HJ: You are perfect just as you are.  There is nothing that you need, there are only things you need remove to reveal more of who you truly are. One of the main purposes of this life is to discover the gift of who we are and give it to the world fully, in all of our brilliance.  Who you are is enough.  Your gifts are enough.  Go out, be bold, be you.

Stop Trying to Fit In and Start Embracing Your True Self

By Jess Stuart | Tiny Buddha | Inspire Your Life

“Don’t change so people will like you; be yourself and the right people will love you.” ~Unknown

I’ve always felt the pressure to fit in. There’s always been a gap between what I want to be and what I think the world thinks I should be.

It’s the cultivation of years of hard work and patience conducted by Artist and Syracuse University professor, Sam Van Aken. He is responsible for creating an absolute wonder – a tree that bears 40 different kinds of fruit, achieved by harnessing an ancient technique called “chip grafting.”

The blooms of this magnificent tree are breathtaking enough, with hot pink, white, purple, and fuchsia bursting forth every spring and summer season like an Andy Warhol painting on steroids.

What is even more fascinating is that the tree preserves many heirloom varieties of stone fruit, from peaches to nectarines, and even almonds! All on the same tree!

Utilizing what Aken calls “sculpture through grafting,” he says that “I can design and essentially sculpt a tree and how it blooms.”

There is so much change happening around us and in our lives at this time. It is important to understand that it is no surprise so many of us are feeling drained and tired. As the Earth is going through its changes, our bodies are also shifting on all levels. This can increase the stress on our systems causing us to feel exhausted. You may be finding it hard to sleep despite the fact that you are so tired, or finding it hard to wake up, feeling as if you have not slept at all! According to Celia Fenn, “Archangel Michael explains that there are three different processes that cause the fatigue. These are emotional body cleansing, detoxification of physical and subtle bodies, and the development of our multifunctional consciousness.”

From our first breath until our last, most of us will be on the hunt for a mind-altering, insanely intense love experience that will save us from the doldrums of life on earth. Typically we are seeking for consummation with the understanding that we might have to search for a while until we find “the one” to make our life complete. For what is our purpose in life without love?

Most of our search will be spent trying to find a permanent fix through material means, with sex at the top of the list as the way to solidify our “special relationship.” But our first clue that sex is not the cement of any relationship should be obvious with the current divorce rate parked at nearly 40 percent.
