Who are you! 5-29-16
Can you image your whole as life not knowing yourself? It a
strange thought to walking around and never truly knowing who you are. You come
into this world knowing that you’re different. You feel it will entire being
that you walk in to a dream of sorts. You silently question the why that make
up your family, the things that happen to you or the way people interact with
each other. Never really understanding why people say or do what they doing. The
bible says to know yourself, what does that really mean. Does it mean you
question everything that life offers you! Does is it mean that to understand
yourself you need to dig deep into your soul to understand that your human in
form. That your boy or girl and that we see each other differently.
Or that we have emotions and feeling that play at us daily
with the dealing of life. Are you supposed to know what make you happy and all
your dislike of the world? Are we really who we think we are or is a creation of
mind. Is there a unique goal to life, or are we just here to exist and create
life, death and birth of the experience. We come to points in our lives that
things make sense, life is good and then there are times when life just does
not. We set goal after goals that we put in motion and as hard as we try, they
seem to slide through our fingers and not fully understanding the why’s to what
happen.
We all come in with expectation of living a life of wonder
and achieving great things for ourselves. Living from our personal mission to experiencing
life. We face extremes of personality and look for balance in the uncertainly
of life. We do are best to bring life to our journey here, yet the more we try
and do, the less it feels real. We move about a day going, doing and planning
events that need to get done. Yet, if you are not doing by society standard
that’s not much to speak of. We gotten so far out of touch with nature and
people that we just walking around not enjoying being here. Many people have
memories of such experience that it’s difficult to see a world that places
things over the moments over connections.
Work has become that new title of our lives. The things that
we consumer fills the holes, instead of looking for the connection to life or
ourselves. How many people do you know that are just like yourself. You live
the same life, in the same house, and travel the same path in life. What about
the rest of the world and the people who inhabit it. What if you stepped out of
bubble that your call your life. What would it look like? What would you see?
See we are all on this beautiful journey called life and we forgotten that life
existed outside of the doing. Many times when we were small and younger we
dreamed of life outside of our knowing, we dreamt of adventure and connection
to the wonders that life could offer us. Not all experience were what we
expectation, but they impressed that there is much more then we could possible
realize.
We always looking for something to fill us, to be much more
then we can possibly imagine. If you had to ask what the hole is? Where is it?
What does it want from you and how do you fill it? Many times were looking for
other things to fill it. It could money, love, relationships and success, but
it really you it’s looking for. As the song states “Who are you?” do you really
know you or are living out what others want for you. Are doing or are listening
to yourself, are living a life of passion from your heart. We tend to pretend
that there is not two side to us and that we singular in form. If you ask a
children who they are they will tell you exactly who they are. If ask the
parent they may tell you a different story because they have seen both side of
the coin, so to speak.
Ask any parents from any generation they have the same
expectation for their children, from the moment they are born to passing of
their life. Yet listening to ourselves has fallen much to the waist side and we
walk around pretending that it does not affect us, yet it impacts all of us, as
a whole. If you look at any natural or man-made disaster it does not just impact
that area in which it took place, it ripples out across the planet affecting
far more than just the incident at hand. So why is that we don’t listen to ourselves
that we don’t think who we are and we have stop listening to our heart.
Think for moment who are you, what are your beliefs and your
challenges – who help your become you or who are you really. From your mother
to your death, your had others to help you become you. Did they help define you
or hind you? If you had the opportunity to stand before yourself, what would
tell yourself about you? So the question remains “who are you”? Are you sum of
parts or is just “I”.
I dedicate this to all the men and women who conscious
choose to protective us, and not realizing the impact that it would have on
their experience on life, and the value of the human experience. Happy Memorial Day!
