Exposed

I have been toying with the idea of starting something new, fresh and with purpose.

This new year I made only one resolution, CHANGE, I want to change, effect change and encourage change. In a previous article I wrote about my WHY and what it means to me. The discoveries I have made about myself and my purpose.

“I have a father’s heart”

This is my inner core, like a Russian nesting doll we build layers around us. Every layer contains something of us that have been changed, corrupted or stained by life. The outside layer is what we show the world and this is how most people see us. Every layer in our lives can be attributed to a major event in our lives. Births, Deaths, Weddings, Divorces the list goes on. These add a new layer to our personal a new dimension to our lives. The problem is as we add more layers our inner core becomes difficult to access and we end up making decisions based on our experiences and not our core. Decisions based on popular believes and in effect adding another layer over our inner core.  

I did not recognize myself at the beginning of 2018, I did not know who I was anymore. I started peeling at the layers. Some layers where really difficult to get through because I could not see that there was another underneath or the pain of dealing with events that led there was very difficult to face. I am still a work in progress as every day, I peel away a little more off I can feel the slight glimmer of my inner core shining through, I managed to get some layer peeled off completely and others still have remnants, these will flake off with time but my inner core is exposed and I have discovered who I am.
