9 Tips to Be Yourself

In the event you temporarily forget, here are nine tips to be yourself, right here, right now:

1) Recognize innate perfection.  Anything you see in yourself that is less than perfect is illusion you imagine.

2) Relish the journey you create for yourself. In order to live dreams, you must take intention to action and run with it.

3)  Be honest with yourself.  Be truthful and authentic in all you do.  Then you have nothing to hide or lie about.

4) Accept what you are.   This requires seeing through what others think you are and not conforming. It takes courage.

5) Acknowledge the source of your power.  This does not stem from ego but from aligning with the heart or Spirit.  True power is grace and cannot be forced or controlled.

6) See your intrinsic value.  Choose to see everything is of equal value.  True balance is felt when inner and outer worlds feel same, and both point to the gift you give yourself.

7) Express your uniqueness.  Do not hide your visions, what you feel and know you exist to be.  Create a new baseline or accepted norm by fearlessly blazing a trail.

8) Love everything. Random acts of kindness are like 'paying it forward.'  Such behaviour uplifts the energetic dynamic of this planet. Being truly real/ yourself is loving everything equally without exception.

9) Create a new reality. Everything you think, feel and experience begins and ends in you.  To change your life, simply change your perception.

Recognize who you are

One of the most common dreams people share is the desire to work toward and become enlightened. These people admit they wish to love life more, or be more content and at peace.  They pray, aspire to be like Deities, living gurus, deceased masters or ordinary living people they know who just seem to be able to find joy where they are. One of the biggest ah-ha moments one can have relates to the perception of time. 

That is, the mastery of time is like mastering your true self. How you go about this is up to you.  What you perceive begins and ends inside yourself. When you understand psychological time and how it shapes your perception and thought processes, you begin to recognize the nature of this moment and all that is here and accessible to you right now.

Enlightenment is the moment you completely recognize who you are and integrate this heartfelt knowing by living more consciously.  Enlightenment expands as every moment feels fresh and new.  It is like innate goodness is being born and reborn whenever we appreciate the Now. You are the ony thing preventing yourself from being happy where you are.

It is always possible to tune into the energy vibration of basic goodness.  It is alive and flows through our entire being and all of creation.  Human beings are gifted with the ability to raise awareness and experience the warmth of love in infinite ways.  This is the Now from which everything arises and where everything you think you lose disappears. It is simply thought that blocks seeing what is always here. Thought is psychological time, an barrier you create to experience transcendence. True nature transcends time altogether.

The real power of choices

How many times in life do you tell yourself to behave in a certain way with the thought this will bring you a certain outcome?  The linear way of seeing is conditioned and a common assumption.

The ego will have you believe your behaviour determines a certain outcome, even when the unfolding is meant to be regardless of your behavior.  Perception alters experience.

Get this: the terms and conditions of your experience are pre-determined before your incarnation. Yet, you can make choices to change how you see, feel, live the quality of each moment.

Brace yourself: your choices do not make things happen.  Your choices determine the quality of the experience you are living out.  You are only talking to a  screen, versions of yourself.

Ultimately, every experience you have is an invitation to recognize the heart is always open.  Love flows freely unless you get in the way.  As adversity arises and you get emotional, ego is dissolving from your field, and you are being more authentic and deserve more love. Every experience invites you to be loving and to appreciate yourself more.  

Thus, unexpected change has the power to inspire your deepest growth.  When your focus and attention are not on loving yourself more then you unconsciously and energetically create relationships and conditions that invite you to do this.

The secret to living fully

The secret to living fully is to see things as the Soul or highest possible perspective sees them.   That is, the Soul does not judge. It does not believe or disbelieve.  It does not register significance or insignificance.  The Soul does not fear.  What specifically can you do to live fully? Consider these five points:

1) Love with equanimity.  Is the Soul's Way or Divine Way to love universally and unconditionally.  This is about seeing through your own conditioned filters, beyond judgement, to recognize the same light in everyone.  Be like the sun.  It shines on everyone and does not make choices.

2) View every experience as a chance for Soul lessons.   Be aware that as Soul comes to recognize things, it is rejuvenated or transformed, then the body and mind follow.  Lessons are available in illness, relationships, financial challenges, mental confusion, emotional imbalances.  Any perceived adversity blocks the experience of unlimited being and infinite abundance that is known through living fully.

3) Offer humble service.  This is a Self-less Path. Help for the sake of helping.  Love as its natural.  Give because you can. Virtue can be measured by high-level Spiritual being.  As you offer unconditionally- loving service, universal peace and forgiveness, perceived difficulties dissolve, spiritual debt (karma) is paid. What expands within cannot be described. 

4) Show respect and compassion for all creatures. See yourself mirrored in all you encounter.  Recognize inter-dependence in the web of life, that everything is of equal value and part of a delicate balance. Nothing is better or more useful than anything else.  We depend on all else to survive and thrive.

5) Take full responsibility for how you respond to life.  You are the source of your own perception.  To see only messages of love and harmony in all you experience is to see as the omniscient Spirit does. Such is the essence of soulful living.

5 Steps to expand your options

To think you are at a crossroads in your life is a breakthrough.  Raise awareness. Consider 5 steps to expand your options;

1) Accept that your beliefs about yourself and the world are incomplete.  Beliefs are self-created and accepted limitations. Who you are (unlimited being) has no-thing to do with beliefs.

2) Be willing to deepen understanding of yourself and the world.  Whether you understand or not makes no difference to Truth.  The panorama expands when you do not believe or disbelieve.

3) Be open to recognizing new possibilities.  Only in openness can clarity emerge.  Only then do you act as a mirror and no longer distort the bigger picture. You are now ready to see it.

4) Let go of barriers (prejudices) that block deeper vision.  Notice options are unlimited unless fear gets in the way. Courageously examine new possibilities.  Get out of the way.

5) Embrace core Nature.  This implies always being honest with yourself, listening closely to intuition, feeling your way through life. Know that how you live can reflect your highest view of love and compassion or deny it.  Love.  Infinite options to love exist.
