Finding Self
Topic: Spirituality
Finding Self is a process, a journey, a path filled with challenges and moments of enlightenment.

Over one's years of life Self has become buried with labels, with experiences, with observations and comments, and with intentions.

Through experiences we might have come to see ourselves as "shy", but as we peel back the label we may see that this "shyness" came from an early childhood experience and is not truly part of one's Self.

We may think of ourselves as being a parent or a photographer, but again these are labels not characteristics of Self.

Discovering Self is about looking behind the labels, peeling back the layers of time and behind the "self-awareness" that we have achieved through our experiences, in order to reach "Self-awareness", discovering the inner traits, inner passions, and inner peace.

I am me - connected to all through energies but separate from all through my uniqueness. I am more than my parents, more than my childhood experiences, more than my social relationships and interactions, more than my education, more than my hobbies, and more than my career.

To be true to myself, I must find myself, I must recognize and acknowledge who I am and walk my journey, follow my life path in an effort to live according to who I am. Living through my inner passions, following by inner beliefs, talents, and natural gifts I will find my inner peace and the world will benefit.
