Having the light within us is like a magnet that draws us closer to our destinies. The existential beingness within is the creation of the world’s unfragmented constant of developing our characters to become the people we are meant to be. Life is the plane that gives us meaning in diversity. Life as we know it, brings into our existence the realities we face every day, and if we allow the wave of life to guide our motives and thoughts, we can be in alignment of our truth.
This is the story of my reflections about life, and the marvelous adventures that set my mind free. As a young girl who grew up in a suburban area, and I was faced with a lot of loneliness, and challenges that eventually enabled me to alter my thinking, and emerged as a warrior of life.
I was a very intuitive young girl, when I realised that making friends and fitting into society were the two things that always brought me misery, and so I was determined to begin to chart my own life path. I was an individual. I had a strong will and desire not to waste my life away, with people who only criticised my character. I made the conscious decision that this blessing of living happens only once, and sooner than later, we all have to decide and choose in favour of our own best self, and make the decisions that can enable us to live a happier and more fulfilled life in this existence. I wanted to make the most out of my life.
I observed society from a distance. I saw how many people were swayed into new radical thought, and formed groups that would further influence their thinking, and friends who would convince them to think in the way they all did. I saw a lot of injustices happen, and I resolved that I wasn’t going to submit to the will of the majority, but rather I would go it alone in this world, leading my life as I envisioned it.
I came up with activities that further enhanced MY quality of life. I made art, and music, and this brought me much happiness and appreciation of the universe as a whole. I wasn’t the kind of person to engage a lot in society, but I treated everyone with respect, and this helped me to become one of the most pleasant people to be around.
Then one day, I noticed that the world had begun to change. The good men, became more sceptical about the direction that society was going. As I was evolving within himself, the great purpose for which led me to a solitary existence. I was talented, and created each day, and made it a masterpiece. I did not want to be persuaded into blending in with the rest of the society I was living in who were very judgemental of others.
I then made it my mission in life to rehearse every day the qualities that transformed my attitude to become broader and more appreciative of the good things I could see in society. I cleared my confusion by being able to see the spirit in the heart of every man and woman, and child. I was focusing on the perception that is of the nature of man.
I became detached towards the contradictions and stereotypes of society. I begun to tap into MY energy field, the life force and source that comes from developing the inner strength within. I lived for the moments that brought peace and happiness to MY life and soul.
