LABEL

What have you believed about yourself all your life?  Is it true?

It’s inevitable that growing up we received messages about who we were, whether directly or indirectly, from our parents, our teachers our friends.  Maybe you were told you were stubborn, maybe that you were brilliant, or perhaps you were the creative one, or the diva, or the fat one, the lazy one, the stupid one, and on and on.

Whatever the message was, and it was probably not a positive message, chances are you’re still carrying it around with you.  Chances are you’ve never questioned whether the message matches with who you actually are.   

How tragic to walk around, as adults, with labels and names of who we are without our approval, without question, we’ve simply inculcated it assuming the people who gave us those labels must be right. 

Think about one or two things that you have always believed about yourself, especially a thing that you’re not sure how you came to believe it.  Then ask yourself, truly touch base with your intuition and ask yourself whether it’s true.

I bet you it won’t be.
