idea with my mother it was shut down. At the time I was an insecure teenager and thought someone outside of me knew what was best for me than my own inner voice. So in reality I squandered my own dream and chose to live in a bubble for the next 22 years. I really have been living unconsciously for quite some time! In senior year of high school I took a pre-college course in order to gain college credits…want to guess what it was? Writing. Why I chose accounting as my college major baffles me now because the interest has always been there. I guess I needed the derailment in order to gain experience and confidence in myself.

So now here I am. Writing. I don’t know what the subjects will be, but hey: there’s beauty in not knowing how things will turn out. You just have to go with the flow. Yea, it can be scary, but the way I see it is that I rather reach the end of my years with the least amount of regrets as possible. From what I’ve come to experience, regrets come from the things never done as opposed to the things we did experience and maybe could’ve handled differently. I do it because I want to more than the idea of somebody reading it. The joy is for me and if I can inspire and help others on the way even better! You just have to be yourself and take a chance on you. May the chips fall where they may!

It’s just amazing how many times the Universe has tried gear me in the right direction and I wasn’t aware. So much so it’s in my birth chart! Just in case you need any validation about your thoughts on how to proceed in life: look at your natal chart. It packs wisdom on your inner being! When I turned 30 I had my first spiritual awakening (an awareness that I was more than just this body) and I asked myself what is the thing I do easily and effortlessly? Turns out the gift of gab, speaking, sharing information is what came up within a few minutes. AND if all of that is not a testimony to my calling, when I met my twin flame he worked in media. Yea, I didn’t know he was my twin flame at the time, but I did find it peculiar that the man I fell in love with worked in the industry I actually wanted to belong to. He’s not a talker like me, but he works in communications. My point is that the Universe will show you what’s in your best interest, you just simply have to follow suit and let the magic work itself out. So now at 38 I FINALLY embark on a career I’ve known for the last 8 years is what will bring me the most joy. Better late than never!!!

The whole point I’m sharing all of these moments in my life is because how many times can you say something like this has happened to you? Where life is trying to show you the direction in which you should go and instead you completely ignore it and keep heading down a different path? I know I can’t be the only one who has experienced this! If you feel dissatisfied in your current profession that’s a way of life speaking to you too. You already know what it is you want to do. so why aren’t you doing it? Is it fear, insecurities, lack of self worth? Or maybe you think that there are so many people already doing what you would want to do so why bother? My mind would say the same thing to me, but what’s truly important is to know that the career you choose is for YOU. Not for anyone else. It is for your own self realization and fulfillment. So if you’re reading this and have no idea what it is that you want to do with your life in order to bring a new level of fulfillment I recommend you sit quietly and let your life receive that answer. And if you do know what it is that you want to pursue, then the only way it will get done is by doing it. Have faith in yourself and believe that whatever you have to share there is someone out there who will appreciate it! And if there isn’t (highly unlikely, but we’ll leave the option on the table) then at best you did something for yourself that lightens up your heart.
