Who Are You?

I'm nobody, who are you?

Emily Dickinson

There are times I get lost in self-doubt, allowing darkness to fall around me.   It is difficult to see who I really am when there is no light to reflect my image.  I get frozen in place, unable to move forward, forgetting who I am.  

When I do not trust in the beauty and depth of life, I am governed by fear.  (F.E.A.R. is false evidence appearing real.) To step through false perception, strength and courage are the rewards waiting for me on the other side.  Delusion prevents full realization, keeping my life small. 

There are other occasions I feel empowered through trust as though I were making a difference in this magical world.  I feel spirit led, insightful, and pure hearted.  I hear all of the beautiful sounds found in nature and view my surroundings in wonder. 

So there is choice in how I navigate through life.  If I select fear, I stay stuck and unproductive, basically a victim.  If I embrace trust, I move forward with deeper awareness and action creates confidence. 

To support myself with like minded friends, books of wisdom, and meaningful meditations, I will find the strength and freedom to be who I am meant to be.  I will call to the Universe to meet me part way, helping me to discover what I need.

Who I am, is up to me.  If I think of myself as 'nobody', then I will be 'nobody'.  If I think of myself as a beautiful creative spirit, then I will be that and more!
