Have you ever felt that there are certain situations in your life where you are just not comfortable being yourself? Or maybe you’ve tried too hard to fit in, so as to not make waves or upset anyone.

This might seem innocent enough, but it might be costing you more than you realize in terms of your power, freedom, and full self-expression.

In this week’s video, I share the story of how I made my absolute biggest mistake ever when trying to fit in and pretend to be like everyone else, hiding my work as a channeler and my walk-in experience.

I made this mistake twice because I didn’t want to upset people. You’ll see why it wasn’t worth it.

Technology has in many ways convinced us that we don’t really need nature, except on special occasions. But what have we lost as individuals by inadvertently believing this? If nature is last on the list of our individual priorities in life, then we are on a path of diminishing the pure essence that makes us special as human beings.

You see, we are completely, wholly, and totally a part of the natural world. We are an integral part of a massive ecosystem of life, that includes stars, planets, galaxies, and beyond. How strange it is that we find it acceptable to erase the beauty of nature from our personal lives.

I’m sure that you are already well aware of the beauty of the outside world of nature, such as what can be found in the kingdoms of mountains, lakes, forests, oceans, and the beautiful sky overhead.

But what about the beauty of you in your natural state? And what happens if you choose to disregard that beauty?

We are each born as totally authentic beings. Then something happens. From the time we are tiny, society starts telling us exactly how to think, what to believe, how to act, how to dress, etc.

These ideas are not offered as helpful suggestions. Rather they are introduced within a system of societal punishment and reward. You will be rewarded with society’s approval if you follow the status quo, and you might be ridiculed or ostracized if you don’t.

Some people are really good at fitting in. Others are not. But nonetheless, this is society’s stated goal: Fit in, or else.
