Perceptions & Purpose

Give yourself permission to be you and watch your path unfold before you.

     I always think it's funny when I catch myself worrying about other peoples perceptions of me. What's the old saying? "You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think of you if realized they don't". How many times have you altered your behavior because you were worried about what others would think of you? How many times have you altered the path of your life to please other people? I think the answer to this question is more relevant, and more scary than you may think.
     99% of the population works in fields in which they are not gifted. God made them heart cells but they choose to act as brain cells because brain cells make more money, have more security, live better lives, or so they think. If the ancient concept of Oneness is correct, which the conclusion science seems to be coming to, what will happen to the body of the One when liver cells are afraid to be their True Selves because they feel that they're not good enough?
     Here's the funny, little key to this whole concept. No one is as hard on you as you! No one judges you so harshly, speaks with such cruelty or holds such unrealistic expectation of you than YOU. If you're worried about what other people will think of you, DON'T. Whatever they may be thinking of you, its not as bad as what you are thinking about yourself! Now, there's a thought worthy of some thinking!
