“The things that make me different are the things that make me” – Winnie the Pooh
Think about your life for a minute or two. Are you running away from it? Because you most certainly can. You can pretend everything is fine while being stuck in a harmful, bad relationship. You can be with this particular person and pretend that everything is okay on the outside. That you have a great functioning relationship and have it all figured out. But deep inside you know, that this relationship leads nowhere but to more misery. You suffer but play a game to keep your face. You can go to work every single day and pretend everything is fine. But on the inside, you hate your job or you think you have to do it until you retire because there is nothing else out there for you. You are stuck in a routine and are comfortably numb at this point and just complain every single day. You know that you could not care less about this ridiculous job but it pays your bills.
Many people just hide behind a façade and pretend they are someone they are not. They hide also behind huge cars, expensive jewelry, huge houses or other paraphernalia. (Cool word right? Means: stuff, things, equipment but sounds so much nicer). Yeah, keep talking about this expensive vacation you will plan, and right after this one you go right back to the Bahamas because you own the island. These are the things that make you happy? Theses are the things that make you who you are? And at night you are at home watching your soap operas on your big fancy TV. But guess what, one thing you will never get away with – being fake, false and a fraud. And people will see it. They will find out eventually.
There will be a time in your life when you will see your true self. Some huge mirror that will be placed in front of you and reveals all your flaws. Guess what? At this point you will wake up. Everybody has flaws – nobody is perfect. Always keep this in mind. And if you think that this person in this huge house, with this huge car and these millions of dollars are happy – think again. They have problems too. No money-problems maybe, but others. Nothing is perfect. Ever!
You have been faking it all your life but now you are awake. Something bad happened. Maybe your marriage is over, or you don’t look the same anymore due to an accident, because you gained weight after childbirth. Or you lost your job. Anything that was so valuable to you. Or you are finally able to leave a partner who is harmful to you. What do you do now? You wake up and see how life changed. Maybe you lost all your money. Can you be true to yourself now? Who you really are? And how can you find out? I believe the key in life is to be trustworthy and real. Live your life the way that it feels real to your. If you are not true to yourself you are faking it. Simple as that. You live your life like someone you are not. What is your mission on this planet? I think my mission is to take a journey and to discover my true self and to simply do something out of the ordinary. Which I am doing every single day. Don’t dream about so many thing – instead figure out a way to do them. Life is too short for games and unhappiness.
I want to share a trailer of one of my favorite movies “Into the Wild” if you would like to see. “The important thing in life is not to be strong, but to feel strong.”
Thank you for reading my blog.
