Find Yourself
Are you wondering how to go about finding yourself? Or wondering how you got lost in the first place and forgot who you really are?
Life and its distractions have a way of making us lose sight of ourselves and who we truly are.
It is easy to get caught up in all the distractions of life, the clothes that need mending, the food that needs to get on the table, the work that lies ahead of you tomorrow.
All the responsibilities of your life surround you and tempt you into to thinking they are the most important things of your life. And if you let them, they will take over your life, and you will spend it serving them, instead of the other way around.
One day follows another, and lately the weeks and months are starting to blur together. Looking back, you could see you were starting to use things to get you by until the weekend, or the next major holiday.
Your favourite TV shows were becoming a ritual of how to spend your nights after dinner and before bedtime. You counted down the days till the release of your next favourite movie, the anticipated publication of a book or the release date for the next piece of technology you wanted.

You think you have lost control of your life.
You are not alone. All of us fall asleep at the wheel of our own life, unless we have a burning passion that keeps us awake and alert to what is really going on around us. But few even realize that they have fallen under the spell of a Pied Piper that draws them away from the path they were meant to follow and has them fall asleep so they forget who they really are and why they are here.
"So what should we do? If we want to wake back up and reclaim our lives? How do we do that?"
The answer is simple, but it is not as easy as you think. You set your feet on another path every time you set in motion a cause that takes you where you want to go.
A thought, an emotion, an action ... each sets up a chain of events and takes you life in a different direction. To get started, just use your intuition.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
