The Shadow...

Machine translation.

Hello,

The shadow, that aspect of ourselves we all try to hide, even from ourselves. The shadow, the dark side we carry within us that prevents us from loving ourselves as we truly are.
This hidden side that influences our behaviors and most of our reactions:

  • Hiding the truth for fear of losing face.
  • Saying yes to someone when you think no, out of fear of frustrating them.
  • Manipulating one's entourage
  • Not admitting to an act and letting the other person bear the consequences.

The shadow side is what diverts us from what we truly want in life; it controls a very large part of our subconscious. It is what often brings about what we fear. It is also what prevents you from being authentic. If you do not love yourself, it is the main culprit. You have a very powerful enemy within you, and it is poisoning your life. Face it and turn it around. Make it your greatest ally, and every aspect of your life will be greatly improved.

Have a good day

Great advice, Mary!

Let us learn to love even our flaws. Let us not cast them into the shadows; they are an integral part of who we are. Let us live in the light.
On the other hand, it is the hidden part, the part in the shadow, that by contrast makes us appreciate the illuminated part even more.
The negative and the positive, both are inseparable and part of the whole. Day and night, masculine and feminine, good and evil, etc…

Friendship
