Baring My Soul is a category of writing where I share a personal piece of my life’s journey in an effort to do my part in maintaining connection because when we share our stories, we let someone know that they are not alone.
Everything you are about to read, I forget about myself at times. I wrote these reminders for us because sometimes we forget our greatness.
I am the muse.
The inspiration. Part of what makes us special is the capability we all have to connect and ultimately inspire. I am learning that when people connect to us on a certain level, some sort of stimulation often occurs. We all possess something in us that can awaken something in another person. Awareness of that power should challenge us to live our lives intentionally and truthfully. Ultimately, we place ourselves in the best position to connect with kindred spirits when we live our lives with intention and in truth. Additionally, we can’t forget that there are times we must be our own muse and dig deep within to awaken the things in us that need to be awakened.
I am the nymph.
The beauty. Sometimes seeing ourselves as beautiful is a struggle, but even when its a struggle, we are beautiful. I am learning that the more I work on my spirit, the more loving I am to my physical body. Our physical beauty is truly a reflection of our spiritual (inner) beauty; This is why we can meet someone and get to know them then how we physically view them changes - for better or worse. Embracing our beauty can be a rough and rocky journey sometimes, but we must face it. It is imperative that we all figure out our path to where no matter how what we physically see changes, we embrace the beautiful being we are.
I am the prize.
The gift. Each one of us has gifts inside of us. Those gifts and who we are makes us prizes. We are deserving of the best. We are worthy of goodness and light and love. Accordingly, we should deal with those who are deserving and worthy. Our energy and time is limited, sacred, and valuable. Due to this, we should be intentional and careful with who and what we give our energy and time. Things that we cherish we treat with care and love. We must cherish ourselves by respecting our energy and time by discerning who and what receives it.
