Imagine a beautiful orange in your hand, glistening in the sun. It smells wonderful, and you can almost taste the refreshing fruit inside. As you start to peel it, you become aware of the protection the hard peel offers, holding the beauty of what is inside.
Interestingly, isn't that what we do in order to protect our ourselves? We hide the brightness and beauty of who we are underneath a ‘peel’ that we build around us. Instead of allowing others to truly know us and all of our vulnerabilities, we only show them the bright colourful parts of ourselves that we think they will approve of.
Don't we all want to connect with others that we care about in a deeper, more meaningful way? Perhaps it is time to let our hard outer shells soften, and let the 'juice', the true essence of ourselves shine.
Next time you hold back from doing or saying something that reflects the truth of who you are, picture that orange and the delicious juice being shared, as the hard exterior is peeled back. Be you juice and all!
