Be There Honestly

Published: Oct. 8, 2020, noon

Morning Mantra: "Wherever you go, there you are."  

You can try to hide when you are facing an ugly truth about yourself, your past, or your relationship.
You can try to avoid facing your truth with booze, drugs, shopping, exercise, work, or eating.

You will feel better for awhile, but it's still there.
Nothing goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.  You can't run from yourself.

You can spend a lifetime and a tremendous amount of energy running to avoid it, but there is another way.  
Admit, face it, conquer it.  Use the same energy you used to avoid your truth to deal with it.  Replace the shame, guilt and emptiness with forgiveness and selflove.   

Accept that you are a human and thus imperfect.  Accept that no one needs to approve of you, only you do.  
Accept that life is hard for everyone.
Accept the help of others, because that is how God works on this side of Heaven.

And when you have figured this all out, how to be well in a unwell world, share your story.  Use it to lift others out of their darkness.
