They say "Every truth creates a scandal". If you have no scandals in your life, my question is are you living by your truths, your passions? It is a funny precarious place to be. We are taught as children that it is desirable to be seen and not heard. When we hold onto those beleifs as adults we live a life of existance and complacency, just moving through the day without the passion and vital force we were born with. Just think of the energy and vital force you had the day you you were born, kicking and screaming, blatting like there were no tomorrow. Do you still have that energy? Granted it is nice when it has matured to a quiet roar, a wiser way of communication, but still.....
Sometimes when we are verbal, when we speak the truth, it creates a scandal. Sometimes when we live by our passions, what feeds and drives us, it turns out not to match the truths of those around you. So what do you do? There are so many different ways we all approach it. Do you hang in there, be the strong arm that is determined to get everyone to go your way? Do you gather up your truths and put them in a little box, to be quieted for another time. That healthy balance is critical to your success in what ever you do. To deny yourself a life that does not live by your personal truths is a life of denial, mere existance, being seen and not heard. The illness in the form of addictive abuse in our society is overwhelming. When you deny yourself a life of truths you create a hole that longs to be filled. When you stifle your voice, when you live a life of being seen and not heard, your joy in what you are here to do will be absent. We are all here with a purpose, we have all been born with special talents that are meant to be shared.
Sometimes we end up living a life, in an environment that denies our truths, our self, who we are. W.C. Feilds said "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit! Theres no use in being a damn fool about it!" Sometimes you gotta be a quitter to be a winner! If you are in a place today that you are not living by your convictions, your passions, your truths, and are filling that hole with unhealthy behaviours, it may be time to quit! It may be a job, it may be well meaning friends, it may be a phyically abusive relationship. We all know when we quit any of these we stand to create a scandal. Its hard, takes alot of introspection, listening to that inner voice. If you are unhappy with you, with your weight, your motivation, addictive behaviours, it may be time to come to terms with your truths, be a quitter, and create a scandal.
