Speaking Our Truth

Author
Karla Solano

One of the things to admire the most about children is the fact that they are not afraid of speaking their minds. They tell it like it is whether we like it or not. This is an amazing trait that as adults we try to suppress for the fear of being imprudent, hurting someone's feelings or simply because we don’t want to seem too straight forward; so we teach children early on to lie or hide how they really feel. We grow up thinking that is not right to let others know our true feelings and we begin the journey of deceit and illusion, creating sometimes a facade to cover up who we are or what’s really on our mind.

As adults we need to learn to peel the old layers that blocked us from being able to express ourselves freely as when we were kids, and re-connect with that child within who saw the world from the perspective of honesty and clarity. This world would be a much better place if we all learned to connect with each other from heart to heart, instead of pretending to be something or someone we are not just to fit in.

Speaking our truth is an essential aspect of our life in order to have perfect relationships with everyone we are involved with, whether in the work place or in our personal life. Being honest not only gives you character but it also allows others to see the real you, and respect you for who you are. Learning to put aside the fear of speaking our truth is one of the most challenging things some of us might have to encounter, however it is of utmost importance to let go of that fear so we can begin to lead a life of true connection with others.

We have so much to learn from children, not only do they teach us how to express ourselves with honesty but also how to live free of limitations and judgment. They show us how to experience life in fun & creative ways; they have mastered the real way of living life and as adults we need to allow them to be whom they are and encourage them to keep that connection with their truth so that they don’t follow in our footsteps of fear and deception.

The time is now to voice our opinion and show our true colors, we were all given the power and intelligence to speak our minds so why be afraid to say it like it is? Connect with your personal power and unleash the truth within so your heart can be free.

The Winter in our Life


Author
Karla Solano

Winter is a season that allows us to find refuge in order to feel the warmth and comfort we seek. This is a season in which we tend to isolate ourselves to look within and try to find our place in this world.

Just like trees shed all the leaves and become bare, we too go through a process of “shedding our old skin” if you will; we prepare and adjust accordingly in order to transform and evolve. As human beings we tend to hibernate in order to re-charge from our daily fast paced environment; finding comfort and joy in the small things in life.

Winter can be a wonderful time to focus our attention in the things we have been putting off; working from the inside out so that when the season changes we are ready to blossom just like the flowers in the spring. Changing with the seasons is a very cleansing process that can bring personal and spiritual expansion. Every waking moment brings a new leaf of growth; therefore, it is important to appreciate every moment and every season in order to see the splendor and divine connection surrounding our existence.

Winter can be full of storms but instead of worrying and seeing that as a nuisance try to connect with the energy of that storm. See it as a way of purifying and bringing forth change. Metaphorically speaking, every storm as chaotic as it maybe, always brings along peace, sunshine and a new beginning after is gone.

Sunshine and rainbows are always associated with the peace brought forth after a heavy storm. Life works the same way; just as the winter comes with hibernation, cold months, and storms, so does it bring beauty, warmth, and a period of self reflection and transformation so that we can be ready for the blossoming of our own spring.

Compassion

Author
Karla Solano

Compassion is the ability to submerge oneself in the infinite energy of Love. By opening up our heart to this abundant loving energy, we become more accepting and forgiving of the people we interact with.

Becoming a compassionate being is an important step in understanding the deep connection we have with all that exists; when we give in to compassion, we open the doorway that leads to the path of selflessness and freedom from judgment. This doorway can only be accessed once we have learned to love unconditionally and without a controlling agenda.

The ability to truly express kindness and respect for everyone around us is a gift that unfortunately we choose to share with only a few. Our world is in desperate need of peace and the only way to achieve it is by fully integrating with one another and connecting in a higher plane of existence, a plane where we put our ego aside and learn to communicate from heart to heart.

We are all interconnected in unimaginable ways; therefore it is of extreme importance to observe our behavior in order not to keep broadening the selfish gap amongst human race.

Compassion is like a seed that needs nurturing in order to grow and flourish, but first we must plant this loving seed within us before we try to find it in everyone else. I look forward to the day when each one of us will wake up and set each other free through the power of love, harmony and divine connection, the day in which our souls will blossom into one.

Confront your fears!!

Author
Karla Solano

Confront your fears... There is nothing more debilitating than allowing our fears to take over our life. As scary as life may seem sometimes, it is imperative to realize that fear is just energy and as such it can be transmuted into an empowering fuel. Since our fears are the main reason why we don't explore life to its fullest potential, it can be of extreme importance to observe our fears as they arise. By doing so, we can tune in the right direction as to figuring out their cause and in return find a way to eradicate them from our existence.

Our mind has an infatuation with drama and it loves to create scenarios in our head that bring forth fearful emotions; the key is to take the bull by its horns and shift our perception from fear to empowerment. We are a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for; therefore we have the power to choose between allowing our fears to paralyze us or living a life full of infinite possibilities.

One of a Kind

Author
Karla Solano

Life experiences can sometimes get us off balance without us even realizing it; causing us to doubt our ability to perform or make the right choices. Consequently, it is important to recognize that no matter how much pressure others put on us, we need to look within and connect with that inner confidence in order to find the power to surpass the apparent obstacles in our life.

A major part of our personal development requires us to observe ourselves and discover that we are unique individuals and as such we are beautiful in our own way, we have special talents that differ from others so there is no need to compete with the people around us. We each have our own journey to discover with different opportunities specific to where we currently are in our personal development, therefore, there is no need to waste our time comparing and tormenting ourselves with other people’s successes or failures.

The doors of opportunity will open up when we are ready and willing to walk through that threshold of possibilities; when we decide to release the fear of failing or disappointing ourselves and others, and when we stop worrying about being judged.

The truth of the matter is that we are one of a kind, and we all have something special to offer whether at the work place or in our personal relationships; keeping this in mind will not only give us the confidence needed to shine in everything we set our minds to do but it will also encourage us to live a life full of passion, with the assurance that we all have great input to share in the process of co-creating and co-existing with human kind. Connecting with this truth within will enable us to experience a fulfilled life without jealousy or envy.

Only you know what is best for you and as nice as it is to have the support of family and friends to give us advice, it is important to keep in mind that we are the only ones who ultimately will have to deal with the consequences of the decisions we make. So learn to quiet your mind and listen and trust your inner feelings because they will never steer you in the wrong direction.
