When Digging Deep, Don't Get Stuck in Fear

When people tell you to dig deep, you need to go through a layer or multiple layers of fear before you can find your truth. Digging deep and questioning your personal truth is a learned skill, a muscle that you have to flex and build. 

At first, it is incredibly time-consuming to rethink all of your thought processes. However, if you're able to realize things that are truth versus things that are judgments, you're able to pick up on judgments being held through a filter of faulty perception. This can sometimes be fear and we have to realize that fear is the place where we need to question our belief systems.

Yes, the truth will set you free, as the saying goes, but first you might go down a few blind alleys before you get to the actual truth. Here's an example, I tried to use the filter of what is considered "the right thing to do" before I make decisions. Now that I've gotten used to understanding filters and which ones are based on fear, I realize that what's considered the right thing to do is different for each person.  

I know for me the right thing to do is to supplement my currently limited income. I started looking at job websites, and I was considering jobs that I knew I would've hated, jobs that would've pulled me down into the place where I was completely and totally unhappy. I was talking myself into why I could put up with things that would be bad for me.

Once I started realizing that the right thing to do is to understand the truth of what I love and didn't love, releasing fear, I realized that doing a job I hated was not adhering to my personal truth. In fact, I was using a filter of fear based on trying to gain other people's approval and the filter led me to consider positions that were completely and totally wrong for me. 

Obviously things are different if you're in a situation where minimum-wage makes or breaks your family's ability to pay for a roof over their heads. That's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about finding your personal truth in a situation that isn't a crisis. In this situation, you need to release the filters of fear and find your own personal truth finding a job or making any decision that would enhance rather than detract from your life. The truth will set you free. But it's the fearless truth that is your ultimate goal.

Have a wonderful day.
