Life is a wonderful journey and lesson. As we get older, we mature in ways that we recognize immediately and over time. Throughout life, we may revel in feeling smart because of book sense – like we are the one-and-only “know-it-all,” or we may revel in a hormone-filled phase of life whereby we feel our “street sense” makes us invincible. Some of us feel “holier than thou,” because of reveling in a new-found spiritual sense. All of these can be viewed by any one person as morally correct, or mind-boggling ignorance. However, through my journey of life, I believe that I have experienced all 3. Currently, my state-of-mind has allowed me to appreciate the diversity of people’s experiences and mind-sets. During this phase of my life, I am learning more and more about myself. As a matter-of-fact, I am amazed by the outlook that seems to penetrate my thoughts. My soul was drained from a lack of emotional and mental food, but God restored it with a reconnection with the dearest parts of my family. With this reconnection, I was able to talk about my deepest regrets, finest obstacles and achievements, philosophical views, and future personal and professional goals and aspirations. The 6-hour + reconnection was a pivotal and “soul-food” reconnection! Through it, I was able to EMBRACE MY AUTHENTIC SELF with a depth that resembles the deepest, darkest, coolest, most peaceful parts of the ocean. Through this reconnection, I believe that I am embarking upon the highest level of wisdom!
What about you? Do you believe that you have reached the point of embracing your authentic self?
