One's Truth

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Have you ever heard about the idea of walking in your truth? I can remember first hearing about this when Oprah would have shows about the subject, especially also with her Super Soul Sunday. There are also many writers who have written about the the idea of one's truth. I began to really connect the idea of truth to one's life much more so, when I began to understand how telling the truth from a social science / scientists perspective, are important for advancing the human condition. But I think that to walk in one's own truth is a little different, from that of research to contributing to the scientific community. 

     In my view: our own truth is who we have sought to be internally. However, to become our internal living truth, it must also come to be, in our outer self. For instance: Have you ever thought that you would decide to do / create something, but never did? This is an example of the internal self, remaining internal. Sometimes the internal truths, self or ideas, don't manifest in the outer realm, because there are many other outer forces that we ourselves are interacting with, due to the experience of being human. The key is not to allow destructive forces in. A simple example could be a negative conversation, an argument that has caused a disruption. But with this idea we have to remember that the human experience and interaction to going to happen - in other words we can't put a pause button on our life. 

   What it really does boil down to is how we ourselves manage our interactions, that are perceived either positive or negative. This really does take practice. As we ourselves have to come to know the self. Who we are, how we react, and any alterations that need to be done for self improvement / management, or keeping interactions healthy. 

     These ideas can also be related to the concepts of sympathy / empathy. I have always been a huge advocate for these, with a belief that you can only really understand another, when you walk in their shoes. However, to add to this; Our capacity to sympathize and empathize has to also be managed. Sometimes, depending on the situation / circumstances, these too can also be viewed as a destructive force, that harms the internal self. You might of heard of work / life balance, or life balance? These ideas are related to these concepts as well, however; in this case the destructive forces can limit how we ourselves walk in our truth. Another layer of complexity is added. Sometimes walking in our truth means letting go, which is often the most difficult, because of the bonds we form. To walk our truth sounds easy / simple, but the complexity of truly becoming what is within requires courage, determination, resilience, strength, from the very depths of one's being, the internal self, delicately balancing the reins.
