Who I am is who I always was. I have been him since I was born and I will be him until I die. Yet I thought it was necessary for me to go looking for him outside of myself. I’ve looked in some very interesting places. I’ve tried to find him in sex only to end up drained. I’ve tried to find him in religion only to end up feeling confused. I’ve tried to find him in alcohol only to end up drunk. I’ve tried to find him in books only to end up full of knowledge. I’ve tried to find him in fashion only to end up broke. I’ve tried to find him in women only to end up bewildered.
I never knew that the him that I was looking for was always present within. I never knew that the most high of who I Am lie dormant inside of me. There is so much around me to help shield me from myself. Why? If I am ever to discover the magnificent me that I am then this illusory world around me crumbles instantly. There’s a buffer that exists between the magnificent me and the wretched me. This buffer appears to be my safety net but it is this very net that keeps me ensnared from my true self.
The true self is coiled patiently in a bud waiting to blossom. It witnesses me running a muck like a chicken with a removed head. It wonders why I refuse to look into the corridor that is closest to me and that shines the brightest. It’s perplexed as to why I don’t tap into my God given talents, abilities and strengths. Although the true self is patient it becomes painful the true self to watch me as I totally overlook my own magnificence and power.
It’s the ultimate game of hide and seek because its the last place that most us look. In fact, most of us never look because we are too busy occupying ourselves with frivolous endeavors. We have purpose that we know not. We have power that we harness not. We have vision that we see not. We have spoken words of guidance that we hear not. We have wisdom that we discover not. We are a walking acres of diamonds that we mine not.
We risk nothing. We question nothing. We become nothing. We are children masquerading as adults. We are adults who play childish games. We treat our lives as if we are to be the one who we are now forever. We hide from our true selves because we seek safety and comfort without realizing these qualities of life are myths.
Know thyself is not revolutionary. Have the courage to find out who you really are and owning it is. There will always be a void in life until you make it your mission in life to reach for highest possible daily.
That’s my spin on it.
