Break the silence of your past to begin a sound future.
For isolation and suppression are very toxic.
Al Pearson
This past weekend, I personally came
into a greater understanding and deeper appreciation for Honesty which I call “The
Healing Agent of Transformation.”
Too often in life many choose to remain burden by the weight of their
past experiences that become a feeding ground for toxic waste such as fear,
shame, regret, condemnation, and guilt, to name a few. Please know that these waste materials can
only stay concealed for a certain length of time. Eventually somehow and someway, everything you have suppressed in your
emotions will find its way to the surface of your life. Although you may be verbally silent, your
actions will speak very loud for you instead.
With
this LĪVE Moment I’ve come to set
someone free! Free from the incessant
need to cover up, hide, isolate, and live life as if it is a perpetual
masquerade ball. The first step into
your season of change that serves as the catalyst for living a transformed life
is being honest with yourself!
One
of the definitions I truly appreciate for the word honest is “freedom from fraud”. Therefore, release yourself from the sin of
self-deception. This is pivotal to
living a life of freedom from the toxicities of your past. Willingly walking in self-deception is the
road to greater degrees of darkness and confusion. We all need some form of light in order to
walk or even drive in the dark.
Therefore, your walk in the Light of Truth can begin by you simply being
honest with yourself.
We can only give someone something we possess.
Additionally,
our relationships are established on the foundation of Truth when we
individually awaken to the true condition of our own souls (mind, emotions, and
will). Subsequently, it’s imperative for
us to stop looking out of the window with the false expectation that the
circumstances of our lives would be better if
everyone else involved in our life would change. A life of transformation is predicated upon
our willingness to look in the mirror and begin the transformation process by
activating the catalyst of change within ourselves first!
As
Coach Motivator Al Pearson states, “Transformation is the highest form of change.”
So today, I challenge you to begin
stretching to the point of no return by facing a sometimes difficult dose of honesty.
Dismiss the fear that looms over your head! Although a dose of honesty may initially be uncomfortable and downright painful, these
fleeting moments of personal affliction cannot even compare to the lasting joy
of personal freedom that lies on the other side. Always remember: “Honesty is your friend.”* And similar to a
mirror, a true friend will never lie
to you!

Better; but, I’m Not There Yet!”.
