Lesson 26 -
Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that really isn’t you.
What’s my purpose? Who am I? What career should I have?
From birth we start ticking off a checklist to life that the world has created, (career, marriage, family, house, etc.) believing once completed we’ll experience true happiness. We are expected to have it all mapped out by the time we are 18. We spend so long thinking about the future that we forget the present.
There is more to life than a checklist! Life is confusing, it’s spinning many plates whilst anticipating what comes next. But how many of us can truly say that we know?
Confusion is no bad thing. Life’s uncertainty is to be embraced, it’s how we learn and grow. We can’t possibly have it all figured out. That takes time.
So, embrace fhe fool in you. The one who takes too many chances, feels too much, wins sometimes and loses often, hurts and gets hurt, loves and hates, laughs and cries. Befriend your perfections and your imperfections, only then will you be able to discover the true happiness within you.
If you want to learn your path in life, discover the present you, not the future you. Cherish who you are, not what the world says you should be. The rest will follow.
My 26th lesson is, maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that really isn’t you.
