Express Yourself

As those closest to me know, I'm constantly learning and working on finding my own brand of spirituality everyday. The same theme follows the idea of most religions. We are all ONE. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. I think this idea scares some people because our ego causes us to hold on tightly to ourselves. We are so attached to who we are on this planet that the idea of leaving and joining up with one collective being causes us to be scared and want to hold on tighter to the idea that we are all alone. But if we surrender and realize that we are part of this other whole, a greater love out there, the roller coaster ride we face in life may not seem so scary.

Some people will read my words and either get it or it may take a few more years for it all to completely sink in. I get it.....I've been there but my awareness has expanded greatly since I've decided to take my ego out of my daily situations and I will not force my beliefs onto anyone. Life is definitely meant to be as a journey. And since we are so attached to the person we are born as then I think it's important to evaluate why. To me, I'm attached to my personality and habits because it clearly expresses who I am, me alone. With every new experience I take in and process, I express myself in a variety of ways following it. Why? Plain and simple..it brings me joy. It brings me joy when I'm writing these thoughts down and knowing someone out there is reading it and appreciating it. So how do you express your individual self? Ask yourself that. What do you present to the world that shows who you are on the inside? If you don't know..take the time to figure it out. It could be in dancing, painting, a certain way of dressing, cooking, or even speaking. You know you're expressing your true self when a bubble of joy forms inside of you. It's that simple. And if it's something another person might call "silly" like coloring in a color book, don't worry about it. It's what makes life so pleasurable, it's why we decided to leave the comfort of the higher being to be born onto this life.
