Who We Are

Who we are vs Who we aren’t.

If only we realized the difference, our lives would be simpler.

We aren’t just Doctors, Presidents, Ministers and Directors. Nor are we just daughters, sons, fathers, mothers or more. These are just the names, the manifestations – the clothing over ourselves.

What, then are we?

The sum total of –

• Our dreams & Our desires
• The stuff within ourselves that makes us work hard and with great pleasure to achieve the things of our dreams and our desires
• The stuff within ourselves that prevents us from doing so
• That which makes us respond to people with goodness and kindness
• That which makes us respond to people with harshness and selfishness

These are just some of the things that make up what we are.

If we realize this, it becomes hard for us to elevate people by their titles, homes, vehicles and clothing. It becomes hard for us to ignore people for the lack of these same things.

Unkindness and being covetous no longer get cloaked in money and power. Goodness in the small places will then find recognition and a place in our hearts.

We begin responding to people by their inner selves and not their outer ones.

We recognize the truth in our lives. That, I believe is the beginning of a satisfied life. A happy life – whether good happens to us or not.

If we realize this, We have Made it in Life, Whether we Make it in the World or Not.

We will no longer force ourselves to become the outer manifestation. We will do what we are here to do.

We will not force our children to become the manifestation. We will let them be. We will set them free to do what their inner selves drive them inexorably to do.

And we’ll leave the world a richer place. If only we realized this inner truth of Who we Are.
