Recognize your true potential

Being afraid to be seen as you are doesn’t get you very far, because you are denying the opportunity for spirit and love to work through you and for you. We all carry a beacon of light within us and have all the resources we need to complete our mission in life. We can decide to overcome the fear of being seen for who we truly are at soul level. We just need to learn how to quiet the sabotaging and fearful thoughts that block us from stepping into our authentic truth. Once we recognize this we are able to fully love ourselves and can recognize our own potential and start our healing process. ❤️

While I know you are right, I don’t know how to stop being afraid of people seeing me as I am. I see myself as a failure and a coward... who wants to be seen like that? I constantly wear a “mask” when I’m around people because I don’t want them to know that I am terrified for no reason.

Apart from holding my head up and powering through, I have no idea how to overcome this.

It’s definitely not easy. I used to hide behind a mask as well, pretending everything is fine when it’s not. I just stopped doing that as it costs me too much energy. Having had several burn out and going through 3 losses within a year definitely makes you think about life in a different way.

In fact, it took me another burn out and publishing my own memoir to finally step I to my authentic self but it took years of work. So please don’t give up. It’s a work and progress. ❤️

I love reading your entries lately. They are so helpful and bright. I think I needed to hear this today because it's something that sounds so wonderful and fulfilling. It's not obvious to me to know these things. Thank you! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you. 🥰You are so welcome. I am so glad it’s resonated with you. Your soul definitely needed to hear that to remind yourself.

We all come with a great potential and are free to choose our own path. We just have a to be brave enough to use our individual potential and share it with the world. Believe in yourself. ❤️

Just be patient with yourself. Journaling definitely helped me. Finding things I live about myself and embrace them. I started with a gratitude journal and with accepting my gifts and talents. I always used to put myself down for being an empath and highly sensitive. Now I know it’s a gift and it’s awesome to be different. 🥰 But of course I still struggle with my self confidence (although I really have no reason to lol).

Oh so true ,since dealing with issues of boundaries and self care I am overwhelmed by what I am finding I am capable of, the real me is I feel being pared back layerby layer and excitement thrills me for when I reach the golden heart of me ,so much has changed in how I see the world and my place in it ,I feel grounded and centred where I was rocked by others demands pulling me here and there till I was adruft and lost ,for the first time in years I am proud to be me and let others see who I really am and I think this is because I now value myself and am not just living through my notion of how I want others to see me ,everyone on here has such a value we are all precious and we can strive to be confident in ourselves so we don't hide the wondrous gifts inside from the rest of the world, letting go of the mask is liberating ,letting go if the fear of being judged is life changing ,it has taken me 50+years to lose the facade I lived behind but im so relieved im free and happy and I hope the world will share the light I feel every minute of every day ,if I can do it anyone can please let your light shine too💓💓
