♥ Being Yourself and Love Part 4 ♥

♥ I was shocked to discover
♥ Getting to know me
♥ We all want the same things

I was shocked to discover and I finally had to admit to myself that I didn’t want a career for myself; I wanted to work from home and searched for a job I could do from here, I wanted to be at home. I love being a homemaker, cleaning, cooking, working outdoors, and being on my own doing my own thing, a stay at home job was ideal for me. Every job I ever had, I jeopardized in one way or another because I kept going against what I wanted for myself in life. Once I finally admitted what I really wanted and started going with the flow, life became a whole lot easier. I had to give up wanting nice things for myself and had to stop believing what society told me I had to have to be a real person. Having the best clothes, a beautiful home full of fancy furniture and all of the rest of it didn’t have anything to do with who I am, I realized I was happy with a whole lot less and it didn’t diminish me in any way what so ever. Once I realized material things didn’t make me happy I started to find ways to allow myself to go with the flow. I always knew when I was going the right direction because I didn’t have to fight every step of the way anymore. Now I am in a place that I love, the universe has blessed me for recognizing and accepting me for whom and what I am. There are still some things that need to happen before I am completely free, however, I believe it is just a matter of time before that happens.

Getting to know me also helped me to know and to understand others. The faults I saw in others, I saw in me, the beauty I saw in others I saw in me, the more reflections I saw, the easier it became to love me and to love others. I now treat people like I want to be treated, and I have learned to develop a sense of humility knowing that I am no more nor no less than anyone else.

We all want the same things – to be healthy, happy and free – we just need different things to accomplish those things. I was also able to see what I needed to change about myself and what –in- the end, was just fine about me. I can now accept my weaknesses and my strengths. I am now more able to love and to be loved, where once I was afraid to love because I was afraid of being hurt, I now love because I know that if things don’t work out- it is all for a reason. I may get hurt, however, I will heal and I will gain more knowledge about myself and life in the process. I now know I have to go with the flow. I have also learned that it is in the times of greatest pain and in times of darkness that I learn the most about myself and when I become a stronger person. It has helped me to discover my purpose in life, to be the best I can be and to finally, be me. Not by somebody else’s standards, but by my own.
