Listen to Your Soul

No matter what you believe; politically, religiously, personally, there will be those who will bash you for it. There are those who will be offended by it. There will also be those who believe as you do. What you need to understand is that the only true voice you need to listen to is the deep quiet one inside YOU. Your conscience, your intuition; whatever you wish to call it. Stay true to yourself, the very core of your being, it makes all of life's difficult decisions so much easier to make. It will not always be easy to stand by your convictions, but once you begin to stand by them, they will further hold you up. Don't water them down to appease those around you. Stand up and be proud, but do it with respect and integrity. When you allow yourself the freedom to accept who you really are without apologies, you can do what you were meant to do....without shame, or reticence, or fear. Let yourself soar. I will end with one of my favorite quotes. 'Be who you really are, not who you have allowed yourself to become.' <3 Mishka
