Be True

Once I wrapped a finger-shaped crystal with bubble wrap, and then I stuck small fish hooks all over the outside of the bubble wrap. I did this to illustrate that in the heart of us is purity, where Light lives. But that Light gets blocked by what we wrap around and allow to hook us. These "hooks" make us behave in ways that mask the truth of who we are.

Do you know what your hooks are? Whatever pulls you out of being the person you truly are--the one you want to--be the one that makes you happiest--is a hook.

Sometimes being true to myself is uncomfortable. It makes me face unpleasantness, be honest, and take action. It might make others uncomfortable. Sometimes it means I won't be doing what everyone else is doing. But oh, the exhilaration that follows as I realize I've been true to myself!

Maybe, just for today, you could slip out of the bubble wrap and simply be true to yourself.

You write it:  What will you do today that is true to yourself?
