True to Self, Pursue Your Dreams

I attended Disney's Elemental Movie launch yesterday with my ex-girlfriend. This movie has a very important life lesson...it's about being true to yourself and going for the things you want, even if you’ve been told all your life that you can’t.

From my perspective, being true to ourselves and going after what we want, despite being told we can't, is essential for personal growth, fulfilment, and overall well-being.

Here's?why:

1.?Find your Life Purpose and Meaning:

One key takeaway from the movie is to find your life purpose and be the person you were meant to be. Throughout our lives, we often encounter people who doubt our abilities and try to impose their limitations on us. However, true fulfilment and happiness can only be found by embracing our authentic selves and pursuing our deepest desires.

Don't allow the expectations and judgments of others to dictate the course of your life. Instead, take the time to reflect on your passions, values, and dreams.?What truly resonates with you??What makes your heart sing??In these answers, you will discover your life purpose and why you were put on this Earth.

Once you have identified your life purpose, have the courage to pursue it wholeheartedly. Remember, the journey may not be easy, and obstacles may arise along the way. But by remaining true to yourself and holding onto your dreams, you will cultivate a sense of fulfilment that?can only come from living authentically.

Embrace your uniqueness and trust in your abilities. Surround yourself with individuals who support and uplift you rather than those who belittle or discourage you. Remember, it's your life, and?you have the power to shape it according to your aspirations.

So, take a leap of faith and embark on the path that aligns with your true self. Be the person you were meant to be, and let your light shine brightly. In doing so, you will inspire others to follow their dreams and create a life of joy, meaning, and fulfilment for yourself.

2.?Use both our Head and Heart:

Question your assumptions and use both your head and heart to make decisions. The saying "fire and water cannot mix" implies that when opposing forces come together, nothing good can come out of it. However,?blindly accepting such beliefs can limit our potential and hinder personal growth.

Instead, challenge the notion that certain things cannot coexist harmoniously.?Embrace the power of polarities and see them as something you can manage instead of solving with a YES or NO answer. Question the assumptions and limitations that others have placed upon you. What if you can prove them wrong? What if you can forge your own path that defies conventional expectations?

Making decisions solely based on logic or emotions may only sometimes lead to the most fulfilling outcomes. It's important to strike a balance between the two. Engage your head to evaluate the practical aspects of your desires and ambitions, considering the risks and rewards. But?don't neglect the power of your heart, intuition, and passion. Trust your inner voice, which often holds the key to your true desires and aspirations.

Remember, you are the author of your own life. Don't let the opinions of others extinguish your fire or dampen your spirit. Embrace the courage to challenge the status quo and pursue the things that bring you joy and fulfilment. By?questioning assumptions, engaging your head, and following your heart, you can create a life that is a unique reflection of your true self, where fire and water can indeed coexist in perfect harmony.

3.?Make your Life a Masterpiece:

Please recognise that you only have one life to live, and it is up to you to make it your masterpiece. Embrace the understanding that?you can shape your destiny, define what success means to you, and ultimately determine your happiness.

In a world filled with expectations and external pressures, losing sight of our true desires and aspirations can be easy. We may be bombarded with societal norms and the opinions of others who try to limit our potential. However, deep down, you hold the key to unlocking your true potential and creating a life that resonates with your authentic self.

Consider what truly brings you joy, fulfilment, and a sense of purpose. Reflect on your passions, talents, and dreams buried beneath the weight of doubt and disbelief. Embrace the belief that you can achieve greatness and that your happiness is within your control.

Success should not be defined solely by societal standards or the expectations of others.?Take the time to define what success means to you personally. It could be reaching specific goals, living a life aligned with your values, making a positive impact in the lives of others, or simply finding inner peace and contentment. Trust yourself to set your benchmarks and milestones along the way.

In essence:

• Remember, this is your life to live. Embrace the courage to step outside the boundaries of what others may deem possible for you.
• Embrace the journey of self-discovery, self-belief, and self-empowerment.
• Trust in your abilities, be true to yourself and let your unique light shine brightly.

So, make a commitment to yourself today. Decide that you will no longer allow the limitations imposed upon you by others to define your path. Instead, take charge of your life, make it your best, and create a masterpiece reflecting the essence of who you truly are. Your happiness, success, and fulfilment are waiting to be realised.

In a world where doubts may arise, be true to yourself, reach for the skies. Find your purpose, let it ignite, for you hold the power, shining bright.

Remember, we can defy limitations and create a life that brings us satisfaction and purpose. I challenge you to explore how?fire and water can indeed coexist in perfect harmony.?

Word of Caution to Parents:

It is essential for parents to exercise caution when introducing the concept of 'being true to oneself and pursuing personal desires'?to young and immature children. While it is important for children to develop a sense of individuality and autonomy, it's crucial to recognise that?young minds may not fully comprehend the complexity and consequences of such ideas.

Parents should assess their child's age, maturity level, and capacity to understand the nuances of making independent choices.?If a child is too young or immature to grasp these lessons appropriately, it may be prudent to delay their exposure until they are better equipped to comprehend and apply them responsibly.

Furthermore,?parents must also reflect on their readiness to accept the potential consequences of encouraging their children to follow their own desires. It is important to ensure that parents are prepared to provide guidance, and support, and set appropriate boundaries as their children navigate their paths.

Additionally,?cultural context plays a significant role in shaping our understanding of self-expression and personal desires. Different cultures have varying expectations, values, and norms. It's crucial for parents to consider the cultural context within which their children are growing up and strike a balance between promoting individuality and respecting cultural values and traditions.

In essence, while the concept of being true to oneself and pursuing personal desires are important, parents must exercise mindful discernment.?Assess the readiness of your child, work on your own preparedness to guide them, and consider the cultural context in which these ideas are being introduced. By doing so, parents can create a supportive and nurturing environment that allows their children to grow into authentic individuals while maintaining a sense of responsibility and awareness of the world around them.
