Idealism: The Pretend Adult vs The Real Adult Within

Good Morning/Afternoon/ Evening to everyone no matter where you are in the world! So today's blog post is something a few have struggled with or still are. Society has define being an adult based on a drinking age, smoking age, when you can get a student loan by yourself and of course my favorite an age where you can finally rent a car! Anywho, this ideal will and can have some confusion depending on the situation that comes up or currently taking place. However, what I am focusing on is the "pretend adult" the world often sees verses the "real adult" that is contain within. So to take a closer look into defining what idealism is: "consists of ideas and that the ultimate reality of something exists in consciousness. One form of idealism states that the universe is better represented as existing in a form of idea rather than physical matter." So let that sink in for a moment. So the point of being an adult is that it only exists through the consciousness and it rather not be physical. Next thing that came through was

"looking the part but not playing the part." Spirit bought to my attention is this- that many people love the idea of being an adult but when it comes time to handle adult things would rather not. Well we know individuals that will state" I'm grown or I am an adult." My answer to that is simply this " Are you trying to convince yourself or me? " At times with this respond it is met with an attitude and therefore the person provides not only a knee jerk reaction but an emotional response as well. They are not using the logical sense to comprehend what is being said but I am quite sure that many of us have experience this a dozen times over. There is more to adulting then just paying bills, staying out late etc. It speaks more of the level of maturity and a certain level of balance. What I mean by the pretend adult is simply this- playing a role for a day, week, month etc. that can give you a distorted reality of what it means to handle certain people, places and things. In other words, you handle difficult situations as a pretend adult with kid gloves on. To become easily distracted from certain unpleasant things it hinders more than help you progress. There is a false sense of self-acceptance and an intolerable behavior that your spirit deals with and will try to correct whatever it is. So if your feeling aggravated- stop and asking why? What am I failing to address? Continue to ask yourself questions and dig.

However, the real adult that is within you is just waiting for you to make a clearing! To get over that cycle of " dressing up in mom or dad's clothes so to speak! To accept and embrace what is off internally so it can be address spiritually and manifest physically. One thing that I did come across is having emotional intelligence ( look it up when you have time!) It is simply being able to address those unpleasant with a clear conscious and able to embrace the solutions that have always been there. Speak with words that you have already tasted and safe to say. Like they say " it's not about what you said/say but how you said/say it!" To take it another step further, the pretend adult is just the child that in some form or another just wants to be acknowledge whereas the real adult within has made peace with those things.

So your assignment if you chose to accept is this: think back to a time where you had to be the pretend adult in a real adult situation. What was the cause? What was the outcome? How different did you or didn't you feel?

On that note continue to live in the light, be kind to yourself and others and as always remember to #LiveLifePositive
