They say patience is a virtue. I believe it’s a lesson my soul is here to learn. It seems that every day situations are thrown at me and I am faced with a choice: keep my patience or lose it. I’m not always the best at being patient but I’m working on it and getting better at it because I believe that each little inconvenience is an opportunity to practice patience and work towards learning a valuable life lesson. Every time I succeed and every time I fail, I smile because I’m learning.
The truth is my soul is tired. Since I was very young I’ve known that I’ve lived before. For no reason I have felt that I’m tired and I want to get it right this time so I don’t have to come back. Imagine thinking that at 10 years old. I have no clue where that came from and then one day I read a book “Many Lives Many Masters” and the reason behind that thought became very clear. We have all lived before and we will all live again through the various planes. Through various stages in my life, I have felt very strongly that I’ve been in those periods of life before and with age I’ve increasingly realized that the only way I’ll get to rest is if I strive for the evolution of my soul through becoming a better person.
And so here I am. On this crazy journey called life determined to live it wide awake so that I may learn the lessons, no matter how tough they may be. I have another confession: I long to be a guardian angel or a spirit guide. It takes a certain level of evolution to be granted the blessing of helping others from the other side. So what can I do while I’m here? How can I help others? It starts with helping myself to become a kinder, more understanding person living in the moment from a perspective of nothing but love.
I have no clue where this journey might lead me. I feel like I’ve lived through so much, experienced an exceptional amount of joy, pain, trauma, and success. The highs and the lows have been both mighty and swift. Although I’m only 32, I learned a long time ago that no amount of planning is any match for destiny. We are meant to travel roads; it’s our duty to choose wisely. My only hope is that my life in the corporate world—a place I both love and hate—doesn’t get the best of me and distract me so much that I forget the path that I’m on because I’m so focused on the day-to-day hustle and bustle. On the flip side, I am determined to one day have the resources to slow down long enough to spend my days helping people and guiding them in whatever capacity that may be. For now, I hope that small gestures of kindness and words such as these can make a difference in someone’s day. We journey on…
