As you bring your true self further out telling everyone what’s on your mind, the people who love you, will keep walking with you. This has been the biggest truth I learned this year. But it is a hard thing to do, at first anyways. Until you meet all the other dragon whisperers and your true selves can’t be so easily dismissed. If you are a dragon whisperer you have to stay awake. And this is when knowing your true self is key. Systems are in place to keep the dragon mind from waking up. Underneath the simplicity of our lives, a big dragon is kept asleep. They watch the silly news, some of them believe in a cult-like religion, some don’t believe in anything. People wake up, go to work, come home, have dinner, go to bed and sleep their way to the next day. Wouldn’t you come out and be yourself, and show off your weird ability to push out a new trunk? I bet you would. But what if I told you that you can build a new trunk and you don’t have to hide. Instead, you take yourself down so that your tree is hidden and protected.

You hide the weird thoughts, the strangeness of you so they don’t take you down again. Once you get brought down, you quickly learn that speaking your mind hurts and you lose your preciousness by trying to be like everyone else. When you try to say, write, speak of something that is not just out of the ordinary but outside of their scope, they may shame you. And I am not just talking about the larger world, but the world within your family, your friend group, your workplace, you know the micro cosmos. We live in a world that likes to keep things the same. And since this is the last message in a bottle for 2018, I want to share my 5 dragon truths with you. My dragon self as you will soon find out. This last year I learned so much about publicly being my true self. When they least expect it push out a new trunk but still be the same tree. You have to be like the very old tree, the 10,000 year old. Your sense of self will be questioned many times. Just like I don’t want you to wonder when others try to destroy who you are. One might wonder why would anyone want to destroy the oldest tree? But there are millions of people who would burn it, cut it, and be proud of doing so.ĭon’t ask why. The second oldest tree is nearly 5,000 years old. It pushes the old one out, and the new one comes in. It has the ability to make a new trunk when the old one has died. You must claim your place in the world, and not be shaken or fallen.ĭid you know that the world’s oldest tree is in Sweden and it is nearly 10,000 years old? The oldest tree has a very interesting way of surviving harsh weather conditions. You have to be tree-like, like the trees with huge trunks, that can’t be destroyed in bad weather. A clear picture of who you are, what you stand for.
