KAUA‘I MIDWEEK 11
The Risk Of Being You
“Be yourself” is something I heard growing up, knew was import- ant, but never understood.
Now that I do, I see how hard it is to show up as our authentic selves, so we wear masks to make it easier.
It’s risky to show up as “you” because you never know what kind of push- back you’ll get or disadvantage it might trigger. Yet, we betray ourselves every time we show up as inauthentic versions of ourselves.
To start finding yourself in order to be yourself, make a simple commitment to listen to, and surrender to recognizing what feels right for you in each moment. That’s the only way to find your way back to you.
The alternative is to slowly die while you’re still alive. Is it worth the pain?
