I am so proud of you! It takes courage t...Hi Cara,<br /><br />I am so proud of you! It takes courage to get real and stop digging one's head in the sand and explore one's discomfort. <br /><br />To be real one has to embrace both positive and negative aspects, not be a beacon of chirping positivity! That would be denying reality. The irony is as we embrace the negative, we then have the ability to turn it into a positivity, for we reclaim it's energy and turn it back into light.<br /><br />You are digging deep girl and the only way out is through the darkness that you are currently wading through. Stay the course and you will find that there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Look that fear in the eye and it will dissolve into light because that is what you are made of.<br /><br />The problem is you believed a lie: the lie that you were not worthy. This probably happened sometime in your childhood (either by a parent or childhood experience) and you have been operating as if this was true for a very long time. Sadly, at the time this decision was made you had very little knowledge of the world and weren't mature enough to know it was a lie. <br /><br />Until we start to face and question our deepest beliefs they will continue to have a hold on us and we will act as if they are true. Intellectually you know this belief is not true but it is now time to heal your emotional reality. <br /><br />What you have hated about yourself is simply your humanness. You aren't perfect, you are fragile and weak in some places, and strong in others. Just like everyone else!<br /><br />It is time to embrace the whole package and become whole. To be whole is to become fully human, not perfect. This is all any of us can hope to be. <br /><br />To heal the split inside of you requires you to lovingly embrace all aspects of yourself; not run away, avoid or reject parts of yourself.<br /><br />As you do so, you will find yourself becoming strong where you once felt weak and broken, for you will have come home to yourself. <br /><br />P.S. I am putting a link on my website to yours, as I would love my readers to follow your courageous journey. Feel free to do the same.<br /><br />Love, hugs, and insight,<br /><br />Catherine L.

What you wrote made me quite emotional because I recognize myself in your words. I have made myself feel undeserving so many times. I still do it all the time and I shouldn't. You just inspired me to start dealing with this issue. Thank you, Cara :)Florianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807123378870495614noreply@blogger.com
