Ask yourself this question... What mask do I hide behind?
Do I hide who I am because I live in fear that others do not accept me?
Do I hide who I am because I do not believe in myself?
Do I hide who I am because I do not know my power or am I afraid of my power?
Do I hide who I am because I want to avoid?
Do I hide who I am because I want to fit in?
Do I hide who I am because I am afraid of my potential?
Whatever the reason may be, it is time to put away the mask and be your authentic self. Be who you were meant to be!
It is exhausting to live a life of not being authentic. It is challenging to keep up with the lies, the fake facade... it is liberating to be YOURSELF and feel free!
Notice... are you a certain way in some circumstances and relationships and different in others? An example would be... Do you act one way at work and a different way at home?
Do you use your laughter and jokes to avoid?
Do you pretend to be someone you are not just to be liked? Or act a certain way because you think that is how this person wants you to BE so you can feel accepted.
We wear these masks to hide who we truly are. We wear these masks to pretend we are somebody else. We put on these masks to protect ourselves. Over time putting your mask on YOU will eventually lose who you TRULY are.
It is essential to notice when and why you wear YOUR mask, it is essential to put it away and be YOU! Be who you are, and do not apologize for being YOU! The best version of you is your authentic self. You have the power to change... surrender...let go of the mask and put it away for good.
