Although the phrase "Stay True" may seem like a simple enough idea, it is admittedly a tad vague. My version of staying true is not betraying who you are. There are many who are constantly yearning to reinvent themselves and go to great lengths to do so. But what ends up happening? The same thing which happened to myself every time we moved and I tried a transformation - you end up reverting back to your intrinsic nature.
However there are forces at work that will change you without you even knowing. And I'm not talking about us naturally evolving through our experiences which doesn't constitute betraying yourself since our experiences do help shape who we are to become. I'm talking about a huge influx of money, a cutthroat occupation or some other environmental force we let in and before we know it we're treating people differently, acquiring undesirable traits and basically ceasing who we were, almost completely.
Resisting temptation, being loyal to your core values and preventing the knowing or unknowing action of sabotaging yourself at all costs. These, in my humble opinion, are the principle ideals of staying true. If we were all to truly "stay true" there would never be any regrets and our ratio for passing life's little tests would be much improved.
Until next time...
"Our spirit, individual and singularly powerful has the potential to be so relentless in our pursuits that we can make more of a difference than we can possibly imagine"
