Diverse Life Contributions

"I am such a complex person, I have so many different 

layers of my personality to choose from. I am 

super sensitive and I am super strong." 

Lykke Li

Our culture seems to be finally changing from one singular label for each person to recognizing various identifications. Personally, I have great admiration for those who are multi-sided. We create stress when trying to limit ourselves to being just one thing, when we have the potential of being many things.

The more diversified we become, life seems to be more fulfilling. When we reach into our depths, liberation and connection abound. What satisfies us in one stage of life may become suffocating in one other. Professionally, our contribution may be one thing, but our joy may come from other side lines.

Younger generations seem to be skipping around in differing jobs, rather than staying in one place for a long haul. I see this as a good thing, speculating they are exploring different aspects of the self. It is good to step outside of a projected image as we then become much more interesting and versatile in life contributions.  

 

Hide Me Under A Bushel, No ...

"I am such a complex person. I have so many layers

of my personality to choose from."

A flower garden filled with abundant colors draws my attention. Similarly, a person with a multi-sided personality captivates me. Life can be a maze leading me into unexpected turns having no sense of final destination. From each twist, I have the option of learning, creating, and applying diverse aspects of the self.

Cultivating healthy responses to life's drama, I struggle, persevere, and unfold. So much energy is required, I am not willing to hide my journey. I desire to fully step into all parts of my self, and experience personal power. Investing in my self, I will protect my gains by choosing those who offer compassion, integrity, and acceptance of who I am.

Relationships require flexibility, and a willingness to be open to diverse opinions. I remember that others want to be appreciated just as much as I do. I aim to greet others with respect even if I do not understand. Whether zeroing in on a certain layer or scanning the entire self, I yearn for freedom, peace and spiritual recognition.
