"Connections and Why They Matter"
Most of what happens in our life will spark a connection. Life connects with what has been found in books. Books connect with what happens in life. Use the connections to help you see more clearly. A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
In order to uncover who we are and why we act the way we do, we have to know our own story. This points us towards ourselves because it is our history and experiences that hold the answers.
If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know what you really want.
This requires that you are brave enough to explore your past because it is an important stepping stone on the road to understanding ourselves and becoming who we want to be.
It isn’t just the things that happened to us that define who we become, but how much we’ve made sense of and our conclusions about what’s happened to us. Unresolved traumas from our history inform the ways we act today. Studies have shown that life story coherence results in a “statistically significant relationship to psychological well-being.”
If we have a “coherent narrative” of our lives, the better able we are to make mindful, conscious decisions in our present that represent our true selves.
Find yourself out by asking who you are
“Do not let the roles you play in life make you forget who you are.”
Each day that passes adds to the image you see when you want to find out who you really are. Your goal should be to be able to find the real person in the mirror. Let reality reflect back but then recognize that it is good.
PS: Maybe the tiger thinks he is a kitten starring out from where he is?
