Until we find out who we are from within, we really don’t know who we are at all.
Our sense of ourselves has to come from within.
We can gain the tools of self-discovery from various sources.
We have to apply them, though, in order to create our individual identity.
The same way that we have been created and now identify with our past and current surroundings, we can discover new possibilities for ourselves based on our deep desires.
Looking deeply at what we desire, and letting it be unified with uplifting and benefitting society and civilization, we focus and expand our desires.
The more they benefit everyone, the more they benefit us.
As we expand ourselves through our desires, we expand ourselves through our service.
All we can really do comes from within.
Our abilities come from our thoughts.
Our strength is also powered by our thoughts.
Our relationships are most certainly decided by our thoughts.
Everything we present as ourselves has been shaped from various influences.
If we want to change what we are presenting, we have the perfect tools within.
Listening first.
Listening again.
Listening quietly.
Listening persistently.
We will begin to hear that elusive, small voice.
It is the one that is always there, underneath all the noise.
And then, one day, after we have tired of our surroundings and are willing to trust what we hear from within, we will hear it, that voice.
That voice within, that is our own.
