You are not alone

I remember the first time I had that'' you are not alone'' feeling. I stared deep into their eyes and  I felt a sense of familiarity and belongingness  spring forth . It sent shivers throughout my entire body. As we grow up we tend to believe that our brokenness is wrong, that it is unwelcome here. When the truth is our brokenness sets us free. Just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. What ever is breaking you today is paving the way for the new improved you to come into existence.

Embrace your story, your not so perfect is absolutely perfect in the eyes of the divine . The thing is we get so wrapped up comparing ourselves to others and that in itself is an act of hatred of self ,we forget that we too are valued and loved . We sometimes forget that while  the  path is working for you and it's probably the right way for you that you need not have reason to prove it to another. You ought to trust it . A warrior who trusts his path sees no need to prove the other wrong . When you live your truest truth the opinions of others do not matter nor do you concern yourself with forcing  people to do it your way or to see it the way you see it. When you begin to pester people about doing things your way you are not living your truest truth. If that is the case for you get back to the drawing board and start again . When you live your truth, you do not ask people to follow you, people will be drawn to you. That's the subtle difference that makes all the difference . Living your truth draws people to you ! Now this may not happen instantly but for those who live their truest truth being who they are is enough and they trust that in time people might come around but that is not the ultimate objective . Ultimately its about sharing your story, owning your scars, loving all of you and having the courage to  be who you really are.

I am here to let you know that what ever you are going through, someone has gone through it , hell probably I have gone through it too. We need to remind ourselves throughout our struggle that although our paths may be different, there will be threads of commonality among them. When we embrace that  fact we can come to better terms with ourselves and our view of the world. Many times when we are struggling we think we are alone in this, we feel ashamed, guilty or just down right burdened. When in fact  that is not the case. Sharing your story sets you free, it allows for the healing to begin. Now mind you I am not saying that you should ever use your story as your permanent voice over but use it to your advantage. When we play our broken story on repeat we play the victim and not the victor. Who do you want to be? So many times we get caught up in the wrongs that someone else did to us we forget that each person no matter how difficult has something to teach us. So what are you being taught today? How can you raise above it? Who can you confide in that will help you overcome this?

True Happiness vs Fake Happiness

We live in this world of instant gratification, where we think that the pursuit of pleasure is the way to happiness. Now is that right? How can a fleeting sensation provide one with lasting happiness, eventually to keep the ''happiness'' flowing you will have to continuously press that same button over and over with more intensity each time because you crave that ''something more'', which causes addiction. ''Fake happiness'' is impulse driven, it is of the body or ego so to say. It does not occur in moderation, because our souls crave meaning and fulfilment, it is often characterised by a lack of judgement, lack of moderation and a lack of concern for  the consequences after the fact.

A pleasure seeking life  provides only a fleeting sensation of happiness. Which means you will constantly have to seek ''your pleasure''. A pleasure focused life prioritises money, fame, status, beauty, the shiny jewellery, the awesome clothes, cars  and lust. Where as true happiness focuses on being healthy, self-connected love and getting to know each  person underneath it all. The soul suffers when you force it to live superficially . The soul craves the beautifully complex ,simple and yet deep experiences in life.Generally speaking, happy people are the vulnerable ones and the grateful ones because well, you cannot connect to people without being vulnerable and without gratitude the door way to abundance is closed. In turn, expressing how you really feel in kind words not only releases your troubles but when you communicate your truth you give others the space to do the same. Even if the other person does not return the favour, you were true to you and that's all that really matters. Not everyone can handle honesty.

True and lasting happiness is growth driven and so there will be a delay in the timing it takes to feel that happiness but once you do it is eternal. True happiness is about the soul and the recognition that it needs people, situations and adversity to grow into your highest calling. Maybe your times are challenging because of your high calling. Dig deeper and raise above it! To be truly happy you have got to do things that inspire you, grow and heal your soul. Love and embrace the flow of life. Set your soul on fire!
