I Am a Deep Thinker
It seems to be that our very pain points us in the direction of what we’re here to do. The hurt, that pain, has a purpose and a mission. Little did I know that the loss I experienced, served as a catalyst to help others find their way out of darkness.
I had written down something before, which of course, is nothing new to many.
"I am not what happened to me. I know that what happened to me in my past, was not the essence of me. I am not a victim, nor would I live the life of a victim. The self-judgments that I’d allowed to define me and my choices that I felt shackled to, I began to release when I learned to forgive myself and others for judging me. And there was freedom inside for the very first time.
Transformation didn't happen in a dramatic way, rather it was long and tedious. I carried the heaviest load. I was hard on myself, judging me in self-recrimination. Until, my soul felt tired. It began telling me enough of this heavy load. While it might seem that I was assisting some higher agenda by punishing myself or others with judgments, I was only choking off the natural flow of love. I realized forgiveness freed me to joyously do what I came here to do, and that is to give and to receive love.
I can’t think of a more powerful act of service than forgiveness. Nobody ever became a better person by judging what they did. With that, I knew it then I was going to survive the pain of my shattered life."
