Be true to who you are. Be your authentic self. Just be you.
Does that concept confuse you? Who ARE you, really? Do you know?
It seems that we are supposed to know easily just who we are. We can define the roles that we play: wife, mother, sister, grandmother, teacher, student, friend, etc. But, does that really address who we are inside? Who we were born to be in the Universe’s great scheme of things? I think not.
So how do you answer the question of ‘Who are you, really?’
Try right now, for a few minutes, to come up with a good answer for that. Don’t answer with what your roles are, or what your job is, or what your task for the day is, but really examine your inner being for some guidance here. You are, of course, all of those roles, and all of the jobs and tasks, but there is something behind all of that that is very important for you to discover.
Who are you, really?
If you play with that idea, and catch yourself defining yourself by external measurements, then you will, at some point, start to get deeper answers that become more meaningful to you. Are you hearing something about being a Being of Light? Are you a Beacon? Are you a Touchstone for others? Are you a Giver? A Listener? A Timeless Spirit with a Gift to Share? Who are you, really?
The possibilities are endless but they are not the same as ‘wife, mother, teacher, sister, etc.’ are they?
Bring your attention to how it feels as you explore who you really are. Are you feeling confused? Frustrated? Angry? Elated? What are you feeling? This will give you a clue about how close you are coming to the true answer to the question.
For many people, the answer to ‘Who am I?’ brings with it a feeling of the immense size of that answer. And with that feeling of immensity comes the doubting energy that says, ‘Who do you think you are to be something that big?’ Am I right? Did you hear that voice or something like it? Well, let me tell you that that is not the voice of your inner self assisting you in accessing your authenticity, for who are you NOT to be that big?
The Universe and Mother Earth conspired to have you exist on this Planet at this time for the purpose of assisting the unfolding of the Universe’s Grand Plan. You must step into your power, be the ‘who’ that you were born to be, so that you can fulfill your part in this Plan. Who do you think you are to deny the Universe and Mother Earth your participation in this unfolding Grand Plan? Aha, we have you there, right?
Thinking small and playing small do not serve you or anyone else. Be the person you were born to be. And do not worry about what you are to do. ‘Being’ is more important than ‘doing.’ The ‘doing’ must follow from the ‘being’ who you are.
And Joy, a deep, abiding, inner sense of Joy, is the promised reward.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: The Success of Your Authentic Self
December 18, 2013 — RosemaryWe forget, sometimes. We get caught up in images and activities and, horror of horrors, what other people think. We look in the mirror and see all the things that don’t match what we think we are supposed to look like. We envy the person who has the better partner, car, job, bank account.
And so we try. We follow a leader who says, ‘Just do what I do and you will have great success.’ We buy the clothes we think we should wear. We only date the folks we think our friends, parents, children will approve. We take a job that pays what someone says we should make, even if the job makes us feel miserable.
We forget.
We forget to reach inside ourselves for answers. We forget that we are ‘enough’ just as we are. We forget that no one else knows exactly what our Soul Contract with the Universe is and that we agreed to come into this world at this time.
We forget that we are a Child of the Universe with a unique reason for being on Planet Earth in the 21st Century. We forget that Mother Earth asked for us to come to her at this very moment in her history. We forget that we have a Purpose and that there is a reason we were born.
Our only work is to remember.
Remember that you are the only YOU the Universe will ever need. Remember that you are the Light of the World that only you can shine. Remember that your Purpose cannot be accomplished by any other Soul.
Remember that the Universe and Mother Earth conspired to bring you into human form to accomplish that Purpose and that they pledged to support you, with all the resources that you need to do that.
And all that you need to do is to Remember Who You Are.
Remember that all the circumstances around you have been brought to you by your ego/personality so that your Soul can learn the lessons it needs to learn. Remember that you are NOT your circumstances.
Remember that all the people around you are present to assist you in learning your lessons. Some of them drew the short straw and agreed to come into being so that they could represent the ‘jerk’ energy that you need to encounter to help you learn your lessons. Some people are here to help you remember that, while they may act as if they have something to say about you, you are not defined or confined or identified by anything that they say or think.
Your Authentic Self is the You who is the Light in the World that vibrates to your own unique frequency. Your success depends only on the extent to which you express your unique self in the world.
Be authentic. Be the real you. There is no one and nothing to hide behind. No one can judge you. No one can hold you back. Who can fight against the Universe and Mother Earth who are united to support you?
Get to know your Authentic Self. Get help to recognize yourself if you forget who you are. Present ONLY your Authentic Self to the world and allow others to learn their own lessons while you focus on yours.
And all you have to do is Remember.
