You can have a big career AND be a great mother. You can want more AND be grateful for your success…You are a layered, complex creature. You are more than one thing
Mel Robbins
I would like to add a few more – we my be heartless AND be tender. We may be selfish AND be selfless. We may think we are good people AND at the same time think we are bad…
But when we are our trueselves, we are comfortable being all these complexities. We are calm and just know everything is happening the right way.
Unconsciously, there are times when we had a glimpse of our trueselves.
Some of my personal experiences when I did get a glimpse of my trueself –
Recently, a piglet was being attacked by a pack of dogs right in front of our house. The dogs were very ferocious. Within seconds I assessed the scene, went straight to the fence and made a loud sound. The moment I reached the fence, three dogs left the piglet except one. And the last dog left it when I made the sound. The piglet ran and escaped unharmed. Within those few seconds when I was assessing, I analysed that the fence can protect me if the dogs came to attack me. I also realised that the piglet was not bleeding and can escape if I intervened then. But something in me shifted that made me so confident and brave. And the dogs just simply left the piglet.
There was another incident. A baby squirrel was lying on the ground of our garden. And our garden is frequently visited by cats. So, I didn’t want to leave the baby alone and brought it into the home. My mom and I thought it cannot survive. But anyways, we started giving it milk. Its eyes were stilled closed and it slept all the time. After two days, I alone had to give it milk with a syringe just making sure I do everything for it to survive. Surprisingly, it survived. It thrived under our care. I didn’t mind anything it did, let it bite, pooh. During this time I realised what unconditional love is. I learnt it from my squirrel. It showed me that I too can get and give such love when I was actually thinking that it was impossible for anyone to love the other so fully in this busy world. It is no more with us. May its soul rest in peace.
When we are in love or in a horrible situation or someone says something to you that you just shift and become someone so entirely in form.
That is the true you! A powerful, gentle, caring, loving, brave, confident, down-to-earth, resourceful, intelligent, creative, selfless…so on…
Trust the beauty that exists within you!

The next post will be a further elaboration of this concept on how to consciously bring this side of us to the surface.
Have a blissful day! Thank You!
