These words are taken from Mark Nepo’s  THE BOOK OF AWAKENING, page 279.

There is little more that is necessary to say about this except to quote Mark’s words from this same page: “………Being who you are does not let others down.”.

If we could all understand this and then heal the erroneous beliefs that say we can’t be who we are because others may get mad, then our world would be restored to Harmony.

These words form the essence of my therapeutic practice. I learned that I could not be who I was at all; that my only function was to help others and I needed to do this or my world would collapse. The challenge is that though I did try to help others in every way I could, my world collapsed over and over again. My sister died of alcoholism. So many challenges and collapses have occurred. I finally learned that truth that my only function is to be who I am and then to help others as my soul guides me to.

This learning has made all the difference in my life and the work I do with my clients helps them learn this as well so that they can go forward and be who they are and thereby bless the world.
