You Were Born This Way

I was always told, "You are the way God made you." I may not have kept the strong faith I was brought up in but I did keep this old idiom near and dear to me.

I sincerly believe this is true. You are who you are, and while you will always have the free will to make your Choices and explore the world as you see fit, your Soul is the one you were born with. Sure you may discover new things about yourself. Recently I have been discovering I am braver than I thought, but this has always been part of me I am simply becoming Aware of it.

The Spirita book "Snippettes of Spirit" has a short but powerful passage, marked only by the number 61:

If you are

Soul born

you need not 

be 

Reborn.

Short and to the point but it does make since. In you vast and wide search for Awareness you will confront your Soul. You aren't going to be born anew through Awareness. Your already here, your already you but you will be more apt to Honor Yourself. 

Kinda the flip side of this is that if you are the way you are, so is everyone else. So, there's a certain understanding of accepting others. 

Really in a nut shell I believe you should Honor yourself by accepting you and then accept others as you would want them to accept you. Nut shell, simple as that.

Until Next Time,
