Based on my book, "Letting Go of Good," endorsed by Caroline Myss, Dr. Larry Dossey and others, today we are going to talk about the difference between being good and being real. Since the time when we were toddlers we've heard "Be good" from our parents. Even was they waved us off to college, with tears in their eyes, they gave us the same tired advice, "Be good." But first, being good is a dubious concept, since what is good to one is not so good to another. Further, there are many ways in which we think we are being good, by following all of the dictates of society for duty, obligation, loyalty, should, have to, ought to but we are also filled with a sense of meaninglessness or even resentment. So, is any of that genuine. Regardless of how it looks to others, and even to ourselves, being good can be done from very insincere motivations. Further, people who are always striving to be good as a method of gaining or maintaining a sense of worthiness are often taken advantage of by controllig and even abusive people. Sometimes that idea means we are not using skills such as intuition and discernment. So, tune in today and let's find out how to stop being good and start being real.
