Duplicity

This CHOOSEDAY is about duplicity.

Not an easy one, but one that I feel needs to be acknowledged all the same. What is duplicity I hear you ask? Well, basically being two-faced, being dishonest, total hypocrisy, complete manipulation, amongst other things… All variations on a theme!

We naturally have trust and belief that people are kind and honest and want the best and care for us, especially when friendships and relationships are formed. We want to see the best in people and believe that, in turn, they have our best interests at heart.

When this turns out to not be the case however, unfortunately, it can take a while to realise we are being duped! Small signs creep in, but we ignore the signs believing that “they would never do that, they are our friend”. We hear things that have been said to others and we think “they must be mistaken”. Sometimes we can even think we are going mad! But slowly and surely the realisation washes over us, our intuition kicks in, and we just know that things are not what they seem to be.

When this happens, I think the most important thing to acknowledge is that none of it is our fault. We can drive ourselves crazy going over in our mind what did we do, why is this happening, how can this happen?

But in the end, we need to let the emotion go. Forgive, and send it back to source with love. It is not the case that we need to understand the why’s and wherefore’s. We should just acknowledge and be grateful for the lesson. Trust the process and let the law of the universe decide the outcome for the highest good. And finally, give ourselves credit for the strength we had to take that step back and really trust our intuition, when some would try to make us doubt it🐉💚
