Be yourself

You begin where you are now.
You begin with yourself.
You question yourself.
You inquire,
'Who am I?'
You sit in the 'silence'.
If thoughts come you inquire,
"To whom do they come?
You become still".
You try not to get involved with people who talk too much.
You live in the moment, in the present.
You forget about yesterday, last week, last year, dead wood!
Doesn't exist.
You do not worry or think about tomorrow.
For what you are today will become your tomorrow.
You make your life simple.
By not getting involved with too many things and you watch,
you observe, you look but you do not react.
As you keep this up one day everything will just explode into light.
And you will find peace, joy, total bliss and total happiness.
 
Now let us close our eyes for a few moments.
Say to yourself,
"I am choiceless, pure awareness.
I am effortless, pure awareness.
I am choiceless, effortless, pure awareness."
And keep still and watch.
Observe.
Watch your body disappear, the mind disappear.
 Being strong doesn’t mean hiding your pain. It doesn’t mean forgoing help when you’re struggling. It doesn’t mean denying yourself things that feel good for the sake of practicing self-control. It doesn’t mean refusing to show sadness and vulnerability. And it doesn’t mean carrying the burdens of life all by yourself. Anything that prevents your healing and stifles your growth does not correspond with strength. Being strong means refusing to tolerate people and things that wound your soul. It means practicing self-care when you’re hurting. It means honoring your feelings by actually allowing yourself to feel and express them. It means treating yourself with compassion and kindness, even when you feel like you don’t deserve any. It means doing what makes you happy and being with people who make you feel good, regardless of outside judgments. It means asking for help when the weight of the world has become too much. It means giving yourself permission to get your needs met by setting boundaries and using your voice. It means forgiving yourself on the days that you’re struggling and can’t be brave. It means challenging the voice telling you that you’re inadequate and worthless and reminding yourself, repeatedly, that you are enough.
