Re-define Who We Are

By Carolyn Kates, Clarity with Carolyn

We are being given the opportunity to re-define who we are, since in truth we are always changing and are different people than we were last year or for that matter, who we were, yesterday. And yet as humans we remain attached to who we used to be because redefining ourselves can seem daunting and maybe, unnecessary.

Today the Universe wants you to take some time to get to know the new you. And, that may not be as easy as it sounds! First, you must be willing to awaken to the fact that you are not who you used to be and then be willing to explore your true self, right now.

Your true self is who you really are when you let go of all of the stories, labels, history and judgments that you have placed upon yourself. It is who you naturally are without the masks, labels and pretense, which you created to fit in or to make sense of your life.  Your true self is who you really are when you let go of other people’s stuff that you have taken on. Everything else that you claim to be when you say, “This is who I am!” is only a story.

Today, begin to get to know YOU so you can begin to be" just be yourself". Begin to peel through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs about who you are and begin to see and understand who you really are underneath all those layers of stories. 

When you let go of the old ways of thinking, follow your heart, and do what you love, you begin to align with happiness and peace. And, when you reach peace and joy, you will then know you are connected with your true self - you are just being yourself.

Today, allow yourself to go beyond all your conditioned beliefs, actions and thought patterns that you have accumulated throughout your life and just be yourself because everyone else is taken!

Just for today, as I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being - wise and beautiful. I love what I see when I look inside me. I am willing to let go of every thought, belief and idea that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I am willing to change. I am safe and everything is always working out for my highest good.

And so it is
