Hidden

The interesting thing about human beings is that most of us hide. We hide our beauty, love, intelligence and talent because we are terribly afraid. We are afraid of being who we really are. We are attracted to darkness and reject the light.

Why? Because it is safe.

It is safe to be to be ugly, to be tied down, to live in scarcity, to be unhappy, to be unsuccessful and to have no joy in our lives. It is safe not to be loved. 

If we are ugly we have an excuse for not being wanted. If we are tied down we have an excuse for not being able to live the life we want to live. If we live in scarcity we have an excuse not being able to afford what we want to have. If we are unhappy we have an excuse not being able to take the steps that would change our lives. If we are unsuccessful we have an excuse not being able to do the things we want to do and have no responsibility. If we have no joy in our lives we have an excuse for being depressed. If we are not loved we do not have to be afraid to get hurt.

We have an excuse to live a small life instead of living our full potential. We have an excuse not to put ourselves out in the world to live a full life with all its beauty and challenges. There is no excitement but also nothing to fear. There are no risks but also nothing to loose.

We are safe.
