3/17/06: Hiding Behind Masks

While most people put up masks to hide parts of themselves they don't like, most people can see through the masks of others.

So if most people put up masks and most people can see through masks, why even bother with masks at all?

Allow yourself to show through, exactly as you are. People see you through your mask anyway. Who you are always shows through, no matter how hard you work at hiding it.

Instead of expending all that energy pretending, covering and hiding, try channeling it toward embracing vulnerability, accepting who you are - all parts of you - and expressing your true feelings.

Strip away your masks and let your soul shine through.
