Sharing because it is a timely reminder that gives us all an invitation to "reconnect" , embrace our self-essence, and be who we were born to be.
This resonated with me, not only because of the goat connection, but because providing safe, tranquil spaces for connecting/reconnecting with our authentic self is part of what Equietude Wellness Centre strives for within our individual and group programs.
"Who were you before you started erasing parts of yourself to become what you thought other people wanted you to be?"
That's a question worth sitting with.
Somewhere along the way, many of us traded authenticity for approval. We learned to stay quiet to keep the peace, shrink ourselves to make others comfortable or wear masks so we'd feel accepted. But the version of you that God created was never a mistake. You were never meant to become a copy of everyone else's expectations.
The world doesn't need a filtered version of who you are. It needs the kindness, strength, gifts and purpose that were placed inside you from the beginning.
Maybe today is the day you stop asking, "Will they approve of me?" and start asking, "Am I being faithful to who God created me to be?"
You don't have to earn your worth by pretending to be someone else. Your value was established long before anyone had an opinion about you.
Be unapologetically authentic. The right people will appreciate the real you and the One who created you already does.
