Do You Know Your SELF

Posted on May 11, 2017 by James R. Yarbrough

The Self is Our Core

To be self-aware is to know who you are. The Self is our core, the essence of each one of us. It is where we go to be ourselves. A place we would never leave on our own. Our power and strength come from there. If your mind and the ways of life have kept you away, it is your choice to go back. It is not easy to do. That is, unless you have found the strength to see the way and know it is what you want for your life. And you have to want it more than anything else because it is just that important to your happiness and well-being.

You must understand what it is in those words above that has meaning for you. Even when it seems to have no relevance to your life or the world that you live in. Well, I can tell you that it does. One race that cannot be won is the one against the truth. You can run and hide, but reality will always find you. Some refuse to see themselves as they really are, the real person that they hide behind various cover-ups and disguises. Do not let that be you for your actions are what is seen and how you act is how you live. It is how you think, thus how you feel and you will act on your feelings.

We see you even when you do not see your Self.

God loves you and so do I.

What I write is inspired by the Creator. It is a natural process, not forced or coerced. It is written as it flows into my mind, and my life experiences and observations of the wonders of nature are the foundation for my insight. I am on a mission to let how I think be a voice that has not been heard. What I write and say is what I believe. My life has been a road well traveled. There have been freeways, side streets and dead ends. I have been cautioned, sped up and slowed down. I have changed lanes, merged with traffic and yielded to the right of way. I have been first at four way stops and the last to leave. I have driven through heavy rain, sunny days, and dark nights. It is after the darkest of them all, that I came to an intersection. I could pray on or move on. I now move with the traffic. I speed up when I can slow down when I should and pass when I must. Though, I am not in a hurry for life to me is not a race. We get to the end of the road soon enough. I made a decision to stay on the road of life. To take the off ramp is a thing I did not want to do. I know there is more to say than what has been said. What I have to say is not academic; I simply look at life in a way you may never have. It is how I see the world.
