Many people go through life without any idea for or what to pursue. They really never find a niche that brings them peace in their heart. In my early 30’s I ask myself, “Where am I headed in life?” “What do I want to do?” I asked those questions a lot and sat down and stopped to think. The biggest thing that came to mind was to do what you enjoy to do. Life is too short to be sitting around doing the things someone else has for you to do. I realize life is not about making all the money in the world or having the most popular job everyone else likes. It’s not about being the prettiest girl or the strongest man. Its about finding ones inner self. That inner self brings happiness and an energy that you can only feel. I T ’ S Y O U R S. I call it “Inner Energy“
Is it a fear that haunts us to reaching what we could be enjoying? Is it an embarrassment that everyone else will think we’re a fool? Or is it because we don’t take the time to stop and to see what really is in our hearts? Those first steps to the puzzle can come at anytime, place or age in your life. It‘s just whether or not we want to pursue that puzzle. I feel that life it too short not to pursue that puzzle.
A movie I true enjoyed touched my heart to make me realize on things: Shawshank Redemption 1994. I won’t go through any of the details of the story, that’s for you to watch. But the one phrase that really struck me most was, “I Guess It Comes Down To A Simple Choice; Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dieing,” A quote by Tim Robbins played as Andy Dufresne. Everyone has a destiny in life, and their should be know one person taking you away from the pieces of your puzzle. The only fear of finding your destiny is not knowing or finding it at all in your life.
Most of the things I write have brought me joy in my life. There are stories I write about that have meaning deep in my heart. Then there are stories I write that I just want to speak out and be heard. The biggest thing is that I enjoy writing. Whether I’m a good writer or not, I found writing to be one of my “Inner Energies“. There are many more “Inner Energies“ as you continue to read my Hubs. “Do you have an“Inner Energy”? Is there something out there for you that has brought peace in your heart? I hope some things I write might bring out an “Inner Energy” in you.
