The Allure of Authenticity by Abby McDonald

There is a “wooing” that occurs within, an allure that draws your TRUE self to emerge. It starts off like a whisper, an attraction, an awareness, an urge to be FREE and then; an insatiable desire to be authentic.

It is often indescribable to your loved ones and occurs at an “inconvenient” time where you evade all previous plans to discover the “Real You”. It will keep you up at night, tossing and turning, questioning all of your beliefs, the people around you, your life in general; it will STIR things up.

The magnetic draw is SO powerful, pulling you home to your Spirit while you shed away what’s behind you. It will bring you down to your knees in prayer even for guidance, and those around you will say it’s a so called “Mid Life” crisis, but it is more than that – it is a Spiritual Awakening.

Your Heart is being “Called” to return home to a place of LOVE.

The allure is mysterious yet familiar, painful yet peaceful, confusing yet purposeful until you finally centre yourself within and align with your “authentic self”. It will bring up pain that is unimaginable; you will feel like an emotional rollercoaster, like you’re losing your mind even but you will not turn back, you will keep moving forward because you know in your heart it is worth it.

You’ve lived your life thus far living an EGO dominated existence, you’ve befriended illusion by creating a false image of yourself to please those around you. You’ve abandoned the essence of who you are as a means to seek validation and acceptance from the world. And although it may have worked for you then, it can no longer serve you nor the world before you.

And so the whisper is a call that becomes louder and louder until you surrender.  Do not be fearful of the seemingly “cataclysmic events” that surround you, for it will even allow crisis to befall you, not to hurt you but to teach you how to HEAR the “still voice” within.

It will isolate you, mold you, teach you, expand you, nurture you, HEAL you & comfort you even while the crowd gets smaller and smaller. For there is work to be done. Your presence and your LIGHT is needed to serve and change the world.

For all of your life, It’s been waiting for you patiently with open arms, lovingly, longing to share it’s infinite wisdom, calling you to return home to your “authentic self”; calling you to live in TRUTH.

And so my question to you is, when it finally knocks on your door, will you be BRAVE and answer the call? Will you trust and be patient with the process? Will you let go of all old beliefs and illusions? Will you surrender to your truth and be led? Will you allow the “real you” to emerge?

If your answer is yes, your freedom awaits.

Much love,

Abby xo
