If The Answer is Within....Why Is It So Hard to Find It?

Like, we are supposed to know ourselves first and foremost, right?  We should be able to do it from inside...we are strong, practiced in self healing, self assertiveness, and we are in the groove of self actualization....what could knock us off our equilibrium?  What could upset the applecart?  Career discovery should be just a matter of self-propelled determination...right?  So, why is it so hard to figure out?

Trouble is we don't know ourselves that well,  as well as we might hope we do...."the answer is within" sounds just great, but it better not be based on hackneyed, trite logic or cute isms that try to help the person look cool, land on his or her feet...just to feel good or to seem like the idea of self-determined destiny is our human right and natural path.  More often than not, the person is not equipped for the emotional track, when options start to thin down, when we hit mid-life and life itself is not clear and not producing the "dream" we were educated by parents and some teachers would eventually be born....and if we feel failure is at our doorstep, and if we are even willing to admit exhaustion, still where do we turn?  What can we do to "find it within"?  How can we get inside our own skin and figure it out?....unless, maybe, we approach it as if we are writing our own love story...unique to us...

It is a love story...when you find your dream, you begin to really love life...
Do you love your life?  Over all of it?  If you hesitate, talk with someone you could trust and work on self esteem...if you feel OK, just tired, know its just not within you yet...meanwhile start looking for your own pieces that may be the best and the worst...someone may come from the side...the wings....be prepared....

You can be prepared from within....so be clear with yourself what you want...and know how hungry it feels, admit the hunger to yourself......just understand you cannot manufacture the event.  But....it will come.

You can put yourself in the path of people and places where you may get signals....it is the only way...you can give yourself signals until you go round in circles...it takes the fresh new flashes from others to spark our own discovery....then we can see it truly comes from within....it feels like an old friend who just re-appeared....warm, friendly, perfect fit....that's your dream!  It's like your best friend....did you manufacture your best friend?  No, he or she came to you.  Remember?....
