Have you ever noticed that life is like a movie on fast forward and by the time you get to your favorite part you missed it... and no matter how hard you try to rewind, it just doesn't rewind?
Stillness creates exactness, focus, and precise decision making. It is the ability to slow down life before we miss our favorite part.
The ability to create exactness comes from abolishing fear. I received a messages from my friend Sheena Patterson today that read; On Atonement: Miracles represent freedom from fear, "Atoning" means "undoing". The undoing of fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles.
As we undo fear we replace it with faith. Faith consists of thought, desire, action, and result. The ability to communicate with ourselves through stillness eliminates fear and leads us to inner peace and purpose.
Human beings have 2% conscious mind and 98% subconscious mind. A small protection separates the two states. It is called the gate keeper. We are only able to truly communicate with ourselves and others on a subconscious level. Yet we can enter consciously or subconsciously through the gate keeper. The gate keeper is a pattern created protection that does not all things into our subconscious mind in fear of it reprogramming it and hurting the individual. Even though most times it is necessary that a new pattern is created and new subconscious is developed.
How to enter the subconscious mind and by pass the the gate keeper means we must pattern interrupt. We must "Atone" and "undo" our patterns of fear protection. To be able to do that we must do things completely differently than ever before. We must become the b side to the truth. When we do things completely differently the gate keeper will not have a pattern to react to it and it will lower its gate and allow us to enter the the subconscious mind of ourselves or of another individual.
The b side to the truth is go forward by going backwards. Do things completely differently than all other people. There are two ways to accomplish this. One is find a proven model and duplicate it. The other is trial and error while being detached by the outcome, and only concerned on the findings as something that worked or not. Even through picking a model to follow, there will be trial and error.

Lifeless Patterns
We wake up, we do our routine, we got to work, we receive formal education, we follow lifeless patterns. I speak we as a generality. There is a small percentage of b siders out there. Those that control their constants. Those that move towards instead of away because of the subconsious fear that has been pattern developed.
Many of us stroll through life aimlessley with the doubt of being meant for more. I have been defined as arrogant and could careless what others think of me. The reality is emotionally I survive and succeed directly because of acceptance. As each individual that breathes oxygen emotionally desires.
Yet why do some seem to have it and others wander cluessly? Why do some guys get any girl they want? Why do some people make more money than others? Why do some women appear more beautiful than others? It is no secret that each one of us is born with a natural true'ness'. An I am that proclaims our God-given talents that define who we are. Yet what is the secret is that we must nuture this being inside of us. When we neglect to nurture our God-Self, we neglect happiness.
The b side to the truth today may seem curious... yet social acceptance does matter. Not for your social status, yet for your emotional health and sanity. You cannot have a life worth living by yourself. Great gurus in their respective fields like Joel Olsteen, Anthony Robbins, or even talented musicians a like have zero power without you and I. If power were a correct term to use, then power only comes from those that accept. If X number of people did not accept these principles taught by the earlier mentioned gurus or the music was never listened too, then their power is taken away. The b side to the truth is to become who you were born to be, you must be accepted. You however do not seek acceptance to gain power or feel like a social icon or to be a God. Yet to influence others. To give what you have gained. A sense of emotional bliss that may never be described as words.
The moment you feel comfortable with who you are because of the fear of the outcome you have let your weeds of fear, doubt, and worry take control over you. The moment you feel comfortable because to your core you recognize your greatness and that you are the creator of your own World, you have commenced the journey. There is no end, and there is no begining friends. There is only knowledge and application mixed with internal emotion.
The funny things is social acceptance is not being yourself. It is NOT being what you have been patterned to be. It is changing what you have been developed into what you were destined to be... A God sort of speak... not to control masses, yet to simply to control yourself. In doing so power is given unto you, again not to control others, yet to unlock power for others... to unlock emotional health for others... to unlock life for others and yourself.
In order to increase your acceptance, you must increase your skills. Yet in such a way that you completely withdraw emotion to the equation. Acceptance is not complex logrithm, yet a simple linear equation. Simple as Open, Deflect, Enter, and Invite. Open the gateway of energy, deflect the patterns of protection (in which people will subconsiously use to protect them of rejection from you), enter their World, and invite them into yours.

Limited Edition
Life is a limited addition. Often times we walk through this experience of mortal exisitence through constant change. The one thing in life is that there is continual change in our life.
As life continually passes us by, history seems to repeat itself. Although the experiences are new and different and absorbent of our energy, the principles are consistent. The errors are typically the same and success still derives from the same source.
I realize there are days in which my content is better than others. As if a flowing source of energy that is abundant sometimes turns shallow. It is through my life experiences and my personal quest for knowledge and understanding that my content is born. As I continue over the years from when my content began in just a persoanl journal, to text messages, and now to public blogs... the same concepts and principles continue to flow from my fingers on to the screen. There are only so many principles and concepts to talk about, yet a different perception coming from my mind to the print that others may read from. It is those percepetions that help us identify the principle in our life. With out perception, we would miss this limited edition of life. We are so greately clouded over with work, family, and the social view of life... We often forget to live life.
I have not developed new concepts or principles, nor will anyone ever develop them. They are all the same that tie in to our human life value in our realms spiritually, mentally, physically, socially, and financially. They have always existed. Yet they are not always consciously perceived.
Perhaps Freud, Darwin, and all the theorist a like were all right. Perhaps we have developed who we are through our social views and enviornment. Perhaps we have become who we swore we never would be from the follies of our parents and family. Perhaps we continually must evolve to survive. Perhaps this now is limited in this moment, yet the principle will be contiually taught upon us til one day we recognize the truth.
The b side to truth is simple. Life is simple. We are simple. We live, we die, and what happens in bewteen is up to us. We have been taught to go to school to get good grades and the power of learning has exited our schools. This life is a giant college. Yet there is no report card in the end. There are only experiences that help you the next chapter of life. And the same concept will return over and over again. Love and happiness can only be defined in one way. So remember where you are from and what you have become is only temporary, but who you are is eternal.

Inner Game and Self Confidence
Inner game is a constant battle. Our inner self confidence reflects an energy that others feel. Change your habits and increase your inner game.
There is absolutely no better way then action to increase confidence. In Marci Shimhoff's book "Happy for no Reason", she states a statistic that 95% of all human beings have the same fear or limiting belief. That they are not enough or not important, and sadly enough that they are not qualified in God's eyes. Whether people admit it or not it is easily observed.
60% of communication is body language, 33% is tone of voice, and a measly 7% is the actual words used in talking or communicating. Well with those numbers how is then that we mainly communicate to those around us? Through our body language. How though do we have great body language. Is is as simple as your inner game. The more you increase your mindset, self worth, and confidence... the more people will feel your energy.
One of the easiest ways for one to relate is through sales and dating. When a salesman approaches a prospect, it is hardly the words that will make the difference. Yes tweaking them will increase your sales, yet the ability to have a set of words with out hesitation gleams an energy of confidence. With dating, when a man approaches a woman, she will know instantly his motive for the most part, or if he has developed an inner game of self worth and confidence.
In a previous post it has been noted that Napoleon Hill's book, "Think and Grow Rich", he tells us that we should spend no less then 10 minutes at the minimum a day working on mindset.
The b side to the truth is this, most people do not care if you look like a fool and if they do it will last for only seconds; because they are too worried about themselves and about how they are perceived. They are actually seeking your approval. The more approval you give the more people will see your self worth. The more success you have the stronger your confidence is boosted.
In sales, consultants are taught to role play, role play, and role play. The moral of the story is they are taught to increase their skills. Rarely are people taught to increase their socializing skills and their self worth through practice and role play. As the sales consultant increases his skills, in turn his confidence rises. As his confidence rises, so does his bank account.
Now some people will say, that is not me, I want people to like me for who I am. This is a self-told lie that we as human beings use as an excuse. Typically an excuse of unwillingness to improve one self and skills. These people should be more worried than the person willing to improve them self.
The more time we spend focusing on our inner game and self worth, the more energy inside of us rises. As our energy rises, it gleams through your eyes, your body language, your tone of voice, and makes your words seem genuine, because they are genuine. It will attract people in to your life. The more positive energy you attract the more fulfilled you become and an increased desire to create value in the lives of others. You then become living the b side of reality, and you truly start to care more about the increase and the well-being of others then your self. The more you increase this, the more your inner game develops. The only way that is obtained is through first increasing your self worth in your own eyes. The treasure and tools are already there, they are just masked over with fallacies, false limiting beliefs, and insecurities developed from miss-perception.

Tools of Great and Terrible
As we move through out this life... we have things and tools... they are either great tools of production or terrible tools of destruction. Each thing is one with two ends of the spectrum...
GREAT <--------------------+--------------------> TERRIBLE
What ever the spectrum is as you see it above, it is either working TOWARDS the great or AWAY. If it is working away then it is working towards terrible. Often times we see it as two sides. The good side and the bad side.
Good / Bad
We have been trained through the A side to perceive it as good vs. bad. It's either good or it's bad. The b side to the truth is it is a spectrum... and it will not set idle. The things on how we use our tools will either be productive or they will be destructive.
As I drove to the office listening to the song "Fireflies" by Owl City, I was hit with an epiphany with our up and growing tool of production known as social media. One of the absolute best resources out there to increase brand name awareness and in turn increase revenue. (In Gary Vay-Ner-Chuck's book "Crush it" he explains the necessity of passion in your social media and I highly recommend reading the book and studying the need of passion. Passion is what makes your true'ness' click and come together.) Here is the warning with social media. I 100% support and I widely use it. As I listened to the song "Fireflies" the line "I like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems." This social media is not always as it seems. The social media must be regulated with the dictates of our own conscience. Here is what I mean by that... ever more are you seeing in restaurants, at the mall, in the theaters, in the business offices, and other places; people with their mobile devices stuck to their hand or their ears. They cannot control their built in mind controlled urge to text, check their blog, tweet their twitter, and post their Facebook.
How do I know this? I have experienced in my own life and I observe it daily in my profession as a Realtor. I see it with our young teens. I watch it take a dad's attention away from a four year old child. I watch as a girlfriend streams tears down her face as her boyfriend spends more time messaging a person in a foreign country. It will destroy lives, it will destroy relationships, but more than that it will destroy our b side, our connection with our self and our God. It will walk one into a mind controlled brain wash and the people will literally FOLLOW their social media leaders to their destruction.
I bring this up so that we may be aware of this great transformation in media and communication that has already begun and will only increase. USE THE TOOL, JUST USE IT WISELY! I recommend creating and having set of standards in which you as an individual will abide by with your social media. It can make you millions, but it can also take away the meaning of life. A life worth living. One can never have a life worth living when they have surrendered their control.

The B Side To The Truth Definition
As some of you may be wondering what is this B side to the Truth. Many people that know me or Chad have asked us around our office, called us, or even got more curious and have been asking for my text messages.
The B side to the Truth is now a definition. It is taking life to the higher brain and that which allows the highest amount of communication with your self.
The best way for me to understand it and possibly describe it is this: I grew up out west where there were many hay fields. I was famous for being the neighbor hood kid with terrible hay fever. For any of you that have experienced hay fever before there is sneezing and itchy itchy eyes. I would often wake up with gooped eye boogers and my eyes glued shut. My mom would always say "Colton! Stop touching your eyes!!" My lower braing thinking (A side) would be to continue to itch my eyes and rub them. Oh it felt so good to rub them. Yet the more I rubbed my eyes the worse it got. As I aged and matured over time I have learned... if I let my eyes alone... the itching decreases and my eyes start to fill better. My eye boogers are reduced and the natural defense of my body would eliminate the itch.
It is the same concept with everything in our life. Doing the thing that allows us the utmost highest level of communication with our own self. What I call the true'ness' inside of each one of us. It is through that self-communication that you live your life to fullest and the basic need for everyone... that's a happy life with the least amount of stressed.
The point of the b side to the truth is not to say that life won't get tough and stress won't rise... yet how to reduce the misery and raise the joy. How to help prevent in the future how you react to things. Really you can control a couple of things in this life is all. What happens to you is not one of them. You control your not even your thoughts, yet the thoughts that stay in your mind and what you focus on. If you do not take control, then what you focus on is set to default. And the outcome typically means more negativity and misery.
The A Side is typically the amygdala of the brain. Yet it is the false ways in which we have been programed in our subconscious mind that allow us to fail. It's doing things the way we perceived them to be and not the way our true'ness' knows them to be.
Any questions feel free to email Chad or I (Colton) at thebsidetothetruth@gmail.com

Intuition
Follow the dictates of your own conscience. We have receive the gift of intuition... are you using it?
The ability to follow the dictates of your own conscience can increase or decrease. Just as you mind must be worked as a muscle in a work out, your abilities too must be exercised. As you exercise your mind to gain clarity this will activate as Napoleon Hill calls it your sixth sense. It is your ability to think on a higher level and get answers from what seem sometimes to come from thin air.
It is the dictates of your own conscience that remind you if you are congruent with you core values and your true'ness' The problem is when we have to much A side in our life in becomes impossible to heed the counsel of your true'ness' through the dictates of your own conscience. It is this ability, your intuition, that helps you make those decisions that you know are right, yet your fabricated self from the A side clouds your mind.
So what are you doing to exercise the dictates of your own conscience?

Anchoring Another's Ship
Sometimes we are the anchor of another person's ship holding them back. It is painful to let that person set sail and be free, yet it is necessary for their freedom and discovery.
Yesterday I posted about our core values and the importance of discovering them. As I contemplated the subject further I realized why it is important to truly discover them. There are two sets of core values inside of us. One is a true'ness' set of core values and one is a fabricated set of core values. The fabricated set is the one that causes us to live a a self-told lie. It causes us to anchor another persons ship from sailing free.
An anchor is a either a powerful tool or a great hinder to our freedom or to the freedom of another spiritual being. The anchor must be self-lowered and for a reason of proper advancement and freedom.
If you are the great hinder, it is taking the higher road to cut yourself off and allow their ship to sail. There will be pain involved in your heart and probably in the heart of the one you set free. There will be a day you will look back upon this day and it will make sense.
The b side to the truth today is sometimes we hold people back because we are holding our self back. It boils down to true'ness' and authenticity with your self and your core values that I will call true'ness' values. The values that as your "I AM" inside of you; your true'ness'; your communication with God, will dictate them to you. They come from with in and not from someone else's list of values, or from a book, or from anything else than your self and God.
And not living true to those core values will cause you to be out of balance and become an anchor in the life of those you most care about. So here's the question you have to ask yourself... who am I anchoring from from freedom? And why am I anchoring them from freedom? Is it holding my ship back from setting sail? Is it holding me back because I am not being authentic?
Without pain... we would never be able to experience true bliss and joy.

Yesterday I posted about our core values and the importance of discovering them. As I contemplated the subject further I realized why it is important to truly discover them. There are two sets of core values inside of us. One is a true'ness' set of core values and one is a fabricated set of core values. The fabricated set is the one that causes us to live a a self-told lie. It causes us to anchor another persons ship from sailing free.
An anchor is a either a powerful tool or a great hinder to our freedom or to the freedom of another spiritual being. The anchor must be self-lowered and for a reason of proper advancement and freedom.
If you are the great hinder, it is taking the higher road to cut yourself off and allow their ship to sail. There will be pain involved in your heart and probably in the heart of the one you set free. There will be a day you will look back upon this day and it will make sense.
The b side to the truth today is sometimes we hold people back because we are holding our self back. It boils down to true'ness' and authenticity with your self and your core values that I will call true'ness' values. The values that as your "I AM" inside of you; your true'ness'; your communication with God, will dictate them to you. They come from with in and not from someone else's list of values, or from a book, or from anything else than your self and God.
And not living true to those core values will cause you to be out of balance and become an anchor in the life of those you most care about. So here's the question you have to ask yourself... who am I anchoring from from freedom? And why am I anchoring them from freedom? Is it holding my ship back from setting sail? Is it holding me back because I am not being authentic?
Without pain... we would never be able to experience true bliss and joy.

Authentic
Be authentic with yourself first and it will enable you to be authentic with others. Often times when we are not true to our core values it causes conflict with in and it causes us to cheat others because we cheat ourselves.
In the book of John it continually rings in my mind... "You shall know of the truth, and the truth shall set you free." How free are we as we forget to be authentic and honest with ourselves and with people around us?
When we listen to our hearts we hear the words of God... and the words of God teach us how to be authentic.
The b side to the truth is that usually we are not authentic with our core values, mostly because we only recognize them on a subconscious level and have not developed a conscious set of core values that are authentic and congruent with our true'ness'. So ask yourself this question... what are my top 10 deepest rooted core values? Make a list and place where you will always see it so that it rings consciously and subconsciously.
My core values are simple:
1. Respect - for myself and others.
2. Knowledge - to continually increase.
3. Authentic Honesty - with myself and with others.
4. Standards - to commit and always live my mine.
5. Purity - to protect my virtue and that of others... it is power
6. Faith - to always believe and create.
7. Family - to give to those that give me so much.
8. Passion - to live the gift that God has given me.
9. Integrity - to continually counterbalance my life.
10. Gratitude - to recognize that all prosperity is connected directly to God.

The Consistent Thing About Life
As I sit and look back at the World that has been created for us one thing that is consitent illuminates in my mind. The only thing that will be the same tomorrow as today is simple... Is that tomorrow will have changes... Tomorrow is different.
So many of us spiritual beings in this human experience forget we are our own self made person. We are so unique that there is no one else outthere like us. And as the World and society changes... We to must embrace change. This is part of our creation. Please do not just accept change... Embrace it! The more you embrace and live in a World of what you are passionate about... The easier tomorrow is for you!
So many of us as individuals get stuck in living the life that others belive we should live... Or with doubt that we can be happy and make money while doing what we love.
When you were a little kid you could do anything you wanted. You were a wizard in the morning, broke your arm being a firefighter by noon... And winning the World Series by 5 in the afternoon. What happened to those dreams? They were crushed by a social opinion and a desire to be accepted.
The b side to the truth is if you want to be accepted and important then be who you are meant to be. Find inside of you your true'ness. Where you lose accepance is through lieing. Most people create someone that isn't in line with their passion... That is where the root of unhappiness is. Be authentic... People can sense when you are not.
The only way to become authentic is to recognize your passion and true'ness. Then aquire skills and education in line with your natural self.

The Little Extra
In the book OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell, the difference over a 10 year period of becoming a professional pianist and just being a amateur pianist and a music teacher was an extra 2000 hours. Broken down that is only 30 minutes a day. are you spending an extra 30 minutes a day on your talent??
The principle of the small and simple things is what makes the difference in ones lives. Notice I said an extra 30 minutes a day. How many of us are spending any time a day on our natural talent or ability? Odds are most of us are not spending any time or do not even yet recognize our uniqueness.
I believe there are 2 things that we should become experts in about our self. Number one is our self as a whole in our true'ness' and the five realms which is spiritual, mental, physical, social, and financial. There are literally hundreds of thousands of little extra things we can do to become our best self. The second is becoming an expert in what we are passionate about and naturally skilled in. Becoming specialized is the key.
The b side to the truth today is simple... do the little extra things and the gate will swing open wider in abundance. Get up an extra 15 minutes, arrive 15 minutes early, read for 5 minutes instead of not reading at all, make a couple extra prospecting call, ask a couple extra people for business, spend an extra 10 minutes on cardio, do the extra 2 reps in your work out set, and hundreds of thousands of little extra things that apply to you. This will create a better and easier tomorrow for you.

Disappointment of The Destination
We live life in such a way we set our self up for failure in hopes of a change once we reach a certain point in life. Such things as graduation, marriage, turning 21, kids, a good job, a vacation, retirement. It seems to me that the anticipation is the best part. Remember it is the journey that teaches us our lesson. It is today that counts.
We are stuck in a have-do-be mindset. We have tricked our self through a society perception that we must have something to become something. We think once I have money I will be able to be free. It is the discipline though that makes you free. Sure financial freedom is a huge asset, yet it is only reached when we have transformation today, not transformation after we arrive.
The b side to the truth is in order to use the power of thought and positive emotion we must take control of our life today! We must live and enjoy right now! We must become in order to have. The secret is a be-do-have mindset. We must believe it first. As we believe it with strong thought pattern and slowly include powerful positive emotion our desire grows to such a greatness that this thought begins to create again and manifest itself in a tangible form.
Ask yourself this question... are you intentionally becoming... or are you waiting to become?? Either way you are what you have chosen to be.

Confidence
How do I increase my confidence? 1. Start with gratitude for what positive energy, people, and tools you have in your life. 2. Increase your daily knowledge. 3. Increase the amount in which you serve others. 4. Train yourself to have empowering thoughts. 5. Study what you feel you lack and get specific. When you get specific in your studies it creates a specialized knowledge and creates an energetic conversation.
The biggest fear, doubt, and worry we have as spiritual beings in this human experience is that we are not enough or we do not measure up. So taking 10 minutes a day to purposely increase our confidence will empower your life to a next level and increase your productivity along with yourself worth. When your confidence increases you win more people over to create better business relationships, friendships, and family bond.

Worth!
The worth of a person is so great! No matter the person... they have something to offer you. So ask yourself... who have you been taking for granted?
Last night I attended the Chevelle concert. (My good friend Sam Whittier's band, I AM THE, opended for them.) As I am not much of a rock style of music guy I went to support my friend. As Chevelle came on the stage they played a great show... as I sat and watched from the balcony above at the crowd below... I noticed how much energy Chevelle had created amongst this crowd. Everyone was focused and the stage and lost in a trans. I realized how much influence Chevelle had on this crowd. And it dawned on me... they had been given a talent, they maximize their skill, and they shared it... not worrying about an outcome, yet playing because they were passionate about their music. And because they detached their self from the outcome, they influence many around the nation.
I realized those people in the crowd were after the same thing I am after, and it's happiness. I learned that happiness starts with our own self worth, and that through our talents we help others discover their own self worth. Just as others inspire us with their skills and talents... we too have skills and talents that will change others lives.
Each one of us as spiritual being are in a human experience with mortal limitations. Limitations that can and should be removed. The limitations of not being enough, of fear, of being right or wrong. Their is not two sides of a fence, yet only two directions of a continuum.
So the b side to the truth today is stop searching for right or wrong... and start searching for the better more efficient way. And remember those that have given you their love and have given you the opportunity to love. Be grateful what you have and stop wasting time on what you don't have or what you have lost out on.

Increased Happiness
Raising your happiness through physical exertion and meditation. It raises your endorphins and creates clarity and focus. Feeling bogged down?? Then take action and see your physiology change!
Everyone is so caught up in I need more sleep, I need more sleep. In some cases that may be true. In reality though our physical bodies only need 4 to 5 hours of consistent sleep. The reason why we feel we need more sleep is cause we are active in the wrong ways. We have cluttered minds and stress of life that comes from school, work, family, finances, and bad choices. We can choose how we react to the outcomes of our life and it will change our stress level. We can do many exercises that lower our stress because of the outcomes that have occurred whether as consequences or conditions that we have no control over.
Getting up even a half hour early will actually give you more energy than sleeping that extra half hour. Yet it depends on the activity that you do... take the extra time to be ready for the day and not rushing out the door. Take the time to meditate and pray. Take the time to read a book. Take the time to write in your journal.
Why in the morning?? It is when our vibrations in our mind are alpha brain waves are strongest. As the day goes by our brain waves shift to beta waves and are stronger by night time. It is a great idea to meditate for 15 to 20 minutes in the afternoon also because it will help strengthen your alpha waves and give your increased energy. Alpha waves give you a sense of relaxation and energy.
So exercise and meditation are great ways to increase your endorphins and shift your brain waves.
The b side to the truth is more action means more energy! More energy means more happiness!

Law of Specific Focus
We are trained to diversify ourselves. Think b side of that... think get specific and put all your eggs into one basket. the more you focus on something with energy and positive emotion the more skill and confidence you gain. Laser focus!
We are trained in school when we excel in math, to put more focus on reading because our math is up to par or above average. Yet if we would let ourselves excel in what we are naturally talented in; our life will be easier, happier, and more service oriented. We will do it because we love to do it. We will make a difference in the lives of others.
The b side to the truth today is impossible for a person in any industry to be great at a profession if he or she does not continually counterbalance his human life value and does not get specific and skilled in a certain realm of his business. We must become specialists! The key is become a rock star at what you do and what you are passionate about!
Here is the question you have to ask yourself... what drives me and frees me? What skill, characteristic, and/or ability do I have that comes natural to me? Don't know what it is... ask 5 people today what skills or talents you have that they wish they had... and listen... and write it down. People will tell you, they wish they had your skills.
The problem is because our true'ness' talent comes so easy and natural to us, we think that it is common and that everyone has that same talent... the b side is... you are one of few my friend!

The Hold Back
Feelings of frustration and confusion about our life or situation come from with in. it is an indicator that we are creating self-told stories and self-told lies. The difficulty sometimes in acting is finding the true benefit. Truly ask yourself what is holding you back inside.
A great way to do this is to break it down to each realm: spiritual, mental, physical, social, and financial. Usually it is a self-told lie in one realm holding you back in another realm and holding you back from personal progress.
This must be done in a certain way, without competition. 95% of us have the common fear and limiting belief. It is the fear of not being enough for someone else. It is the fear of not measuring up in the eyes of another individual or a group of individuals. It creates a a check list of having to be someone your are not deep inside. Not do not mistake this for abandoning the responsibility that must be taken on your own to have personal growth.. i.e. increasing your skills and talents. And the one we fear we do not measure up the most for is our fake ego self. The imaginary person in ourselves that we have created due to our perception of having to measure up for those around us.
Gain clarity through the small and simple principles and actions. Develop habits to just release frustrations. When you release your frustrations and detach yourself from the outcome; you become clear, focused, and purpose driven.
The b side to the truth today is simple. You are enough. You just have to listen to your God-Self, true'ness'. You must throw away the checklist of measuring up and start the checklist of what you already are. You are beautiful, skillful, intellectual, giving, child of God. You are you. You have a unique set of skills and abilities that no one else has. You have a specific reason for your existence and everything else is a cloud that blur's your vision on your true'ness'.
Friends become what you already are inside.
