For me, being authentic is synonymous with enlightenment. Both terms are connected with being true to yourself. Both are directly connected with staying true to your values.Exactly what is  important to you ? We must learn to embracing ourselves.Love yourself despite public opinion. The term ” being comfortable in your own skin” comes to mind. Empowerment comes when  you finally realize that you are “perfectly” unique. There were no mistakes made with you.Each of us is like a rare ,exotic flower . Some of us are more closed minded to this fact than others. Nevertheless,There is no one else nor will there ever be anyone quite like you…ever. There is an “awakening” that takes place that is directly tied to your genuine happiness because by embracing your true self, you no longer live by others standards. This is what it means to “bloom”. You come into your own.You are indeed free and , in the process, you inspire others to claim their own freedom. We are all connected.  Freedom and empowerment are also both at the root of enlightenment and being authentic. Who are you? God experiencing itself,herself, himself…. all of the above. You are either consciously or unconsciously unfolding , evolving, discovering who you are , what you are, your capabilities. All is well always.There are no errors. There are only experiences and ,yes, consequences for our actions, but no judgement from anyone outside of ourselves. It only seems that way based on our own perception.Whatever is out there is us and we are it. The “word” has become flesh. You and I are timeless ideas that have taken form. There are no mistakes. When this fact has been realized, it can change your perspective about what is possible.You are no longer limited by perceived “circumstances”. You ARE pure consciousness becoming “conscious” of itself. You need only to think and decide on what it is you desire and it MUST manifest because it is an extension of you . The thought must become a thing. It is an immutable law.

Regardless of where you are in life, you can change your course.It all starts with a thought. Blooming where your planted has to do with realizing that you are far more capable and powerful than you thought you were. You have awakened to the fact that you are  limitless spirit “playing” human. Nothing in this life is permanent besides you. You are never hopeless nor alone.There are universal laws in place, regardless of where you are at in your life that exist to conspire on your behalf once you decide what you desire your life to look like. Be patient, yet persistent in living your passion every day.Look for things and situations to be happy about on a daily basis. Choose to be happy and engaged in the creative process of  designing your ideal lifestyle.  A lifestyle that best expresses who you truly are.If you persist, you will find that your “outer” circumstances will “adjust” to your inner mindset despite appearances. Stay driven and never compromise your vision. Trust the “work” that is occurring “behind the scenes” metaphysically. Do not concern yourself with the “how situations will change?”,rather, KNOW that it is bound to happen because you declared it to be so. Embrace your GODHOOD, your higher self. It is all play anyway whether you believe it or not. Yes, even the most challenging of circumstances. I do not mean to be heartless, rather my point is that challenges ,although hard, are temporary. Each of us enter this world and leave this world the same way just under different circumstances. What do we do with the time that we are here? Mindset and action are key to manifestation. Appearances are illusion. Consciousness determines reality. Decide to bloom where you are planted and do it. Until next time…
