Embracing Me (Part II)

...leaving a job that made me feel dull and lifeless made me realize how important it is for me to find my passion. I have reflected a lot over the past week as I have been nearly unemployed for the first time in my life, fortunately I have a nice backup job that I will be returning to shortly. Anyway, one thing that I have realized is that I need to learn to love myself. This sounds so silly to write, but I think it is so true and key to living a fulfilling life. I wrote this the other day when I was realizing that I needed to embrace who I am...Knowing myself, loving myself, and connecting with myself is the key to loving life. How can I ever feel loved, feel connected, feel comfortable, feel worthy, feel at peace, or feel happy if I do not know and love myself. I must accept, appreciate, and celebrate who I am while striving to be the best I can be. I am what I have experienced, more importantly what I have learned from those experiences, and most importantly the way in which I aim to embrace future experiences. I am what I think, more importantly what I believe, and most importantly what I do. I am my body, I am my mind, and I am me when I connect my body and mind.

I feel like I have been living in clouds for the past few years...Unsure about myself, what I want, who I am, afraid to be what and who I am. The clouds are parting, and I am beginning to shine that which is me!
