Your life and times – the grand exploration of self.

Hello to all and welcome to the blog,

I awoke this morning with the thought that perhaps life is simply an opportunity to explore.

An exploration of self.

An exploration of how that “self” interacts with its surroundings.

An exploration of what it means to be alive.

So my question today is simply to ask – what have you recently discovered about yourself?

If you had to write a list right now, what would pop into your head? For it seems to me that it is a constant updating of information. A constant flowing of ideas. A constant discovery and re-calibrating of who we are and how we perceive we fit in, to the grander scheme of things.

So grab a pencil and a sheet of paper and pose that question to yourself: what have I recently discovered about myself?

It could  be you have discovered that you do not enjoy a certain activity anymore that you once loved?

It may be that you have discovered that you love cooking?

It may be that you have rediscovered a passion for travel?

Perhaps you have rediscovered the delights of time out to read a good book?

Maybe you have recently become very cranky – or maybe you have noticed your mood to be more calm and even?

Maybe your social interests have changed somewhat?

It could be anything – there is no right or wrong, or good or bad. You are just observing yourself, from the outside in, with absolutely no judgement, expectation or criticism.

So – just sit quietly and write your list.

The question again was simply:  What have I recently discovered about myself?

And then when you have finished – just reread that list and really take it in.

And now the question is simply this:

How can these re-discovered aspects of yourself  - your ever changing and evolving self –  impact your future decisions as you go through your daily life?

How can these realisations enable you to move to who and/or where you want to be?

As you stretch and grow and move in new directions, how can you accommodate these little ” self discoveries”?

How can you allow yourself to grow and change and honour the lessons you learn when you participate fully in this rather grand exploration of self.

It really is the most exciting thing to realise that all we really need to do on the Planet is discover who we are and then share it with those around us. How truly wonderful.

I believe that every day truly is a gift.

The gift of the opportunity to get to know yourself better.

Whatever experiences come your way, they are all an opportunity to learn, rediscover and tweak who you are and how you exist within the dynamic of this wonderful Universe.

It is all an opportunity to get to know You.

And what an elaborate playground we have been given to set out on this discovery mission each and every day. With untold possibilities, interactions and experiences on our doorsteps. Other actors on our stage, to set up every situation imaginable to maximise the opportunity to learn. The expected, the unexpected, the fascinating and the unbelievable.

Every moment seems to exist in perfect simplicity to get you where you need to go.

And where you are heading is simply to …….You!

It really is the most exciting journey of all – and what’s even better is that it lasts a lifetime and beyond.

So enjoy.
