#20: On Keeping Secrets (and the freedom that comes from releasing them and finding peace)

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how damaging secrets can be, with a focus on those personal secrets we keep, hidden out of  shame, embarrassment, fear of judgement.  Secrets come from fear, and in hiding them, you may be suppressing or denying the event that happened.  But your secrets are not you - YOU are not your secrets.  It may have happened, or you may have done something you may now regret, and whether big or small, it is not you.  I share my thoughts on how life's journey may have some similar experiences, but our trajectories are different, and our lives do not need to take the shape or image of anyone else's. Indeed, they shouldn't.  The events that happen to us, or that we may cause, are part of our life journey, part of the lessons we need to learn to bring us the wisdom to grow and find ourselves, our truth.  The duality of happiness and pain, is necessary for growth.    In learning to become AWARE of what you are hiding, and seeing it as an observer, but not as part of you (because what happens to you is NOT you!), you can gain a better perspective about it, and find yourself on the path to releasing the strains it has placed on you.  Thanks for Listening!I appreciate you taking the time to listen.  If you enjoy it, please follow the show,  and review it.
