YOUR HAIR PREFERENCES AND LIFE LESSONS FROM THE MASTERS

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are y'all doing today? I hope y'all are having an amazing day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life! Today is a beautiful day!

My hair is just what it is "hair!" It has nothing whatsoever to do with who I am and what I decide to pursue. Choosing to braid my hair or go bald has no effect whatsoever on my wellbeing. I have seen many a woman, who is convinced that her beauty and relationships are influenced by her hairstyle. These areas of your life are only influenced by your hairstyle choice as long as you let them. If you have subconsciously accepted yourself performing certain tasks or enjoying certain relationships in a certain way, only when you have a certain type of hair (long, short, straight, afro, curly, kinky, weave or braids), then that's exactly what you get.

Our lives in the physical plain are the concepts we've accepted from our internal voice or subtle suggestions of others. Your identify or concept of yourself has been strongly influenced by an accumulation of concepts from daily lives, families, backgrounds and societies we've been a part of.

You may ask how this has anything to do with your hair. Here's the connection; your hairstyle is your choice. Don't spend hours thinking about how differently people will respond were you to cut your hair or grow it. Were you to wear a weave or braid your hair. Were you to go natural or straighten your hair with a chemical. It's all up to you at the end of the day. It's important you know this.

Your beauty is inevitable and undeniable. Beauty is you! Your outward appearance and masks, can't add to or take away from your beauty. This is for my sisters thinking that beauty is one thing and usually physical described by a hairstyle, length or texture.

Back to being bald😍

No snowflake is the same intrinsically. Your preference for hair shouldn't be influenced by your perceived reactions from people. Life is a play. We all take on different characters depending on the scene and situation presented. You are the central character. Don't live it being an extra in your own show!

If you're feeling like chopping off your hair, do it! Don't overthink it or worry about it. If you don't like it, wear a wig or grow your hair but make sure you have fun because it is that easy. Most people suffer immense psychological pain because of the fear of what might happen and this is usually worse than what actually happens. Don't let fear control your life. Make your decisions as though there was nothing at stake. Be free in your heart from judgements from people. Most people are in a prison that they created for themselves. Life is constantly changing. Getting a new hairstyle when you feel like it, shouldn't be such an ordeal my sister.

Throwback to 3 months ago!

The superstition that hair makes a woman beautiful is not correct. You are beautiful because you are beautiful. All women are beautiful. All people are beautiful. We have freewill to choose what we prefer to express. I consciously want to make choices that I want, not choices someone suggests, whether intentionally or not. Life is meant to be lived being your authentic self. This concept changes as you go through the stream of life too. However, live each moment consciously by being in the moment and taking responsibility for every decision and action you make and take respectively.

I have been studying the materials and discourses of many masters and teachers from the Hamalayans and the more I study, the more I learn about myself and the more I understand about the universe. One of the most profound things I have understood is that we are beautiful! This beauty can not and should not be in comparison to what someone else looks like or what has been defined as beauty by society. Society is an illusion. Don't live your life based off of an illusion. Look within my sister!
Sister, your hair is not that serious. If you want to experiment with different styles, don't let anything stop you! You go girl!

My own journey has been different. My hair has never really been a big deal for me. I could grow it like I did recently or go bald. I like simplicity and don't like spending time combing my hair and styling it. The easier choice for me is to go bald. You know what works for you. Are you the type that likes to spend 30-60 minutes styling your hair? I can assure you that I am not! Determine your answer and make sure it is not influenced by other people's unrealistic expectations. You're beautiful regardless! That's your true SELF!

I hope you've enjoyed this reading.
I'm sending you a lot of love and light!
Merry Christmas!
