Truth Seeker and Story Teller
Rick We look for answers
to the mysterious questions of life.
But then we stop
when the soul is ready to answer.
Accept the truth
that waits for you in your heart.
Fear not the spiritual
and you’ll find the answers you need.
Live what you find
and connect with the spirit in others.
We talk of journeys, in search of discoveries. But what is the deep desire that forces the first step?
Are you on your life’s journey? The one you want to be on? Be truthful. Are you living your authentic life or are you hiding it, afraid of what others might think?
When you need inspiration, look to your dreams and so something – anything – that comes from the heart.
Far too often we allow ourselves to feel hopeless about where we are in life and what we’re doing. We wish to be doing something else and be someone else. We want to be spectacular and make a difference.
Allow your convictions to name who you are, how others know you, and how you live your life.
Do we spend enough time reflecting on “conviction? I don’t. Yet this seems to be at the core of what we need to do with our lives. Knowing our convictions sets the course of our lives.
I think we get too wishy-washy with this and by ignoring it we ignore the very core of who we are. It strikes me that convictions come from the heart, from what we essentially are or should be. And we need to live from these.
Be positive in each moment. Change yourself. Change the world.
How many times do we rip ourselves apart with our own negative self-talk? We continually sabotage ourselves, the positive steps we want to make to improve ourselves and improve our lives. We put ourselves into these downward spirals of defeat and it gets harder and harder to lift ourselves up.
Give this some thought: one small positive step, anything, will begin the journey back to our healthy self. Don’t make the step hard. Choose one thing that helps; often it’s by helping one person with something they need. Look out – not in.
A young adult’s spark, that dream they have, is too often blown out by society’s expectations.
We look back and remember the dreams of our youth. All the things we wanted to do and accomplish. Maybe we did some of them and for sure we didn’t do all of them. But our dreams knew no bounds.
How do we choose when we don’t know where we want to go because we don’t know why?
Yes, we want to go somewhere. No, we don’t need a map. Wrong. Not only do you need the map but you had to decide first why you were going somewhere.
Why don’t we map out our own self-discovery as well?
Believe that you are enough. You belong here. Your life matters. Your inner critic is wrong.
I think that one of the saddest things for most of us, me included, is that we think we’re not enough, that we’re not worthy. I don’t know how many times I’ve read in various comments sections that, when asked, people admit to not “being good enough.”
