True to self

Found this in my inbox today from a daily e-letter that I subscribe to....I love the message because it rings so true to me!

Wednesday January 27, 2010

Everything begins and ends with our own individual behavior.When we are honest with our emotions, however dark they may be, we invite others to be real and to face their own pain. And then real transformation can occur - that's how we are going to fix this planet.But when we suppress, when we are fake, we send a message out to others that they need to be fake too and hold in their truth. This is how things will remain the same.Today, be real. You don't need to be anyone else but who you are. Being honest helps the rest of us find our truth.

Love and light,
