The truths we tell ourselves

Isn't it funny the things we tell ourselves are "truths."

It's our own form of denial but it's safe, it's a world we know and ultimately we control. We tell ourselves we deserve this or that and we cope, we deal, we survive in our bubble of truths....but what are we really hiding from? When do we look in the mirror and like what we see?

Too often we all fall victim to living an unintended life. We are surrounded by well meaning friends, family even careers, and even though things seem right at the time, over the years the gloss and glamour somehow wares thin and we become embroiled in the endless mundane tasks of every day life. Suddenly you wake up one day wondering how you got to where you are, why are you living the way you are and really wondering why you feel like you have missed out on something bigger, something more meaningful.

All of a sudden the puzzle of your life you've been building has all these holes in it, all these missing corners and you have to find the the pieces. Are there always missing pieces? Do we ever get to see the entire picture? Do we want to?

The reality is we each need to find the missing pieces, to discover our own truths. It's hard to do. In order to do this we have to admit to ourselves our own limitations, our vulnerabilities, weaknesses and then be willing to make necessary positive life-altering changes.

Who is ready for that? Isn't it easier to live in our own pool of truth? Challenges become opportunities.....do we have time for new opportunities?

I had a conversation with some friends about living a past life. I really do believe that our souls have experienced things before. They are a part of us and are here to help us learn, teach, guide.....to just be something bigger than just us, than just this moment we are in. There is a bigger meaning/purpose behind who we are and who our life paths cross. I think we are here to learn lessons that we ignored in another lifetime and now it’s our chance to make things right, maybe even to restore our soul's good virtue?

Maybe we need to acquire greater knowledge and wisdom that our soul craves in order to move onto the next step? According to the Law of Attraction:

what is attracted to you is also given out and soon everything around you vibrates with a higher, purer resonance that creates transformation, unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness, as well as unconditional healing. And on it goes - you create the domino effect, thus raising the overall global and universal consciousness level.

So when do we begin telling ourselves the real truth? When do we decide to empower ourselves and hear what we have closed our ears to?

When do we begin to search and find the missing pieces of our own puzzle?
