Stay In Your Own Lane!

Just the other day I was having a conversation with someone who was trying to live-up to the expectations of others. They were struggling with:
1. Trying to figure out what the other people expected of them,
2. And how to execute the expectations so that these other people could be happy with them.

I also had this same conversation with someone a few months ago where they were trying to comply with a list of requests placed upon them by another person, but somehow kept falling short on completing this list to the satisfaction of that other person.

I submit to both of these people that you will NEVER EVER be able to satisfactorily live-up to the life expectations of others. Reason being is that their expectations have nothing to do with you and vice versa. The list is subjective and will continue to be vague because it has nothing to do with you!

I like using the analogy of two traveling cars, destination at the discretion of the driver (YOU). How you drive your car is your own business! You may like going fast while I like traveling a bit slower; you blast your pop music while I vibe to reggae; your car maybe spotless while mine haven’t been washed in months. No matter how much you want to change how I operate my car, you can’t because it’s not your car. The bottom line is, Stay In Your Own Lane!

Honor Your Truth (Part II)

I felt the need to expand on this earlier post because it’s really important to live an Authentic Life, in other words to be REAL!

What you THINK is your Right path to travel comes straight from the Head. The head holds all of the information you’ve received, over-time, from your environment, parents, friends, teachers, encounters, and so on. Your mind holds all of this information in its database and when something new or different enters your life, you search your database to generate:
 how should I feel
 what should I do, or not do
 when should I do it, or not do it

What you FEEL is your Right path to travel comes straight from the Heart. The Heart is the portal to where God resides. When you tap into this space and place nothing seems to follow the logic we are accustom to, but at the same time there’s a serene lightness that exist in the body temple that words can’t explain. Everyone has experienced a time (if only briefly) where you just felt good but didn’t know why (with no major changes in your life). That’s the feeling I’m talking about.

You don’t need a preexisting database to live your Truth. You just have to be willing to get out of your Head and into your Heart.
