One of the most painful types of conflict is also the easiest conflict to avoid. It is the conflict you have with yourself.
When the person inside is in conflict with the person you are on the outside, it drains your energy and damages your credibility. Yet in an instant, you can be rid of that conflict.
All you have to do is be completely honest about who you are. Drop the pretense, and you rid yourself of a heavy burden.
Stop pretending to be someone you're not. For even if you could manage to be convincing at it, you would gain nothing of real value.
That real value lives in the authentic person you are. In your sincere and deeply felt passions you will find life's most delightful and fulfilling treasures.
There's no need to live in conflict with yourself for even one moment longer. Let the true you shine through, and fulfill the wonderful possibilities that are uniquely yours.

its the external pressures thatforce ppl to mask up and be someone they are not...many times its to be accepted by peers and fit into the norms even...
sometimes this conflict is just not only a matter of honesty and dishonesty......
this conflict is like chess game which is played by only one player therefore there will be no win.
I have a feeling this had to do with my blog entry. If it was, thank you.
While what you said was true, sometimes, the mask is not something that you put on just to "fit in" or because of the pressure. No. It's what you becme when you're constantly being moulded into a person and being harassed for who you are at an early age. Then when you try to "improve" yourself at an early age onwards, you sort of "become" the mask, yet are at cnflict with yourself because you dn't know who you are.
Thanks for this post though. Means a lot.
my dear dear dearest BoogieMonster,
you are a darling and darlings are naturals.
