Labels

We aren’t made to just grow into labels that we currently have. Often, it feels like we must be who we have always been, that’s not the case. Recently, I heard someone say, that when we grow or change in a positive way, we are not changing who we are, but becoming more fully who we are meant to be.  I had never heard it like that before and it really made me think about the ways I am not living as the person I am meant to be. I had to ask myself why am I living the way I am right now? Part of it is fear, a lot of it is labels and the way people currently see me. I thought of all the things I could do if none of that was in the cards and I realized how much more I could accomplish. The only reason I could create Unbreakable Voices is because I ignored those things. Parts of me tried to stop myself from starting this and continuing it, but somehow, I am doing it. Every time I have been able to achieve extraordinary things, it has been because I have delved into to who I really am without caring about the thoughts of others. Each of us were created to follow a completely unique path and we were also given the dangerous gift of free will. That is awesome, yet free will can keep us from doing the things we were meant to do. There are so many things we can accomplish, but we stop ourselves because of excuses and labels. As we get older these labels come by choice and not by choice, but never the less they are there. Sometimes I feel as though I could never change any of these labels, yet I can. So many people never thought I would do something like this because I don’t follow through with ideas, but I did it anyways. I broke a “label” about me, you can do it too! It is such an empowering feeling. Some of us have labels much deeper and heavier than the one I just mentioned, but those can be broken too. You can make it out of the hole you are drowning in. I am not saying any of this is easy, but it is so very worth it. They say the truth hurts, and the hardest truth to face, is about ourselves. How can you be more fully who you are meant to be?
