"The unconditional love and acceptance of self seems
to be the hardest task for all humankind. Refusing to
accept our 'real selves', we try to create a more powerful
false selves or give up and become less than human."
John Bradshaw
There have been wasted years of projecting ourselves to meet other peoples expectations. Perhaps we were 'people pleasers' or 'duplicated Dora's' in order to create a sense of being that would be accepted. The more false we became, the sense of invisibility prevailed. We moved farther away from the gifts meant to be shared with our life imprint.
Duality is having one face we show to the world and then one other that we choose to hide. When we repress authentic parts of the self, a sense of shame, fear, and unworthiness pushes us farther into shallowness. It becomes challenging to imagine we are here to contribute just as we are.
To recognize our strengths and boost our skills, we become more purposeful socially, professionally and spiritually. The acceptance of the self and the ability to present with one persona, we have more energy and joy propelling us forward with a personal power contributing to all peoples, places, and things.
