Are You Being True To Yourself? The Sixth Beatitude

Are you being true to yourself? It’s a loaded question . . . and if the answer is “I’m not sure,” that’s normal. In your busy life, it’s easy —and completely human!—to feel pulled in dozens of different directions, from romantic relationships and family dynamics to your job and your creative dreams.

But if you get bogged down by the demands of daily life and it leads you to stray from the center of your heart, you can lose sight of your true self. And when you lose your true self, your connection with the Divine also suffers. This is because your experience of the sacred, and your connection to God starts within your own heart—and the path to realigning yourself with that “true self” you’re called to be, it begins with connecting to your most authentic, sincere self. Your soul. It all begins with you.

If that feels like an overwhelming task, then the good news is you don’t have to walk this path alone. Thousands of spiritual seekers and mystics have walked this path before you. We can look to the wisdom of the sixth Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.” Through exploration and understanding of this Beatitude, you can sift through the distractions and demands of your life, and tap into what’s truly important to you. You can strengthen your connection to the Divine by finding where the spirit of your heart truly lies.
