Hey friends!
So, in these past couple of days I have been doing a lot of soul searching. I’ve got to tell you guys that I think I’ve come to an answer that I’ve been seeking. What’s funny is that the answer was always in front of me but I was externally looking for it, rather than trusting myself and my intuition- or even asking myself similar questions. Why would I turn outside of me to find what my purpose is? It’s actually kind of counterintuitive for me (personally), because all the external noise can throw you into confusion and you’re now asking yourself- what is real? What the fuck?
And it can become a lonely and depressing place to be.
I’m not weak...(I tell myself), so I caught onto this "confusion period" I was experiencing. Then, after some thought, I asked myself: "well, what do I know…? What can I be sure of?"
As the “self proclaimed philosopher” I claim to be, of course my answer is – "I'm only sure of 1 thing- that I know nothing indefinitely or certainly."
So – then I wondered... if I know nothing to a certainty...then does anyone know anything to a certainty?
Let's try deductive reasoning…based on the above theory/hypothesis.
I, Faith am a human being.
Human beings do not know everything to a certainty.
(even the things we currently believe we do know certainly).
Thus, I, Faith am a human being who does not know everything to a certainty.
^^^. I would agree with that deductive reasoning – HOWEVER - HOW CAN WE SAY THIS IS CERTAIN - INDEFINITE? I don't think I can properly answer that question. I am not sure if we can.
We infer facts like circumstantial evidence that lead us to accept things as facts.
I also think that we know what we want because all we have to do is turn and look to what we are giving our time and attention to.
So, to briefly conclude - the beginning of my journey of looking internally for the deeper, more spiritual knowledge and wisdom - I think we truly do embody all answers inside of us. I found out on this journey that the only way I’d figure out or find my purpose was to cut out the external noise and look inward – not outward. Why would I look externally to learn more about myself? It's silly now that I think about it...
But also, it is so cool because I really do trust myself & soul. I feel even more grounded and powerful...knowing that I love myself, know myself better & trust myself – all from within.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Sending positivity!
