Facing Your Truth

What do you do when someone impose their wishes and desires on you? Do you do what they wish or do you stand up for your own truth? In the past, I would do what other people expected me to do whether I liked it or not because I didn't want to hurt their feelings, especially when it was my family members. I remembered feeling awful or frustrated; I was torn between pleasing them or pleasing myself.  Since then, I have learned more about myself: who I really am, what is my truth, what is not truth or what is a lie, my passion, my desires, and my goals.   Thanks to my friend and co-worker Camille Crump for opening up my eyes to see the truth about myself.  It is a process, sometime it is a very painful process but it was done with love. It takes time, willingness to be open, believe in myself, trust and surrender.  I won't say that it is an easy process. I am still working on it.
Many of you might feel the same way as I did. You might feel it is hard to say no to others because you might offend them.  You are only responsible for your own feelings or your own truth, if other people get their feelings hurt; it is because of their ego, not you.  So my challenge to you is to stand up to your truth.  How do you know if it is the truth or the lies you have been telling yourself?  If anything that you believe is true causes you worry, frustration, uneasiness, or any part of it is not true, then it is a lie.  Start with  loving yourself and believing in yourself, you never know what miracles will lie before you, or what emotional freedom you will have.  Because everyday holds the possibility of a miracle.
