The Universe has been talking to me all week. I have been inundated with reminders about the importance of being true to yourself, accepting who I am in this moment, and to stop trying to twist and conform myself and my opinions into something that might just please everyone. It won’t. It never does. When you try to please everyone, I believe you come off sounding just ever so slightly pathetic. And I don’t want to be pathetic to myself.
Just Be Yourself. How many times have we heard this from our friends, family and feel good movies? For some wild and wacky reason, this week it hit me, hard, just what being yourself in all situations really means. I watched a video about homeopathy this week, and in it, Dr. Gerald Cohen, stated that he believes that we come into this life, this world, with a single purpose that is ours. If you are too busy trying to fulfill or recreate someone else’s purpose, the world misses out on the special gift that is you, and that is tragic, isn’t it?
He also goes into his beliefs about how illness is the body’s way of steering you back towards your purpose, your singular reason for being here, and that you have just enough energy and time to fullfil that purpose during your lifetime.
I have heard it over and over and over again, but this week, this man’s words struck a chord with me that has sent my reeling back on my heels. I wanted to share this important video with you this week…and I hope you get out of it as much as I did…if you watch it and something profound occurs to you-please let me know.
