Break the labels, free
that person you are!
We live in a world of normalization and rationalization. A world in
which everything, every person and every event, bears a label or even several
at a time.
And they sometimes turn into a weight that becomes difficult to carry to advance. But time has come to undermine this system and regain the freedom to be ourselves!
What is a label?
I consider labels as indicators of who we are. A label is put in place to define a key element emerging from a situation or a person's behavior. They sometimes come from childhood and continue to spread throughout our lives! And we all know this process of labeling...: "This child is disobedient, impatient and savage" or "you are sentimental", "you are a mathematician but not a literary"... Etc...
It is these little phrases, opinions, or judgments that rank us in a category. As if it were absolutely necessary to mark each individual in order to better understand him and to better position ourselves in front of him. Our current society offers us this model of operation. It divides and organizes individualities by grouping them into categories defined by selected labels. Is this the right method...? It is in any case on the basis of this model that we develop on our way of life.
The power of a label.
We all wear labels sometimes even without realizing it. They accompany us at every moment and influence our actions and our thoughts. Becoming aware of their power is a first step in understanding how they intervene on who we are. They have infinite power! A label is a vibration in the skin that contains our energy and paints us of a certain color. A label is a channel of energy that shapes our thoughts and beliefs unconsciously and continuously.
As a result, a label influences and sometimes redefines who we are. Labels act like energetic magnets: they attract, mobilize and transform our basic energy. Finally a label brings us to what it says and closes the door to all the other potentials that we possess. If I am defined as impatient, I cannot be patient and maybe because of this, I will not be patient.

Focusing on our potential
When we accept a label, for
ourselves or for others, we no longer give value to our potential. We close a
door on a universe of possibilities. Yet we have multiple resources within us.
In order for these resources to be expressed, we must let them to be able to
exist. To put one label on another person or on ourselves is to close ourselves
to the powerful energy field of life.
To detach ourselves from our
labels is to open the door to our true being. It is giving ourselves the
opportunity to be within all of our dimensions. It is being able to finally develop
to meeting the most truthful of us and to understand what that really means. We
are beings of immeasurable wealth. Don’t you doubt it!
By becoming aware of the power of
these labels that circulate constantly in and around us, we can regain our
freedom of being. Moreover, we can offer one other the best gift it is given to
us: be it without limitations. We have the ability to see things in their
entirety. We have the ability to see other beings in their entirety. We have
the ability to open many doors with our inner light and achieve all of our
potential. We have a choice.
We evolve at every moment
We are in the process of constant
evolution. No matter what path we take, we change and we transform ourselves
through our life experiences. The labels we wear can slow us down, prevent us
from fully living our way or even deform it. But above all, the beauty of our
existence lies in the surprise of life and our ability to transform ourselves.
A label will frozen us. However, we are not fixed beings. These labels do not
need to accompany us. Lets create our new skin and get rid of that which is no
longer needed!
Reform with kindness
Pay close attention to how we
talk about ourselves and talk about others. We are not what we say and we are
not what is said of us. All these labels that spread through speech can
disappear or be dissolved by the magic of our benevolence (honesty). Say; “I am
not stubborn, I can express my convictions forcefully. I am not sentimental, I
like to be carried by my emotions throughout my life”.
Finding out
potential and our own resources
I suggest revisiting these labels that make up our current personality. Take a sheet of paper to write down each of these labels, words or images that accompany us. Stay spontaneous and have no limitations. We may see that the list could be long! When everything that appears has poured out in that list, for each of the points on the list, just put in a situation in which not to answer to the label mentioned. If we question the label, and ask ¿Are we impatient? We need to go back to our life history and look at an event for which we have been patient to change that label.
Than, we will be able to see that these labels are not fair and that they cannot define us any longer. It is here that our inventiveness will have a place: what other resources, qualities or potentials do we have and can express? So say per example: I am not impatient since I know how to be patient. I have patience with myself. I am able to wait, to remain calm and so on.
