Sometimes the hardest person to show loyalty to is ourselves. But the real reason we're so angry and feel so bad inside is often because deep down we know that we betray ourselves every time we stay in that unhealthy relationship far longer than we should. And when we make that decision to take our lives in a path or direction that's not in alignment with our true hearts desire.
But we do it anyway out of trying to please other's like our parents, family, friends, mate or spouse instead of listening to our inner guidance and intuition. We do this every time we take that job or make that career choice to in order to live up to the expectations of another. When we really don't feel in our gut and soul that that career path is what we're being called on a deeper level to do.
We also betray ourselves when you have babies because your parents are pressuring you to give them grandchildren. Or when you marry that person not because you feel they are a true match for you. But because they on paper they fit all the criteria you know will please your family, uphold a certain image you wand to maintain, or because you don't want to let your parents down by following your heart and marrying someone else who they may feel is beneath the family standards. But there is nothing honorable in betraying yourself for the sake of someone else.
When we do this...when we betray our selves in these various ways by allowing our need for acceptance to make us place our loyalty to other's as higher priority over being to ourselves, we feel awful inside. Yet, beating yourself and putting yourself down is just as unhealthy and doesn't make you feel any better.
In fact, the only remedy that's proven to do that is making the choice to be love yourself enough to be true to your hearts desire....be true to your vision for your life...be true to your dreams, aspirations and goals....be true to yourself...and when you do you will then have learned how to also be loyal to your soul. This is just a little "Something to tuck under you pillow" to ponder as you fall asleep tonight. Have a good night!
Until next time....Remember to keep you heart open and your LOVE light on!
