Let your emotions show your true potential
What I’ve come to understand is the sheer bravery it takes to truly see ourselves.
For a long time, I was terrified of looking at myself — really looking.
What do I mean by that?
Whenever a feeling arose in me that I judged as negative — fear, anxiety, irritation, anger, shame — I rejected it. I pushed it aside.
Not by accident, but by refusing to let myself feel it.
I was scared of what those emotions said about me.
And it took me time to admit that. Instead, I hid behind spiritual excuses:
“I’ve come far.”
“I know I’m not my feelings.”
“My emotional control is better now.”
All of it… masks. Protectors. Stories.
Today I understand something deeper:
I wasn’t evolved. I wasn’t detached.
I was simply too afraid to see myself fully — and I confused avoidance with growth.
If we looked at our “negative” emotions as children within us — little ones pulling at our sleeve, begging to be seen — we wouldn’t be so quick to push them away.
Would we turn from a crying child?
Would we push away someone we love who comes to us with tears on their face?
No.
So why do we do it to ourselves?
That’s a hard question to ask — and an even harder one to answer.
The path to real authenticity is choosing to face yourself and feel what arises, when it arises.
That is courage.
That is meeting your own darkness.
And once you do, you start to see something unexpected:
your way to the light runs straight through the valleys you’ve spent your life avoiding.
The darkness isn’t the enemy.
It’s the container of your light.
It’s the part of you that invites you to remember who you are — your strength, your depth, your brilliance.
I’m walking this path every day.
And somewhere along the way, I realized that this isn’t just my own journey;
it’s one of my missions in life.
To be an example of what we all are.
To inspire people back to themselves.
Back to their own power.
To remind them of the gift of being alive — and how to shine again.
