SOUL SEARCHING

There comes a point in life where one must stand still, take a look around and assess where they are and how they got there. Good or bad, self searching in my opinion, is the key to advancing in life. After all the unexamined life is not a life worth living right? To search one's self effectively, one must have the ability to be honest with oneself. One must seek to gain wisdom, understanding into the deepest depths of their innermost being, and be brave enough to look face to face the thoughts, issues, desires that become hidden in and out of time by society's rash demands of the "ideal" person or perhaps they are our own demands of "our ideal person". Whichever the case, we are more than the surface that is our skin and our smile. We are the untold stories written before we came out of our mother's vaginas and the unsung songs sung from the souls of those gone on before us. Who are we? Our destiny was determined before the sperm and the egg even met in agreement to bring forth the unknown. What do we want? Where are we headed? I for one am a HUGE fan of soul searching...do you dare to search your own?
