Realize

There comes a time when all you can do is surrender to life. Let what we call life take us through a journey of self-discovery and self-realization.

Lately, I’ve discovered that I never really trusted my instincts. Due to all the distractions I surround myself with, I wasn’t able to see what I was actually being bombarded with.

Have you ever found yourself wanting something so much but at the same time feeling that it’s not good for you? I know I have many times in my life.

The conflicting feelings, the obvious signs, the willingness to allow yourself to be swept away by lust, greed, anger, envy, gluttony, pride and sloth (the seven deadly sins!) by feeling as little remorse as possible.

These are the few things most of us would find ourselves go through when we know in our hearts and when our instinct is shouting out to us that what we are doing or are about to do isn’t exactly the reality we perceive it to be.

Why don’t we ever trust ourselves enough to trust our instincts? Why do we rather go through life aimlessly, without pride, respect, empathy and priorities? Why do we allow ourselves to be so disillusioned by materialism that we forget what we’re all really capable off greatness and a lot more than we give ourselves credit for?

We always forget that is a reason we’re here on this earth and it is our life’s purpose to figure what the reason is. We are all great and special in our own unique ways. We all have a lot to offer if only we allow ourselves to discover who we really are.

All of us are still on the path of self-discovery and probably will always be as everything changes and nothing ever stays the same. Unfortunately though, there are those out there who are too afraid to see themselves for who they really are. They would rather rot in denial their entire lives.

Self-discovery can be scary especially when you find out things you don’t like about yourself but ultimately, it’s the best gift or opportunity you could ever give yourself to live a more fulfilling life without much regret.

There isn’t anything wrong with discovering your weaknesses and imperfections because you’re going to discover your strengths and talent at the same time. I personally think it’s a win-win situation. After that, all you have to do is to perfect your positives and work on the negatives! But remember it’s a long process and would take time. Have patience! It always works out in the end.Always aim to be the best and never settle for anything less!

Appreciate all you have now and work towards achieving all you want in the future!

But never forget your values, principles and mostly who you really are!
