Black in classic

I am a huge advocate for people standing in their truth. Standing in your truth means to me that you are completely aware of who you are and everything that encompasses. Many people are scared, nervous or downright against standing firm in their truth. There are many daunting factors that would move someone not to acknowledge who they are. I don’t want to list those factors because they aren’t important. What’s important is realizing that the key to being healed and happy is on the other side of the lies you are telling yourself. Entrapping ourselves in dysfunction and making ourselves comfortable is so detrimental to our wellbeing. The journey to truth and being healed is a tough road to travel. It will be dark and scary, but the light at the end of the tunnel should keep you motivated. Don’t let anyone block or distract you from standing in your truth. The real beauty in being honest with yourself about who and what you are is that nothing can ever embarrass you. As I stand in my truth, nothing can be said to me that will hurt me because I have embraced all that I am and all that I am not. Stand firm in who you are. People can’t affect you when you are who you are. The things that happen in are life are meant to shape, mold, and push us into being better individuals. That should not make you feel ashamed. EVERYONE’S story is different, as it is meant to be, so there is no need to lie about things that have happened in your life.

Unpack it, accept it, speak it, and Leave it. Those are the steps to standing in your truth. Unpack your truth means you acknowledge all of the good and the bad. Accept it means that you take it for what it is. The truth is and will always be what it is. Be strong enough to accept that you cannot change it. Speaking your truth means that you speak through your pain and speak past it. Don’t dwell in your discomfort. Be able to speak about your truth in a way that is uplifting and encouraging. Make sure that you speak facts on your circumstances. Lastly, leave it where it is. Do not carry your dysfunction into your journey. Leave the truth as it is. Do not use it as a scapegoat. It is not a get out of jail free card. You cannot act irresponsibly and blame it on your circumstances. Be strong enough to leave it as it is and grow into someone better. It’s not an easy process but it is a process that will help you to be healed. To be able to live a life of internal happiness.
