Being yourself means the same thing as being in harmony, living in harmony with who you really are. This draws to you all things needful. When you allow a vision of what you desire to come from this level of inner authenticity, you automatically attract what you envision into your life. It comes in just the right time. You receive all the support from reality that you need to be who you really are.
Trying to use the power of vision to create what you think you want, what you believe you should want, or what you want to want, creates a split within you. Then, the power of vision seems weak, feeble, incapable of bringing to you what you envision. You are using the power of vision in this weak way when you feel a sense of not being true to yourself when you envision what you desire. You feel a sense of strain.
The more energy you invest into your vision, the more powerful the vision. When you envision what you want from a foundation of inauthenticity, based on the belief that you would be better off with this or that when in fact you can find all you want right here and now by simply being yourself, your vision lacks energy.
Fear empowers visions. Imagining what you do not want, worrying about the future, brings you the future you worry about. Human beings often worry about the future when they fear that being true to themselves, living an authentic life, is not enough. They have to push, struggle and strain to attain what others have. If they do not do this, they fear that reality will not support them. And yet, the opposite proves to be the case.
When you live in conflict with yourself you literally tear your body and mind into pieces. The degree to which you demand this of yourself equals the degree of self-destruction that you do. When millions of human beings live in this self-destructive mode, it manifests into a culture of mass destruction. That is why we have wars and environmental crises on our hands today. That is why we have poverty and greed and a lie-based society, a society designed to shut out the truth, as if nothing is more harmful than being authentic.
Parents impose their expectations onto children believing they know what is best for the child, when nothing is better for the child than being himself, living true to who she actually is, respecting her authentic self as sacred.
Husbands and wives impose on one another patterns of behavior t hat they demand to make them happy. But if the other person accepts these patterns, and if those patterns run counter to the authentic person within, that person becomes miserable, ill, and basically negative.
Unhappiness, anger, anxiety, all feelings of stress and overwhelm and emotional pressure signal a conflict with the self, a drifting away from the actual pattern of the self in one's mode of self-conduct and self-expression.
Trust your authentic natural to draw to you all you want. Attempting to live true to yourself while worrying that you are not doing enough or being enough undermines the authentic life, though.
You can still be professional, highly disciplined and focused on achieving external forms of success and be true to yourself. Exert your full power to fulfill your greatest potential and to achieve all the good you can in this life. But do not stray from your authentic nature in the process, in the hopes of achieving even more by losing your balance.
Whatever you lose your balance for you lose.
