In October, we celebrate our GOD given gift of Enthusiasm! October is also the month of masks and costumes. It is the time that folks are intentional about disguising themselves. On Halloween, folks go enthusiastically seeking treats and avoiding tricks. What about the other eleven months? Or even the other thirty days in October when we wear masks, why? What are we disguising? What do we want to hide? Are we ashamed of who we are? Do we have so many doubts and fears about our worthiness? The most important question is, “Do we even know what we are or why we are?
Perhaps we have forgotten about our Powers, our origin, and our purpose? The irony is we are hiding that which is not REAL as we hide our TRUTH from ourselves. We are tricking ourselves as we leave our powerful “treats” unused.
As spiritual beings, we took on human bodies to experience soul growth and expanded awareness of what we are and what is already ours. When we arrived on earth, we came with so many “treats,” all of our Creator’s Powers, Faith, Love, Strength and so many more to be able to live enthusiastically.
So let’s stop disguising our phenomenal treats. Let’s stop putting our Truth under the masks of fear, doubt, unforgiveness, jealousy, low self-esteem and other illusory costumes. Let’s just treat ourselves using our Powers to enthusiastically live the lives that we desire and deserve!
