This blog is an ongoing narrative therapy journey towards:
Calmness of mind; calmness of spirit.
Peace of mind; peace within.
Courage to face oneself honestly; courage to change.
It is a journey that is not always peaceful, not always courageous, and not always calm, however it is a progression.
We are born into this world and we leave it. As far as I know, no one remembers pre-birth, hell, I barely remember being a toddler.
Life (in a simple form) as I see it, is a brief opportunity to do some good and to leave some words, these are my words.
The path has not always been a story of good, but it is the path I have arrived at.
In this blog are memories, recent and distant, observations and discoveries of myself, where I have been; where I desire to go. It is an ongoing dissection of thoughts, decisions, actions, and the narrative that contributes to these.
It is an inward journey.
Perhaps expertise in knowing oneself happens to oneself at the time of its own choosing; if ever at all.
The point of choice.
This is where a non captured mind comes in handy. Moving forward is to change observantly. To find the answers about who I really am.
What do I really believe?
What do my actions say about my beliefs?
Can I accept the truth about myself?
Part of the journey is the day I became aware that I was truly grateful, and began to be more honest with myself; the day I stood up.
I was in a difficult place, one of little hope, a place where I thought, if there is a God, he’s not here. It was a place I had driven myself to. What I have found, is that forgiveness begins within. Moving forward requires honesty with oneself.
it is with hopefulness that the words within these pages will help inspire some to move through the tough places that our minds take us, and work toward calm.
