Turning "XV Self-Hatred" into Self-Definition and Living to the Beat of Your Own Drum

Slept well until I'm guessing around 5:00am then I tossed and turned until the alarm serenaded us.  Last night we had dinner out as a friend dropped by for a visit and it too late to be making dinner.

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is “XV Self-Hatred: The trap to avoid for all minorities.  Unconsciously accepting societal norms.  Low self-esteem."

"Unconsciously accepting societal norms" can cause us a lot of heartache and pain because we try to fit into something that has been labelled normal but normal for who and who defines what is normal?  We do not all have fit into neat little tidy boxes or have nice little labels affixed to our person so that people know what category we belong.  We're individuals and should be treated as such.  What works for me might not work for you and that should be okay.  We all have our own thoughts, ideas, opinions, dreams and aspirations and we all should be respectful of one another.
Differences are not a bad thing and why do we all need to be "normal".  Normal for who?  A relationship is a great example of how people can get along and be different at the same time.  For example, my partner is a scientist and I am not.  I like all matters of spiritual things, believe in cosmic energy that connects us all, believe in the power of Spirit, believe in the guidance of Tarot, believe that people can communicate with the Spirit world and much more...my partner not so much.  But we still get along and I Tarot Cards and other spiritual things all around our place.  One thing we do not do is label one another and we do our best not to label others as well.  We have our own likes and dislikes and do our best to take part in each other's likings...movies, art, travel, places to visit.

Let go of trying to fit into categories or finding the right label to place upon yourself.  Do your best to be you and do not let other people define who you are.  Define yourself and yet at the same time be flexible enough and allow that definition to evolve over time as you grow and mature and develop as a person as you journey through life and interact with the thousands of people likely to cross your path.

Thank You Spirit.
