Who Am I, Really? – Part 1. A Closer Look
April 5, 2018
In a nutshell: Authenticity, Joy, Love, Fulfillment for everyone.
I’m sure you’ve seen it too. The resignation in people’s faces. Or perhaps the loneliness. Or the feeling of being stuck, and the hopelessness that life will ever be any different.
Generally speaking, I’ve had a really great life. Like many, I’ve had my challenges. From gut-wrenching heartbreaks (yep, that was a plural), to not knowing how I was gonna pay my rent or buy lunch the next day, and even feeling totally lost questioning the direction of my life. Everyone goes through their own version of adversity. Luckily, I was able to rise above those circumstances and situations. However, at one point, it became very clear to me that doing life just for me, had lost its thrill.
What is the point of living a life where I have all the material belongings I could want, perfect health, tons of rich, meaningful relationships, and even all the spiritual alignment with God and the universe, if most people around me are suffering?
I could talk plenty about why or how I might have gotten to this point of concerning myself for others, but I don’t think that’s important right now. The point is that I’m here now. And I have accepted that my greatest joy and fulfillment comes from watching and knowing that other people get to experience Love, Joy and Fulfillment in their lives.
If once I die, people have more joy and fulfillment in their lives, and there is more Love in the world because I was here, that’s the most I could ever ask for.
For a long time, I resisted publishing anything. I would ask myself, “Who am I to pretend I know better?” and I would keep all the empowering ideas and beliefs I acquired that were instrumental to my own fulfillment to myself.
The interesting thing is though, that l actually don’t know better. I’m not better than anyone. I have just been very fortunate to come across the ideas, experiences, and mentors that made a big difference for me. And now I’d like to pay it forward.
It’s also worth mentioning that this is a really big deal for me. There’s no greater message that I feel I can contribute to the world than the one that you will find in the pages of this blog. And as such, there was quite a lot I had to confront in order to move forward with it and actually start publishing. I’ve been putting this off for years. And I’ve learned a lot about why we don’t do the things that will bring us the greatest joy. It’s really an invaluable lesson and I will be discussing it in one of the next few upcoming posts.
I’m excited for this journey that we’re both in, you and I. I hope this message of Love is of service to you. I would also love to hear from you, so please feel free to shoot me an email or drop a comment. Have a love filled day! See you next week!
