It is one thing to clarify our values and quite another to behave in accordance with them each and every day. Facing the truth about the gap between who we want to be and who we really are is never easy. Each of us has an infinite capacity for self-deception. In myriad ways, we push from our awareness that which we find unpleasant or upsetting or contrary to the way we wish to see ourselves. Until we can clear away the smoke and mirrors and look honestly at ourselves, we have no starting point for change. Psychiatrist R.D. Laing captured this cleverly in a short poem:
The range of what we think and do Is limited by what we fail to notice And because we fail to notice That we fail to notice There is little we can do To change Until we notice How failing to notice Shapes our thoughts and deeds Today's Soul Wave... facing the truth can be unpleasant, but denial is a form of disengagement and constrictive. .What can you do to open to the truth about yourself to create freedom? #soulwaves #lifecoach #freedom #engagement #energy #thinkmore #beopentochange #seetheforestthroughthetrees #purepotentiality #truth
