Today’s message is Be Yourself. This card says “This situation calls for you to be your authentic self, which is the basis for your personal power.”
You probably haven’t really been encouraged to “be yourself” very much. Sure, people say it all the time – “just be yourself!” as if its the easiest thing in the world to go against a lifetime of training and conditioning that encourages the opposite.
How many times have you wanted to say something, but kept quiet for fear of upsetting someone or rocking the boat?
So “just being yourself” isn’t always easy. Sometimes it requires real courage. But in the end, its way more fun and in some ways can be the easiest option, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time.
So say what you mean today. Do what you feel and let your desires and ideas show the way. Don’t try to be someone else, don’t try to squeeze yourself into a “role” and don’t try to make yourself more acceptable to others. It’s time to really bust out and be authentic!
Unfortunately being myself at the minute would entail being quite nasty and outspoken, so I guess there has to be a balance somewhere! thanks as always Kate.

LOL! I know what you mean, Denise 😉
Yay, I didn’t know I could enjoy the oracles of Doreen that much, They so encouraging and uplifting. Exactly what a need on this dreary Monday morning.
Is seem so easy to be your authentic self but i feel it is one of the most difficult challenges in life. Every day I will get up and try again to be me! 🙂
Ellen, that is so true – it really is one of the most challenging things sometimes. Ah well, I think the more we do it, the easier it gets 🙂
