"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly -- that is what each of us is here for."
Oscar Wilde, Irish playwright, poet, author and novelist, 1854-1900
Discovering one's nature can take a lifetime. It's that age old question of, What do I want to be when I grow up? Sometimes, and especially in tough economic times, we get so caught up in making a living we forget to live the life we were intended to discover, and miss the destiny we were designed to fulfill.
The world has a way of intruding and slapping its demands, expectations and responsibilites at the top of our daily life list. The "shoulds" of life often overshadow the pursuit of self-development and discovery of our perfect nature. After a day spent making a living, there can be precious little engery and time left for a trip down self-realization's road.
It is possible to have meaningful revelations of self-realization at the most unexpected times. Be aware of moments when you feel surpremely happy, when you laugh from your soul, or one of my favorites is when I know in my heart this is where I am supposed to be at this moment in time.
Recognize and record the peak experiences of joy and fulfillment in your life. Then add more of those moments to your daily exsistence and you will increase the speed at which you discover your perfect nature.
It will not happen overnight. It takes time.
That is why we are given a lifetime.
