Learn how to speak your truth in a personal retreat.
In this arena of consciousness, I hear some people say they didn’t say something to someone because they didn’t want to hurt their feelings. If we go deeper into this, we might realize that we didn’t speak our truth because of the reaction we might get from the person we are speaking our truth to. Yes of course we don’t want to hurt any ones feelings maliciously and I don’t think that would be most people’s intentions. However there are a few people with very vindictive egos who might want to retaliate.
If you are a fairly conscious being and your intention is not to hurt someone, is withholding your truth to protect them, really for their own good? First of all, you are never responsible for anyone’s hurt feelings even if you are being malicious. If they are feeling upset by something you say, they should go inside themselves and look at what their storyline is and what old belief is active at that moment.
If you feel like you are protecting them from getting hurt, maybe you are robbing them of a learning to heal that old wound. This is how we heal! We heal by getting triggered and if someone is withholding to save us; are they really saving us?
I was having a conversation with someone and they said, “They want to be a blessing in everyone’s life.” I get it, so do I, but not speaking my truth to them isn’t being a blessing in their life, it’s robbing them of an opportunity to grow. It may also be buying into my old belief of being responsible for others or that I can’t speak my truth. I believe if I do what’s for my higher learning it will always be best for the other party. It might not feel like it to them, because they get triggered, but ultimately they have a choice to look at themselves, do their healing or blame and be a victim.
We don’t ever want to get in the way and become an obstacle for some ones healing and our own. Speak you truth, if this triggers them, that’s great because they have an opportunity to go deep inside and really look at what their ego mind is saying. When we say we want to be a blessing in people’s life, this is how we do it. We are authentic and speak our truth and if they get triggered, it’s their responsibility to go inside and heal.
Protecting someone from getting hurt isn’t really protecting, is it? Maybe it’s you that needs the healing to know that how they react, isn’t about you at all!
