The Discovery
The Discovery
Got on a train, without destination, didn’t know where I wanted to go. In a bid to change my life into something new, perhaps something others wouldn’t know...
Why are we so afraid to be the best that we can be? Is discovery some kind of sin? What we’ve already done, doesn’t need redoing; transformation begins within.
More questions than answers at first it seems; as I plumb the depths of my very being. Getting to know one’s self is an unknown path in what ‘you’ really find most appealing.
Questions rolled into more questions; bewilderment at first can leave one aloof; But joy in life is there for those who command it: it begins with an inner truth…
'Please yourself' in order to best please others, don’t present what they best want to see. Happiness is found in being yourself; not as a harlequin copy of me.
Embrace the contradictions; don’t hide behind the given; Seek out the undiscovered borders, don’t create an invisible prison.
Confidence comes from knowing yourself, shaping your own destiny. The worst that can happen, the very worst, is finding you might be content 'just as me'.
Surrender complete to what gives you delight; find that elusive star. But you won’t need to jump on a run-away train, the answer is right there where you are.
Only by letting go… fearlessly… and then falling to your feet. Will you find that: within yourself is all that you need to be complete.
A paradox though, it must be stated, as a lot of people say: the greatest joy is in the many little things, they already do ...each and every day.
