Is Now The Right Time?

Hey Family,

I am going to switch my posting up a bit.  I’m going back to my roots of posting because I feel like I am able to better articulate what I learn, and relate to you all in a more efficient manner.  I will also be posting more frequently.

Today I’m going to talk to you about expressing yourself.

In this world I see personality on a comfortability rating scale.  In simple terms, the more comfortable someone is, with not only themselves but the people around them, the more personality they are willing to share.

Let us analyze this shall we?

Have you ever had that feeling when you met someone, that you have known them forever?  It’s almost like they had an immediate understanding with you about how you felt on everything, and could relate to you on almost every level as well.  Upon meeting this person you had the feeling you could literally talk about anything, for an extended period of time, and never skip a beat.  With this person you had established comfortability at a very high level, and because you two did not know each other very well, there was so much to talk about.  It felt like because you two had not been involved in each others’ lives prior and have such an understanding, you needed to get to know each other so you may continue interactions and grow together.  This is how friends are made.

Then there is the reverse side to things.  Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like everything you said came off the wrong way, and minor details were being drawn out of the words you say in a negative prospective?  I’ve had this recently, and I’m realizing it is because of that comfortability factor, and the lack thereof.  If this is someone you’ve known for a long time and they are acting this way toward you, it hurts.  I have a situation currently where I feel this happening to me on a daily basis.  When I am in this environment I feel like I need to get out.  I feel like the negative energy is all around, and He is screaming in my ear yelling, “Heath… its time to move on mayne!”

Don’t get me wrong, if this is only a single person in a group of people that is by no means to eliminate yourself from a group or culture.  This would be the case if it’s a common perspective or mindset among the people you interact with every day.  You need to protect yourself.  You need to love yourself enough to move on.

Life is about loving yourself enough to be around people who understand you, and want you to be you.  Think back about the last time you truly expressed yourself, and showed a friend, co-worker, or your family what you had done.  It felt good to show them did it not?  Every time I do this I feel like I am showing the world who I am, what my true colors are, and what I represent.  It feels amazing, and it makes me not care about people judging me on it because I love myself enough to continue surrounding myself with those good feelings about being myself, and not hiding who I am to people.

When was the last time you expressed yourself?

Today I challenge you to express yourself for who you are, and see where it takes you.  Who knows, maybe someone you meet or have known for a while has that same hidden passion.

Have a blessed day,

Heath
