Who I Am – Authenticity

Authentic from Soul Essentials

There is a moth bumbling about my living room as I write.  I left the door by my desk open just a crack so the dog could let himself back in after his evening foray into the woods and instead this poor lost moth came in  – seeking the light.

In many ways we are kindred spirits, this moth and I, bumbling through life seeking always seeking.  For years I sought my identity in things and people outside myself.  The things – food, alcohol, drugs – left a larger hole within me every time I tried to make them my source.  The people never wanted to have that kind of power in my life anyway.  But through my errors I have, thankfully, found my way to Who I Am. Trial and error, one bumbling step at a time there has been healing and re-creation.  Turns out I had the solution deep down within myself all along.  The Divine in me calling me home to myself.  The more I try and tune in to that still small voice deep within me the more I discover that it is where peace and deep joy reside.

The good news is that, once I find something I can usually find my way back to it.  Once I stopped looking for my light and truth in things outside myself my journey became more purpose full. I am meant to be Who I Am – and so are you.  By shining our authentic light into the world we liberate others to do the same – encourage, inspire, and challenge.  Who We Are is the greatest gift we have to give – celebrate your authentic self today!
