Fearlessly You.

Good day, Sunday readers!

All the books on self-improvement, personal development, almost all movies and much of the fictional literature seem to be teaching us mainly one thing, namely : discovering why we are here and being unashamed to be ourselves. We fear so many things, and yet, fear is just a prison we step into willingly. Instead of fear  have faith. Instead of fearing you will not succeed, have faith that you are already successful. Be fearless. Be you.  Be fearlessly YOU.The others will not notice the difference. If they are bothered by you, then, they also will be bothered by you being fearlessly you. So, WTF?

We are constantly reminded that we can only approach a satisfying level of happiness when we allow ourselves to accept every aspect of our personality, the shady side and the bright one. Things to improve and things already good in us.

It sounds easy, and the multiple quotes we may come across during the day make us think that it’s easy. In a way, it is. The main obstacle may be precisely our very self. This self we have difficulty to accept sometimes or all the time, or to understand , or that is playing tricks on us, because there are times when we are hit by sadness, discouragement, depression, anger, fear, loneliness, jealousy. There are times when the pressure is to hard to contain, or is triggered by a word, a song, something that add a little more steam and then we are, astonished by our own reaction.

We are seldom upset by perfect moments of happiness. And when we are overjoyed or experiencing bliss, we rarely do things that we are not very satisfied with.

So we learn to deal with it. The best way being, of course, to regret nothing and integrate those reactions into our global self, and to carry on. Problem is : we are our strongest censor, which can lead to sabotage our strategy to reach our goals. In those moments, we become our own personal enemy. And this enemy can stick around for a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Usually, we are judging ourselves by assuming what others think about us. And usually, we give a shit whereas they do not. They just do not bother taking time to reflect on it. They just have no time for you.

So, instead, it’s probably safer and easier to sign a truce and work with the power hidden in our shady side.

And carry our load a little farther, a little longer and a little stronger. Micro-victories upon ourselves that we can be proud of, and that we can use to fuel our dedication  to reach those impossibly crazy goals. Shoot for the Sun, and you’ll land amongst the stars.

Take a hero, a simple noble heart. A model to help you harness your desires and your dreams, a powerful figure to restore your courage and your will, a personality packed with kindness and determination, a genuine model for you to travel side by side on the chaotic and marvelous path of life.

Read his or her biography, and you’ll discover all the battles he or she had to fight, the somber moments of self-deprecation or adversity which clouded their courage or sincere enthusiasm.

Choose your hero, your mentor, your Pygmalion wisely, for he or she’ s gonna be your guide, your teacher, your personal coach, your inspiration and your reference in values you want to stick to or you are willing to attach to your life to, to your personality and your work. You want this person to become a part of your self-empowerment, the foundation upon which you will structure your own personal architecture, because you have higher goals, or achievements for your self and your beloved ones than others can think of.

And you will succeed. You are already on the path of success.

We all are, from the minute we decide we want to better ourselves and respond to our true call and put all our energy, forces, strengths, life-driven desires and iron determination. Stay loyal to your life, self, call, hero. Honor them and fuel them with joy and hard work, self-confidence and kindness towards others.

As for me,  the strong figure and perfect model, this hero, is George Leigh Mallory, the British climber who pioneered the route to Mount Everest from the North Col.

Be yourself and be proud of it.

It does not take much and it makes all the difference.

Be yourself and be proud. A good philosophy, I should say….

So, here’s the only possible advice : Whatever your field, have you chosen your path or not (so far, things seemingly impossible at 25 can turn available to do 10 years later), there’s a way to make the best out of it : be yourself.

It’s sometimes scary, but try it, even if the others are surprised or do not fully understand. Allow yourself to be true and sincere. Because you need to allow your inner self to be known in order to recognize it yourself. You do not need to be strong all the time. Others need you to be strong, because it’s easier that way, minimum effort to be made. On the other hand, one can get tired of being always cheerful and with a smile plastered on the face, when one feels one needs a rest.

It may be extremely long to figure out and to accept. But happiness, better still, bliss is worth the try, don’t you think?

Be bold.

Be fearlessly audacious.

Be as strong as you can. Allow yourself to be as weak as you feel. Hold on to your personal beliefs.

Honor yourself. Honor your emotions. They exist, they just need to be acknowledged for what they are and are then better dealt with afterwards.

Don’t let go of your very essence.

No one, NO ONE, will ever tackle the battlefield in your shoes. Some may fight for some rights they think they share with you, because they will find their achievement or their goal, or a brief distraction from their own struggle  in doing so, but remember, that in the end, you alone can fight for your self, and by your self.

You may and will find support and comrades entangled in the same human condition while en route to find your voice, you will also encounter joykillers, or abusive friends (and I wish you, instead, to stumble upon a fairplay enemy), and emotion cheaters or oblivious people…

Don’t let go of what is the true you, and do not be ashamed of your actions when they are a pure and sincere expression of you (provided, of course, they’re not malicious, that’s obvious, hey mate) or of your sheer emotions.

At least, 50% you meet do not like you, so be it… But for the right reason, ok?  People do not have to tell you what will bring you happiness. They do not know you, they do not know what your life is, if they are scared when you open a little the door about yourself, then, you won’t waste time with them, because who you are does not interest them. But only what you offer and what they can grab from you is the motivation.

Be yourself, know yourself, embrace yourself with love. Empower yourself. It’s easy, it’s free, it can make happiness last forever. It’s within you and there’s chance that the discreet source inside your soul is obliterated by the tumult of this society or the uproar of others surrounding you. So listen carefully, trust it, trust your guts and your intuition and hold on to it.

Life’s too short.

Life really is too short…

Live.

Live as the being you are meant to be, not as the character they want you to embody.

I started to do it, and it’s better.

Floreva, a little more self-empowered tonight…
