Shedding the Mask - Breaking Through To Your True Self

Hands up those of you that are spending the majority of your time during each and every day wearing a mask to cover up who you truly are? I know I have in the past and even now there are certain times when conventional 'wisdom' tells me to do so and it's damn hard not to.

Do you realise that we've all been conditioned from a young age to do this? To conform? To become average?

No wonder there's so many movies making so much money that showcase the hero's that we all know are just below the surface, just underneath our very own masks.

What would life actually be like if you could shed the Clark Kent mask and just live as Superman? Remove Bruce Wayne and just be Batman?

Simple! Life would be SIMPLE!

I imagine that my life and the choices I make would be completely simplified just by knowing who I truly am. Too good to be true? Bah Humbug I hear you say?

What if it's not? Imagine it, if you really can.

When faced with any decision in your daily life the answers would be obvious and it would be far simpler to say NO. I'm not actually going to do that. You know that doing that simple task will actually detract from the things that you want to be doing with your life.

Learning to live life fully as yourself is absolutely totally liberating! The freedom from the gray, monotonous, conformist life that you are currently living lies just over the side of one decision, the answer to one simple question.

Do you truly know who you really are?

Once you have the answer to that, the dominoes will start to tumble into place. Know thyself, plan to live as thyself, live as thyself. Wow, way too many thyself's in that sentence for my liking. Let's put it into a slightly more modern groove, don't let others tell you how to live your life. Listen to advice for sure but the ultimate decision on who you truly are and what you truly stand for will always come from within yourself and nowhere else.

It takes a super hero to drop the mask and become an everyday hero. Are you up to the challenge?

Of course you are!

Now if you'll excuse me, there's plenty of Jokers' that I need to attend to in my life.

My crazy world has included successfully combining all the skills of an artist, photographer, designer, programmer, and marketer into one crazy life.

I love these author resource boxes. There's always a little nugget in each if the author is aware of them and you, my dear reader actually get to it.

I'm available for lots of things, especially those things that you wouldn't think I'd do! Try me, you'll be surprised!
