The concept of self is a very complex and very debated one.

Yet it is empty; and this is why I feel it is so difficult. 

Self-image is comparable to the mirror image you see when looking at yourself in the clear water.

One minute we have ourselves figured out and clearly defined;

our goals,

our standards,

what we will and won’t do,

and in the blink of an eye that image can be completely distorted with the toss of something as small as a pebble,

yet can be catastrophic in destroying the concept of self we hold on to.

The concept of self is ever changing, and that’s something that needs to be embraced.

To others it may seem like you may be confused,

but to a more deeply evolved soul, they will understand that life, wisdom, and genuine fulfilling experience is a cycle of lost and found.

To find yourself you must lose yourself and then find yourself again.

Each time you find yourself after a period of darkness and frustration,

you will awake with a deeper soul shaking understanding and awareness of yourself.

Life is about making the leap to the unknown,

and not being afraid to emerge a different version of yourself.
