Finding my sunshine

Yesterday, I published my writings and shared it with some close family members and friends to get their honest feedback. Initially, there was a sense of elation of doing something worthwhile with my time and a big boost to my morale for trying something new.

However, immediately after publishing it, I felt a certain amount of anxiety, what if they do not like it, what if I fall short on their expectations, or worse they think less of me since I am baring my soul in my writing.

STOP THIS THOUGHT, NOW! Is what I heard strongly from inside. I was reminded by a thought, I have embarked on this journey to find my answers and if I fear of what others think, I will deviate from my path. I no longer want to live under the burden of my past accomplishments; this would not help me grow and climb the several mountains that I still need to conquer as an individual.  

I stood in my balcony, fighting this internal tussle, completely oblivious to my surrounding. And then suddenly, I saw this breath-taking site.

The site had an overwhelming effect. It made me realise of the sun rays shining brightly inspite of the sky filled with many dark clouds.

Similarly, even though I may be clouded with thoughts of uncertainty, the soul is pure, it has not lost its shine, it does have all the answers. I just need to make an effort to find them.

Through the posts, I was able to connect with so many of my old colleagues, dear friends and people that I am truly blessed to have in my life. Just receiving a thumbs up and words of encouragement meant the world to me, thank you for your support.

It’s strange how nature has all the answers, only if we pause, look and try to be a part of it. At the  moment, I’m filled with immense hope that I will indeed find what I have set out to look for and I’m not alone in this journey of self-discovery.
