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
