There are times when we feel as if we are losing parts of ourselves, especially when we choose to walk another person's path besides our own. Whatever the reason may be, we give ourselves permission to put others' needs ahead of our own. Although some may say that they were not given a choice in the actions they took, even choosing to take no action was a conscious decision. We tend to base our decisions on what we feel was best at the time. If this is true then at no time do we lose who we are, but we may take less care of ourselves when our priorities are shifted elsewhere. Know that it's difficult to get lost when we have an inner compass that is always ready to help us continue on our path. Today, reflect upon where you are in your life. If you are not satisfied with the way things are going, you have the opportunity to change. Ask yourself if you are living the life you envisioned or are you settling for what is comfortable. You have the ability to find out who you really are if you are brave enough to look within and hear the truth.
Sometimes we forget how beautiful our own path can be...
(In hindsight, I understand that I've always had the right to decide what was best for me. Whether I made the best choices is to be seen, but they have made me who I have become. At this point in life, I am happy with all that I am.)
