How to Embrace Your Truth and Be Loyal to Your Authentic Inner Voice
Finally, start living in your truth. The only question is, are you really ready?
Are you fed up with pretending to be someone else? Do you want to live as you are and not hide anymore? Do you often compromise your inner self and adjust to society's whines?
We live in an unimaginable world that would have astonished us two decades back.
Yet, with these magical powers in our palms, loneliness is at its peak. Anxiety and fear run our lives. The need to be likable is more than ever.
This clearly means that information does not mean wisdom. The connection does not mean a genuine relationship.
We are losing more of ourselves and failing to create an innate connection with the self.
Living an unfulfilled life is one of the biggest human regrets.
As a spiritual coach, I've seen one common, biggest misconception that is a significant roadblock to being your pure self.
It is to — control and drive life at your own will and desires.
That means getting something at all costs. It may involve influencing your mind or others. Forcing yourself to work that you may or may not be aligned with. Building a skyscraper of expectations and trying to assemble it block by block.
But the truth is, endless desires are a major pitfall you unknowingly fall into. Often, trying to fulfill one desire leads to unlimited compromises.
"Only if I've…" creates havoc you couldn't imagine.
Once, a single mother shared, "Giving birth to a child was special, but that one desire led me into hundreds of unknown, terrible challenges. If I'd known what happened, I'd have thought it deeply."
Desires are not wrong. In fact, life shows you that even fulfilled wishes can not make you happy forever.
Yet we run amok in the sea of cravings. That is why the most common regret is living an unfulfilled life.
The mind runs after shiny objects. But deep within your heart, it knows it is not living at its highest capacity somewhere.
Life is pushing you to live at your highest possibility, yet you miss it every time.
The future looks hopeful and promising because the present situations are often not tolerable. The mind wants peace, even if it is in daydreaming or enabling to change the future.
It is great to do work and change your situations when you don't like them.
But accepting the present moment is equally important. That is why many enlightened masters focus on the present moment.
When you stay where you are, as you are, the ancient sages called the state "Tathātā." In literal terms, it means what is right now, the “suchness” of the moment.
That is why the current moment, wherever you are, is your guru.
How?
Because life in the present moment is pushing you to see through the illusions. The universe wants you to watch the play of mind and recognize that everything you think is not always true.
It may be your transient truth, but it constantly changes as you progress.
The only truth that does not change is your infinite stillness that rests in the depths of your pure heart.
But most of us are so busy chasing goals we forget our beautiful hearts. The sparkle of the outer world stuns our vision of life.
Life is never in the past or the future. The past is in selective memories that your mind chooses to remember. The future is unknown and an illusion built on expectations.
Life is constantly unfolding in these momentary ‘Nows.’ The only solution to live in your highest truth is to turn your attention inwards.
A fulfilled life is never in the future. It is never in controlling life or others. It is not molding your situation in your favor.
The truth is, your authentic life is unfolding right now, right here.
But you can only touch it when you know how to relax in your vast silence.
Connect with your authentic self that lies within the depths of your heart
This world dismisses the heart as a powerless and unwanted obstacle to success. Yet every victory is hollow without it.
Even the world's entire wealth can not fulfill you if you are not rich in heart. That does not mean that money is evil. But it means that you can still be poor regardless of money.
The heart is the center of pure life.
The heart may be vulnerable, soft, and fragile. But it is magnificent.
The power of the heart can not make you rule the world. But it is mighty enough to unite you with the pure universe and enlighten your life.
Connect with the heart's innocence, openness, and fragility. Be vulnerable, at least in front of yourself.
Accept who you are as you are.
Because as you increase your bond with innocence, the freshness of life envelops you naturally.
The heart makes you live in your best possibility.
Then you become free from the prison of the world and its blind patterns. Then you enjoy every moment in your unique madness, just like a child, in purity and innocence. Then a fulfilling life automatically happens with ease, with no effort.
The key lies in your heart. Nowhere else.
The more you connect with the divine heart, the universe gifts you its vast stillness and silence. That is where your truth lies. That is where you genuinely connect with your soul and be loyal to your highest self.
Final Thoughts
Nothing can influence or manipulate you if you are anchored within your true self. Then this sparkling world and its lustrous deceit will not dazzle your focus.
Because what you really are is beyond anything that you can ever experience. And once you experience your true nature, you become free from the fake world that tries to entangle you at every step.
You are a divine being trapped within your mind and thoughts. Only you can release your authentic self. No one else can do it for you.
The distance between you and your real being is too short to cover, yet too far to travel if you get lost again.
It all depends on your thirst to find the real you and embrace your authentic being. All you have to do is shift your attention from outside to inside. The real question is, are you ready (with dedication) to do it?
