Who Are You Copying?
Do you admire someone and follow what they do?
Are you copying what
you have heard will be good?
Are you imprinted by
those in your family of origin?
Do you believe what
you hear from authority figures?
When
we do not know what is right for us, we tend to do what we are told.
When we are afraid
and resisting those we distrust, we tend to do exactly the opposite.
When we want to be
like someone we admire, we tend to copy their behavior and mannerisms.
When we are unaware
of those who have come before us, we often repeat their history unconsciously.
Animals
and human beings tend to copy others of the same origin and history.
When we become
aware, we can choose to continue the behavior or make a change.
When we know what is
not right for us, we can conscientiously choose to break the cycle.
When we do not
notice, we tend to go along to belong to what is familiar.
Children
often take on the identity of their parents in name and behaviors and history.
Children may take on
their parents’ emotions and fears, mistakes and self judgments.
Children may repeat
their family history unconsciously often as an act of healing and love.
Children will seek
to find a better way and make wiser decisions to find a better way.
We
are the first generation to take the time and energy to assess what works and
doesn’t.
This is the first
time people have the opportunity to forgive the past and choose again.
We are the ones who
will clear the past and choose for a future that is more awake and aware.
This is our
opportunity to support and encourage a healthier happier, more fulfilling way
to live.
Stop
and look at whom you admire, emulate and desire to be.
Are you taking
the time to see who you really are?
Have you begun to
discover the gifts and talents you bring?
Are you willing
to be true to your own unique way of being?
‘Copying is a form of flattery’, they say.
Copying may be the
easiest way to try to live like another.
Copying may reflect
your values and how you want to be.
Reflect on you and
whether others want to copy you, too.
Do you copy to join with the latest beliefs?
Do you copy to
make sure you don’t upset anyone?
Do you copy
because you see it as right for you?
Do you copy to be
sure you are not noticed or judged?
Set
the highest standard you can imagine for yourself.
Give yourself the
attention you need to do what is good for you?
Learn the
alternatives to always doing the same thing.
Believe you can be
unique and live your whole life in integrity.
Life
gives us opportunities to discover and find our own ways.
Trust your Self and
free your Self to be your Self!
Why not, go for
it?
Love
you as you are.
Me too!

I am
hearing once again to listen to my own heart and follow the guidance therein.
I am
trusting that what inspires and lifts me with joy is what I am called to do.
I am
inviting you to do what is within you and your calling today and everyday.
I am
knowing that this is our time to step out with love, freeing ourselves to be.
We are
the ones who must honor our highest choices with prayer and voice
and action.
Choosing
a sunrise gathering this year at our Lake House!
With
Freedom and Trust I let it all be.
