AWAKENING TO TRUTH
“It doesn’t interest me what
you do for a living. …I want to know what you ache for, and if
you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.”
-- Oriah Mountain

For most
of my life, I longed to know what my heart longed for. I didn’t
have a clue about who I was and what really mattered to me. But
I am now sensing my essence more and more clearly.
How?
Through self-awareness.
With
vigilance, I have begun to watch my every action and reaction
for clues about my nature. I continually remind myself to tune
in to how I feel as I move through my day. My emotions and my
body speak to me all the time about the longings and delights of
my heart. I just have to pay attention!

“We don’t always know what
makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think should. We are
baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail.... We
are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences,
delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is
often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of
other people’s expectations. The tongue of the original self is
the language of the heart.”
