" Generally by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get looses in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
Margery Williams-The Velveteen Rabbit
Authenticity sometimes is painful. Losing our beautiful coat or having our stuffing exposed is not only unattractive but leaves us vulnerable. In honesty, the thought both ignites me and terrifies me. Not just to be exposed to the world but also to myself. When is the last time I took a deep look underneath the surface? What if I don't like what I find there?
So I find myself desiring to become real without any inconvenience, pain, or embarrassment.
I want wisdom without having to learn the lesson.I want depth on the canvas without actually having to endure the dark times.
Isn't that just like me.
Today take one step towards your journey to being truly authentic. Caution: This may scare the pants off of you and those around you!
How about you? Is it your longing to be Real??
