It took a lot of courage to step into my authentic self and embrace her.  For over 40 years I only knew how to be who you wanted me to be and during that time I completely lost myself. I felt unworthy, I felt like I would never be truly happy, although from the outside looking in, it looked like I had everything.   My life up to that point had been shaped by my ancestral patterning and programs. Our parents repeat what they learn from their parents and their parents do the same. This is how we form our core beliefs and sense of self, but often we don't realize that all of it was formed by wounded people passing down their unhealthy patterns, it's just normal to us.    I was never taught how to hold space for myself, and by that I mean I was not able to express my feelings because that was discouraged.  Being sensitive was discouraged because it meant you were weak and vulnerable and we don't do vulnerability in our Asian Culture. When you're vulnerable the opponent can use that against you and take you down meaning you LOSE! Asians are all about winning, striving, being "successful" there is nothing prized more than monetary "success" that's the golden ticket.  I had to be shaken and stirred by certain life events to wake up and realize I wasn't being my authentic self and learn how to figure out who I am. This has been a journey that led me to not only finding myself but also my life purpose as an Ascension Coach (guide), healer, podcast host and more. I learned it's OK to be vulnerable and go deep and hold space for those wounds to seep out and heal. It's the only way to become whole and complete. You can't bypass the feeling part of it. Humans are meant to feel their feelings.  We are here to learn to master our emotional selves and come into alignment with our mind body and soul.  I wrote a book called "Finding the Path of Me" as a guide for others trying to find themselves. Copy the link here to buy: https://books2read.com/finding-the-path-of-me  It's time to stop playing this ludicrous game and own and claim who we are, to find our purpose and have the courage to be the person we have come here to be. Release the social programming and judgment.  Become the person you were born to be!
