Soul Searching

Do you know YOU?
Huum... you would wonder what sort of question is this
Don’t I know me?

Yes, I ask you again – Do you know YOU?
The real you?
Huum... you might think.. I am living and breathing..
I am paying bills, and taking care of my children
I am this and that.. holding a job, I cook and clean..
How real can I be..

I ask again.. Do your know your real SELF?
Do you know your spirit?
Okay now I don’t mean that haunted type of spirit
Do you know your soul?
Which is your real self?
The very core of YOU
The gem inside of you
Your truest self? Your sparkling self?
The one that will truly make you happy

Okay its possible your soul is buried with so much junk
It is mental junk you have collected from past..
You have no place to dump.. so you dump it on yourself
Days, weeks, months and years go by..
Soon you have buried your soul..
You no longer can find your soul..
You are missing something..
So you look outside..
For him, for her..
For stuff, yes, all kinds of stuff
Your mind tells you.. go get this..
You run.. then it says.. oh..no.. try this..
You run again.. then it says.. huuum.. may be not..
Oh.. may be you should try this…
Here you go again.. run.. run..

left, right, forward and backward...
Like a little puppy dog..
And which ever direction you run
You can’t find it..
So now you are sitting.. and thinking
I have done everything, looked everywhere
My credit cards are all maxed
My house is full of stuff
But still something is missing
I got married, or I got divorced
I even had children
I finished my degree.. and got another one
I thought a masters would help
I got a house.. it has a back yard pool
Oh.. I even re-did the deck
I got the office I wanted.. got a great view
I am looking outside..
But yet it feels empty..
Something is missing..

STOP
Breath…
Be nice to your self…
Look within…
Deep…clean your internal self..
Do what you must do..
It might take some time..
Depending on how much trash you have dumped on yourself..
Find your inner self..
Some may call this your higher power..
Some godly self..
Some soul or spirit..
Find it.. take it out..
Clean it and polish it..
Let your life reflect your soul

Let your mind and body be in sync with your beautiful soul
The your truest self
Your most authentic self
Bit by bit you will notice..
That what you were really missing
Was your OWN SOUL
And nothing else..

Happy soul searching folks…
