The True You

Each personality you inhabit within one lifetime or many is but an offshoot of the whole that you are. Like trying on different outfits or shoes, each feels a bit different — one may become your favorite role to inhabit, another something you change out frequently. Yet the role, the personality, like the shoe, is not you. It is not your foot or any part of you.

It is simply what forms to or fits you, where you feel comfortable in presenting and traveling through this life experience. The true you is light itself — the very essence of you is the shine of the star that you are.

The roles, personalities, and clothes that you wear are there for your support, comfort, and ease. It is only when a personality or outfit is used to cover the true you — to hide your light — that it becomes uncomfortable.

Let your true light shine as though the personality is an extension and expression of you, without worry about how it is received by others. Donning an ill-fitting shoe, role, or costume for too long begins to erode or mask your light, until you may not even recognize yourself.

Allowing the true you to burn brightly, to feel comfortable in presenting, will naturally burn through and identify the coverings that aren’t yours. You will shed them like a warm jacket on a sunny day — thanking the covering for the protection or comfort it once provided along the way.

Then you’ll walk freely in your true form, with the light burning so brightly that what you may be wearing becomes of no consequence. Burn bright. Find warmth from within. Be free of encumbrances — all by finding your joy, your truth, your own internal light, fueled by the source of who you are and will always remain.

Enjoy the true you.
