Be The Truest Most Authentic Version Of Yourself

in #life7 years ago

In my last post here on Steemit, "Why I Stopped Drinking Alcohol And Will Never Drink Again", I discussed how much alcohol limited me over the years.

One of the biggest ways was in how I never felt like I was truly being myself.

I was either limited by the cult(ure)/matrix/society in not expressing myself... and when I wasn't doing that, the alcohol was reducing my self confidence and also limiting me from feeling confident enough to be the most authentic version of myself.

Some people who have followed me for years might say, "You express yourself more than most people I know!"

And, that might be the case. But in many ways I was limiting myself dramatically. Those who have been following me have likely noticed the changes over the last few months as I quit smoking, became a raw vegan/fruitarian and stopped drinking while I was at home.

I began to come out of my shell a bit. I felt confident in just being me. I felt like, "This is how I feel and I don't care what you think about me, I'm going to say it goddamit!"

And now that I have fully stopped drinking I have reached a new level of confidence. I am finally becoming comfortable in my own skin.

I recently walked the depressing streets of Las Vegas while I discussed how important it is that all of us be the truest and most authentic version of ourselves. We are all special. And the machine/matrix/cult(ure) doesn't want you to express that. It wants us all to be the same... to be bots in the machine.

Here's my take on why we all need to express ourselves to the world and why it's never been more important:

Follow me here on Steemit as I do my daily "walk n talks", sometimes with anarcho-dogs, sometimes without, from various locations on Earth.

Next I'll discuss the person we all need to get to know the most... ourselves.

I hear your message. I have no room for any arguments.

There is much wisdom here; so it's great to hear; it's life affirming and it makes me brave.

above all else

Thanks!

Btw. you should take a day off, you look a bit tired!?

You're the man, Jeff

Great post. Love the way u inspires people and how honest and open u are :0) I agree 100%
I also want to thank u for being the one that got me here to steemit :0) I saw a video once and checked this out and got stuck. Best thing ever. This is a great place to be and to meet awsome people.

There are so many things that we don't really know about ourselves and many more that we have been conditioned to believe. It is very important to listen to our bodys and understand how it works. It is amazing to see how much wisdom is inside of us on how our lives could change when we follow our inner messages. Great article; keep up the good work.

Alcohol is poison.

Yes, hence the old adage you get in films where one guy is at the bar and asks his buddy "what's your poison?".
In any event, a bit of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that.
The problem with drinking is that it's more-ish.
The more you consume the more you want.
If you can train yourself to have a glass of wine with a nice steak and not go crazy, then it's quite safe and very enjoyable.
Cheers.

It's the more-ish I had problems with...
peace

Totally agree with you here @jeffberwick ! We all have our own path in life. Nobody can judge that one path is better then the other. We are all pieces of one huge shattered mirror and all we have to do is be true to ourselves.

This way will will see our ourgoing vibration reflecting in the world and the people around us! What you put out is what you get back!!
