You will bloom in the right soil…

During the week I found myself in a situation where I felt so out of place, even though I was myself, I constantly felt people wanted to outshine me, not listen to my ideas and kind of be in their own world, disregarding who I am and what I can do and contribute. Surely I do not think it was on purpose, and I do not want to make things about me, but it felt almost too natural of them to be so self-absorbed and so condescending. Today I was at my best friends kitchen tea, and once again just being myself, my efforts, although not even deliberate, were acknowledged, my natural self was enjoyed and loved and everyone was inspired instead of feeling that they had to make an effort to put me down. Interesting that being exactly the same person in different environments – where one environment is so obsessed with making sure that I know that they are amazing, which I know, but do not suppress – can make me feel so insignificant, because of their own world that they are functioning in, and in a different environment my gift of inspiration is taken, not as a threat but an inspiration, as was intended. In both cases – in any case – always just be yourself, that is all that is expected of you! To be true, noble and yourself, so that whatever the reaction of people, you are still aligned with His will.
