“Openness brings you freedom. Openness allows you to create joy, and openness allows you to create or find or access the help you need to create your ultimate life. “ - Kellan Fluckiger

What you are about to learn:
I will connect this topic to a statement I made for myself and sharing this with my clients, now to you.
PTAC- my Personal Truth And Commitment document I created. I find it sensible to connect this to the topic today about openness because openness is one of the keys to or ways, whatever you want to put it. To achieve my PTAC goal, as I mentioned in my previous Podcast episodes. PTAC is simply the declaration of WHOM I WANT TO BE IN THE WORLD.
Openness as part of my ultimate life. Why? Would you believe that once you become secretive, reserve, and hidden, the more it is challenging to achieve your goal to serve others with your divine gifts?
What if they knew? - This is a question most of us ask ourselves. Some of us are raised in a family where secrets are practiced. Secret, confidential, and forbidden. We are used to a culture that everything must be kept from the public or to anyone from that matter. The idea of it's all private, you keep your secret stuff, private seems not favorable to me in healing myself or others. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that you should go out and tell people or whomever you encounter today all of your secrets or problems. That is not helpful, that is not what I meant. Let me put it this way, that feeling of you - afraid that people might not accept who you are because of what they will discover of you. That fear that you might be disallowed, avoided, disinvited by people because of your past or secret. The truth is, we all struggle with a feeling of inadequacy. That feeling leads us to have worked views about failure. But, if we are open, this leads us to share and help others by setting yourself as an example to others struggling like the way you fought before.
What is, IS? - Instead of allowing or asking yourself what is, regardless of the situation, ask yourself this “Given what is, what do you wish to create?”. I read a poem called The Man in the Glass that was written in 1934 by Dale Wimbrow. It talks about being honest with yourself, and no matter how you hide, when you look up in the mirror, you know who you are. You know what you’ve done, and you know whether or not you are in integrity, you being the person that you purport to be. Then if you’re not, the only left to you is sadness, fear, and pain.
Freedom Joy and Health from Openness - When I started to be open about my life to those who needed help. I began to have this feeling of happiness, independence, and democracy. I was freed from the sense of fear and inadequacy. I no longer suffer the thought of “I’m not good enough.” By doing so, by sharing with others what I have gone through in my life. The feeling of Joy perceived in me because I was able to help others. I was immediately unfettered from that the secrecy the cloak and the garb of secrecy, the chains of hiding stuff.
Key Takeaways
“We all struggle with feelings of inadequacy. That feeling of inadequacy leads us to have worked views about failure. If we fail at something or don't do it right or well, we feel not good enough.”
“The freedom that comes from being open, allows you to bring all of your creativity and love and power to bear to change, whatever things you'd like to have different.”
“Being open, including those things, you decide you want to change. You get to access freedom and power that you do not have if you're hiding.”
