What defines you? Are you your job, your hobbies, your house, your friends and family? Are you what you do and what you own? Can one be rated based on the characters of friends and family? What about beliefs and values- isn't one's philosophy heavily influenced by the overall environment and upbringing? What if that philosophy was no longer your truth? Would you still remain you?
What would one find stripped away of all the previously held beliefs and economical and political systems that one relied upon? Perhaps, this could be the moment when one could get a glimpse at the true essence of his soul…
We come into this world alone, carrying no material possessions and will leave it all behind when we go. As the soul advances further on its evolution, what remains from this lifetime? The lessons we learn, the feelings we feel and the events that touch our hearts, the undertakings that change and push us forward in one way or another- these are the things of value on the soul's journey.
Perception is the core of our underlying reality. Try to see life as an experience, as a way to learn and advance. There's no failure, just gained knowledge, advancement and growth. This perception eliminates the fear of failure- you can't lose, you can only win or learn. Wisdom cannot be obtained in exchange for material possessions. Knowledge is acquired through experiences and events that cause us to feel, think and act.
Every soul comes into existence with desire to grow, evolve and express its true essence, its signature, in a new way. Each person carries something exceptionally unique and extraordinary. The goal is to uncover and find that inner spark, uncover that true essence deep within and, once discerned, be able to know, understand and hold on to it with confidence. This is the key to personal magic.
