How normal it is that we blame others, relationships, money, success or job, because we expect them to make us happy, or, more important, to bring meaning to our lives. The truth is, indeed, we need to seek it inside of us. It is challenging to look inside ourselves, and, to do this introspection which sometimes hurts, we need to have a sincere insight so we can understand what is missing in us. Nobody can tell me why I feel unhappy. I am the only one who lived my life. I am the only one who can see the beginning of it all.
For me, seeking within, although causing me deep sadness, many tears and true emotional suffering, set me free. When I find the origin of something in this inner search for my happiness, my purpose, when I get to the top of the mountain of my quest, I find answers, then, I feel at peace. Understanding myself helps me to accept and love who I truly am.
Somehow, somewhere, in our life we need to start this inner journey through the sweet and dark memories stored in our mind in a quest to find what is our authentic self. Yes, many of us are living a fake self, the self created by the society, family and friends, telling us who we should be, have or behave. It takes courage to fight and be true to our own soul, but is so worthy!
I am still going through my amazing inner journey. I cannot do it alone, so I keep my heart open and sensitive to the presence of the spirit of God who is showing me what I need to see and to let it go. I am in a search to find my authentic self, the one God created me to be. It is a fantastic discovery I invite you to make too. It is real freedom and it is bringing so much meaning to my life.
It is a long voyage, one day at a time, that is slowly giving me a deep sense of purpose to my life.
