THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

A number of years ago I went on a weekend away with a group of woman who I was getting to know. It was such an awesome weekend get away...always is with girlfriends right. One night we decided to play a game of truth....ohhh truth! Ekkkkk scary. We all took a chair and questions were fired at the us to answer. If, it was NOT OUR TRUTH, we got to stay seated where we were. If it WAS TRUE, we had to get up and swap to another seat with someone else who's truth it also was. We were laughing so much I think a few of us nearly peed our pants (oh the problems us woman have to deal with, I tell ya) Some of the questions where so funny, Some a little naughty, Some a bit cringe worthy (do we, don't we tell our truth) Anyway...I remember one question being fired out. 'Have you ever been cheated on' So up I got and shifted chairs...Yes, my answer was Yes. The next question.... 'Have you ever been the one to cheat' And I stayed very still in my chair and didn't move an inch. My only thought in that moment was. There is no way I can do what they are doing...speaking their truth (which I deep down I admired) I mean here we were, hanging out with a group of girlfriends, why could I not be honest with them, It was just a game after all. Right there in that moment...I was not speaking my truth. Why? I was scared of being judged. I was scared of what they would suddenly think of me. I was scared it would change their opinion of me. I was ashamed of being that kind of person. I was scared to speak my truth! We are all hiding from our truth in some way or another. We hide behind shame, guilt, humour, judgement, gossip, OTT friendliness, relationships... Oh we hide in so many places it's not funny. We are all screaming for and asking for truth, Yet we find it challenging to speak our own truth to ourselves firstly, and then to others. We cover our own truth by judging others in their so called 'wrong doings' When we break ourselves away and allow our truth to come through, no one can ever hold us down for it. This part has stopped me moving in many ways, afraid of my truth coming out. I have numbed myself with drugs and alcohol behind closed doors and in social circles. I have been cheated on and I have been the cheater. I have spoken words of lies and I have spoken words of truth, I have stolen and I have owned up to my wrong doings. I have said No when I really wanted to say Yes, and Yes when I have wanted to say No. I have kept my mouth closed when I wished I had spoken, And spoken when I wished I had kept it closed. So yes, I've done things in my teens, 20's & 30's & even now in my 40's, that I'm not the proudest of. But we have to forgive those ages and stages to be able to move forward. And one thing I've learnt, is that when something happens, it kinda had to happen...because it happened. And with that we get to take a lesson from it all, And to live and allow ourselves to move from those experiences to where we wish to be. We have all walked through life not telling our truth in some way or another, And we do so, because we don't want the world to see us, because we don't think that they will understand. Your truth is what sets you free, it's what heals you, it's what gives you freedom within. The more I step into my truth, The more I can breath, The more I can move, The more I can be a guide for others to do the same for themselves. This is my mission in life... To see you living in your truth... To see myself living in my truth... The most truest us of all...what ever that looks like for you. Your truth is different to mine, and mine from yours. If this speaks to you in some way and you're ready to step into your truth, Message me for a complimentary call to get you started. Let's start living in a world of truth. Char x
