Who are you..really?

I ask this question this morning to have us all take a deeper, longer look inward.
What do you love? What do abhor? I find that when I really take time out to ask myself I sometimes come up with answers I didn't know existed. Often I discover much of what I thought I didn't like or I thought I loved was an indoctrinated thought implanted at much earlier age.

To no fault of their own, when we are children asking a million and one questions, adults shape and mold our view of the world. Sometimes with that power they unknowingly push us towards a belief that is of their own and not a usable fact.

I say use today to shed those beliefs that are not your own. You deserve to only have YOUR baggage in tow, not the belongings of those who have had the pleasure of knowing you.

Sacrifice

It is through enduring personal sacrifice and surrendering your ego's ambitions that faith is attained. Your will is surrendered and becomes aligned to the will of God. The goal is to return to your authentic nature and recreate yourself in the image of your highest potential. You must be willing to sacrifice what you are for what you can become.

Patience

I have no idea...my fingers just pushed the buttons and out came P A T I E N C E. Many times throughout my life I've wanted to rush to the good part. I've wanted the dessert before I could really be done with the meal. I wanted to know the ending before understanding the beginning and some times I'd anticipate the punch line before all the details of the joke are even told.

So when I type Patience, it's not meant for you, it's meant to remind me. Now if you can use that today, by all means go right ahead. But for me it means stopping to breath and understanding that living in each moment will bring more happiness than guessing what the outcome will be and rushing through it.

Silence

The more I live the more I understand what I like and what I don't and well I must say it's liberating to know the difference. What I do like is silence.

Growing up I was a latch-key kid living as the only child in my household.  I always felt the need to have the tv on to keep the apartment from being so damn silent. I wanted to feel like I wasn't alone and adding the noise of a television seem to give me that feeling that I was surrounded by life. If it wasn't the tv then it was the radio but something had to be going or else the mood just wasn't right.

I guess it took a whole lot of unwanted noise throughout my life to understand the true meaning of silence and what it means for one's peace of mind. Now I enjoy every moment of silence I can find as if it were something to be cherished..and it is. I am never bored, with every moment I find something to do,think or write. But in silence is where I find ME waiting patiently to be heard.

Quiet the world, you deserve to be heard by YOU.

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
