Set out to find yourself.

Everyday we are surrounded by so many people.  Our family, friends, co-workers and many more. We value their opinions and listen to what they have to say.  We compare our lives and might sometimes feel dissatisfaction in our own.  We like what others like or so it seems.  But who are we really?  What do we truly like? What gifts do we have to offer the world?  What traits do we withhold out of fear of being different?

I would say about 40 was the age I truly began to feel who I was and I found I was very different in many ways from the life I was living.  This took some getting used to.  I had to change many things in my life.  A experience in my life opened up a whole new world that I could have just said was too different from the person I was and chose not to live it and breath it.  I chose to live it.  I feel I know more about who I am and what I really stand for.  Sometimes we want to be like everyone else, but yet we know there is so much more.  Being part of the mass consciousness can be very hard at times. Hard to focus on our own path.

Spending time alone and seeking the wisdom within is a great way to start connecting to who you really are.  The truth can sometimes surprise you.  It can change everything about you.   The foods you eat, the people you hang out with and the way you spend your precious time.  You will most likely feel more content as you become more comfortable in your own skin.

You notice more around you.  You feel no need to judge someone else's journey.  You feel love like never before because it is coming from within you.  You now see that seeking love outside instead of inside was a no-win situation.  When you fall in love with life; it falls in love with you.

You come to find that in relationships that you can still be YOU.  Your joys can still be experienced even if it is different from your partner.  Our differences are what keep our relationships interesting and fun.   Allowing each the time to explore and feel adventurous and feel that way together too.  You don't change everything about you to become something someone else wants you to be or someone else you believe they want you to be.  Don't stop living the life you love to be what you think someone else wants.  Your authentic self is enough.

Once you are comfortable with who you are you can never go back.  It just feels too good.  You love more, you play more, you just feel so connected.  Your joy is infectious and everyone around you can feel it.  You might even be worried that you feel so much joy that surely it can't last, but it can; perception is everything.  Sure life will have its peaks and valleys, but you get to choose how you react to it.  If you look at life as if everything contains a message, something you can gain, then you can swiftly move through the difficult patches.  Enjoy each and every moment.  Let go and surrender to all that is and who you truly are.
