Self-discovery

 Self-discovery


If you wish to leave an impact on others, you must discover what you are here for. Everyone has a calling, a reason to live everyday. Sometimes self-discovery takes years, or decades, but once you reach it, you can finally impact others the way you were created to. Discovering yourself is not easy, however. You will experience many crucial moments in life before you realize what it is that you are meant to do. It requires being in tune with what is happening around you and that stems from emotional awareness.

What is emotional awareness? Simply put, emotional awareness is understanding how others may interpret a moment or situation. The way something makes you feel may be completely different than how it makes somebody else feel. Once you realize that, life seems to become easier and things make more sense. You have to embrace the fact that you are not always right. You have to be willing to learn from your mistakes. Most of all, you must be vulnerable.


Vulnerability is the best way to open your mind to new situations and the easiest path to feeling strong, intense emotion. Yes, it may lead to pain, but it may lead to pure euphoria. The more intense emotion you feel, the stronger the connections in your amygdala become. The better your memory is. Your memories become lucid. 


Take time to discover yourself, but be open to new experiences. The deeper your self-discovery is, the more of an impact you are able to leave on others. Your life will become more memorable and you will feel like there is a true purpose. Work on yourself, and share your gifts with all who are around you.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...
