Are You Going Through Life A Chameleon?

Sometimes we pretend to want change and work very hard to convince others we in fact have changed. Usually...we have found a way to blend in; adapting to whatever others expect or want from us. This allows us to remain true to ourselves internally but living a falsehood externally. Most of the time these lifestyle can't be maintained for very long, generally six months or so, based upon experience.

As a human, molding yourself to be what others want you to be never leads to a positive outcome. In fact just the opposite. It can create misunderstandings, mistrust and destroy the very thing you were attempting to achieve in the first place.

If you want to change then muster up your intent and go for it. If you choose otherwise, honesty with yourself and others is the only viable option.

Anyone who has attempted change understands exactly the commitment required to obtain their desired outcome. Change is never an easy path, often fraught with diversions and setbacks. It is like the Universe challenges your original intent and desire, testing your will. Do you really, really, want this? These are the moments weakness can overcome our desire and derail our train.

Sometimes life circumstances require us to be more adaptable. Although it might feel like a better idea to just stay in the moment, perhaps taking a risk or letting go of old parameters, is exactly what is needed.

Be true to your desires and aim toward being your authentic self. Find your nature and nurture it fully. Always remember change isn't easy for those around you to understand and embrace. These are your changes, they may not be on board. Sometimes really decent people undermine the efforts of others trying a new path. Usually fear of forced personal changes fuel their insecurity.

Stay strong in your convictions and work spiritually towards that goal. Remember compassion for those unable to understand your intent. Practice gratitude and ask for guidance along the way.

But...it might just be fun to be a chameleon for a little bit   ...don't ya think?
