Getting Past Conformity

Posted - Aug• 29•16

Life is exciting.  It’s just that the timing isn’t always the way we would like it.

When we look inside for our beliefs and our values, we realize that we need to define these for ourselves.  We cannot continue to use the beliefs that were handing down to us.  Yes, it is good to have the support of our ancestors, but at some point we need to begin to think for ourselves.

Every person is a complete person.  A young child needs the guidance of others to keep them safe.  However, that child is a complete person.  As the child grows, the parents must begin to let go of the “protection mode” and let the child develop their own self.  When we develop our “self” we are honoring ourselves.  We are telling ourselves that “I matter.”

At some point in our lives, we need to be okay with being by ourselves.  We need to understand that we have all of the tools necessary to think and act for ourselves.  Yes, we may have some dependencies on others, but we must know that we can ultimately walk this life’s journey alone.  Everyone has the capacity to “go it alone,” even though we all may prefer a friend or partner.

Look at this day and begin to see yourself inside of you. What  beliefs are you carrying forward that were handed “down” to you?  Maybe it’s time to reevaluate those beliefs and start to build them back up – for yourself.  Look around to others to open your mind and your heart to something else.  It’s time to take back your essence.

Let go of the notion of conformity.  Find yourself and the beliefs that go with you.  Pull yourself out of the bucket of beliefs that were passed to you, and find out for yourself who you really are!
