Let Me be My Self

Great Greetings :-)

I started the day today reading through my e-mail.  One of the emails I missed from yesterday lead me to the video of Shrek and the song “Let Me Be Myself” sung by 3 Doors Down.  What an awesome song, what an awesome movie, what an awesome combination.


We are moving towards people accepting others as they are, but many people are still hiding who they really are from themselves.  As a child the phrase: Relax, Release, Let Go came to me and when it did – it saved my life … literally.  I had been hanging on to a submerged log in a fast moving river, and I didn’t know how to swim.

Those words came to me like a warm blanket on a cold night … Relax … Release … Let Go and know it is alright.  My friend shrieking from shore, told me afterward that she was totally amazed I drifted against the current and ended up in a thicket of tree roots about 10 feet below where she stood.  The phrase relax, release, let go has stayed with me all these years.

It wasn’t until the past few years the … and know it is alright, part was remembered.  I feel the Relax, release, let go and know it is alright joined with the Let Me Be My Self are another perfect combination and as Shrek shows we don’t have to be the prefect prince or the beautiful princess to be the awesome wonder in which we are.

It takes all kinds to make the world the place it is to be … so Relax, Release, Let Go and Know It Is Alright – Let Me Be My Self … That is said from Myself to My Self … If everyone gave themselves permission to BE who they are, we will get to where we are going very much quicker.  When we allow ourselves to be who we are our gifts each of us have are allowed to open and begin to be utilized much like the seeds of future flowers are contained inside the heart of every bud, BUT if the bud is not allowed to open and show it’s true colors, the seeds are lost ….

So the Goal Buzz for today is Be Authentic – Be who YOU are – accept others for who THEY are – and let’s all stop trying to categorize people into who we think they should be or how they should act.  If all the colors in the crayon box were the same color, and all the building the same style and all the roads only went one way … yucky poo-poo :-P
