“A life of introspection”

“What we perceive, especially about ourselves, is almost always a reflection of something that is going on deep within us. The key to a happy life is to always be on a path of self-discovery and personal awareness.” - Tadayoshi Inoue

There will probably never be a day when I wake up and say “I want nothing more, I am completely fulfilled.” I would like to think that someday I will feel this way about my life, but the truth is I always want more. I always want to improve and become more than I was the day before.

So I have accepted that my life is a process and not about getting somewhere specific. I realize that I will get to very specific places in my life, but that isn’t the reason why I do all that I do. I want a life filled with the feelings of excitement, love, joy and deep connection with others. 

Looking into my life what I see is a cornucopia of wonderful experiences, and experiences that didn’t feel so good too. But they all made me who I am today. And I love where I am and who I am today. I am not perfect nor am I  done by any means, but I am very happy with how things are going. 

So when I look at my life. I try not to see what I have to do. I try not to look at what I would like to become. Instead, I look at what I get to do. I sit back and say so often these days, “Wow, look at what I get to do and who I get to do it with!” This is my life. It is a life I fully own and I am appreciating it more and more each day. 

I deeply hope that you find a perspective that allows you this kind of personal peace and satisfaction. Because I know that I am not that different than anyone else. Am I special? No more special than you are. But I know where to place my attention and I know how to speak to myself. And I am willing to receive all of the love and joy this life is begging to offer me. 

Thank you universe. I am love. I am joy. I am so very good. And so are each one of you.
