Walk in your truth

Walking in your truth is not as easy as it sounds. You have to know who you are. You have to know your strengths and your weaknesses. You have to know what you are willing to compromise and what you have to keep in order to be your own true self. I will never be one for greatness because, at my core, I don't like what I would have to become to get it. I am not an attention seeker willing to give that much of myself away. I am not a business head willing to trade my emotions for the sake of a business. I have no problem with those who do, it just is not my my thing. If I have no problem with these choices, then why should any of you have a problem with it? Sure you see greatness in me, I do too. But at what cost? Part of what makes me so different is that I refuse to be something that I am not. You see? I am not like all those other people you see on television. I am a behind the scenes kind of person. This is my truth. I function well there. I am free to be myself and do as I feel the right thing to do. Being in the limelight requires me to do things I normally wouldn't do. In a way I feel like the now infamous Phil Robertson. He signed up to be in the public eye and then the public asked him to stop being so public about his beliefs. Just what do people expect him to be? Change him to fit their own perception of what they think he should be? I am much to strong to allow that to happen to me. I have no fear in walking away when I am not comfortable. I have learned not to be angry or have my feelings hurt about it. Sometimes I stick my toe into water knowing it is the wrong temperature hoping I will get used to it. Sometimes that water feels more like cement. That is ok, I just con't go there that's all. No harm no foul.
