The biggest tragedy in life is following a path that strips you away from the person you were meant to be—the person who is waiting for you to embrace and acknowledge that they exist.
The Mask
It’s common to see people walking around with a mask on. And I’m not talking about COVID.
The mask I’m talking about is the one we put on to hide our true selves—our real personality, values, emotions, and goals.
Every day, we leave our houses, our little safe spaces, with this mask on because we don’t want others to see our light. We believe that it blinds them, scaring away those we think we deserve. But what if I told you that letting go of this mask might be the best decision you could ever make?
You see, life itself is a miracle. Look at yourself—somehow, for some reason, you are alive. You’re breathing, your heart is beating, and you wake up every morning with the chance to live. But here’s the thing: you only have this experience once. Or at least, that’s what most of us believe. And if it’s true? Then this might be your only chance to ever live.
I spent much of my life hiding behind a mask. I went so far that I even forgot who I truly was and who I wanted to be, all for others to accept me—not for who I am, but for who they wanted me to be. I changed my attitude, my values, my opinions. I hurt people. And all of that just to be part of something I thought was important to me. But it wasn’t—it was only important to my ego. It wanted to be seen, it wanted to be acknowledged. And I paid the price.
Every day, we choose to wear this mask. It becomes our new identity, our way of living. But deep down, you know that it doesn’t fulfill you. It hurts you in the long run, and one day, you’ll look back and think about all the things you could have done differently if you had only let go of that mask. You could have been so much happier, so much more powerful.
The first step I took was to become aware of the problem. My belief system was completely out of control—nothing I thought, believed, or strove for was really my own choice. Knowing about manifestation, I decided to do something about it. And I became my true self. I let go of old relationships, followed my dreams, and became the version of myself I’d always wanted to be.
How to Lay Down the Mask
First, become aware of your belief system. Evaluate whether your beliefs resonate with who you truly are. This is the first step, as awareness is essential to combat those limiting thoughts and beliefs. Write down the version of yourself that you truly desire to be. Remind yourself of who you really are. What are your values, your deepest desires, your real personality?
You want to act and think like the person you truly are deep down. That’s why we’ll begin by changing our mindset toward ourselves. We do this by focusing on reprogramming our subconscious mind.
Look at the list of qualities you wrote down, and develop a few affirmations or visualization scenes that reflect who you want to be. Repeat these daily. By repeating this new story—being your true self wherever you go—your mind will begin to accept it as your new reality. Change your thoughts, and your life will change.
Additionally, cultivate a sense of gratitude toward yourself and the world around you. Gratitude isn’t just a positive emotion; it’s one of the greatest tools you can harness to turn your life into a blessing. Each morning, sit down and write 5-6 things you’re grateful for. By focusing on gratitude, you’ll notice your life improving in a short amount of time. When you focus on things to be grateful for, your subconscious mind will create more and more experiences that resonate with that gratitude. In short, life becomes so much easier and more enjoyable.
Also, subliminals are a great tool for creating fast change in your life. I highly recommend using our gratitude and true self subliminals. They are life-changing!
Conclusion
Life is a blessing, and we might only have one chance to experience it. That’s why it’s so important to live rather than just exist. Become your true self—lay down the mask. Drifting away from your true personality, values, and goals isn’t worth a life of regret. So make a change. Because nothing changes if nothing changes.
Stay safe, my friend!
