The unknown is by far our greatest enemy. The unknown makes us have conversations with ourselves that result in self-proclaimed knowledge. The unknown makes us see everything about our lives as negative and bad for us. The unknown sees fear rise up and take hold. The unknown lets fear take control.
Keeping secrets is the single most destructive thing that anyone can do to their own lives. I speak a lot about Brene Brown who is a research psychologist who specialists in shame and vulnerability and she has this to say about shame : “Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It’s the fear that we’re not good enough.” She says this about us as human beings as well : “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
When talking about shame Brene says : “ We live in a world where most people still subscribe to the belief that shame is a good tool for keeping people in line. Not only is this wrong, but it is dangerous. Shame is highly correlated with addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders and bullying.”
When we allow ourselves to step into the light, we give ourselves permission to be vulnerable and being vulnerable is the most courageous thing that you can do.
Talking about our lives and sharing our stories, keeps nothing in the dark and when nothing is kept in the dark, monsters are not given life.
Over the last two years, so much of our own selves has been brought to light. We have come to understand that we all need to be kinder to each other. We have all come to understand that we all need to be kinder to ourselves. There is an absolute desire that has sprung up in us all to understand our purpose, to know who we are, to find the light, to reconnect with each other in ways that we never did before. This reconnecting has brought out the best and worst in us and that’s also not such a bad thing. Because how can you know the worst about yourself if you keep it in the dark. If you allow others to form opinions of you or allow yourself to form opinions of you that are not accurate and have no truth.
Fully exploring yourself forces you to seek out the best and seek out the worst and in doing so, you give yourself the gift of change. You give to yourself the gift of seeing yourself perhaps for the first time, of understanding your life, your choices, your purpose, your relationships. You give to yourself the gift of knowing that there is a great force that is in control and in releasing to that force, you no longer suppress all that is dark around you – you simply eradicate it altogether.
