February 6, 2009 - 25 Epiphanies

1. The ego scares the hell out of me! The ego makes you insecure. The ego is the "thinker". It is very dangerous and powerful.



2. I will always be an owner! No matter what circumstance or what bad choice I've made, I will own it...I will never be a victim to it.



3. I believe that everyone is different and we all have our own lives, but it doesn't mean you should just push those people away who are different from you. But most people do...it's sad.



4. I like getting "out of the box"...do someting totally different than the norm. Do something that scares the crap out of me...just to see to what I can learn about myself.



5. I hope that I will always remain humble in this horrific society that we all live in.



6. I am really good friends with my ex boyfriend and his girlfriend, and I don't care what anyone else thinks about that!



7. People always say that they are living in the moment, but I really wonder sometimes do they even really know what that truly means? Go read The Power of Now by Eckert Tolle and get back to me.



8. I'm not sure about religion right now...I get confused...I do believe in a much greater, higher being and that this Universe is very mysterious and I listen to it when it talks to me...I am more of a spiritual person rather than religious.



9. I want to learn something new every day! :)



10. I like meeting new people. I could not imagine a life w/o meeting new people all the time.



11. Even though I like meeting new people and having tons of friends of all kinds and for different outlets in my life, I am really a loner and always have been.



12. I don't "subscribe to the magazine"...that everyone else does.



13. I long for a connection with the right man one day...but #12 restated - I don't "subscribe to the same magazine" as everyone else.



14. I believe people come into our lives for reasons we can't even begin to explain. They love us, they hurt us and they leave us. But we will always learn from these people.



15. I want to always be evolving into a new being every day, a better being.



16. I believe that nothing happens without personal transformation...you have to want it for yourself. No one else is going to do it for you. Take ownership! If you don't like something in your life, change it.



17. I am re-inventing myself (I'm referring to the reversal of the domestication process, not "finding myself") and have been for the last 2 1/2 years...i believe that I was domesticated as a little girl to believe things that society believes or things that my parents believed and not what I wanted to believe. I read The Four Agreements and am applying them to my life.



18. I am 100% complete already. I don't need anything else to complete ME...i don't need a man, a high salary, a nice car, awesome clothes, etc. I don't need to "find myself". I am already me, and that is enough.



19. I believe I am living the best years of my life at this very moment. :) At this moment, I am nothing more and nothing less. I am not thinking of the past and I am not worried about my future anymore. The Universe will take care of it. I am just living in the present moment.



20. "The only thing I fear is fear itself." However, true "courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway". No one truly ever conquers their fears. But I just hope that I will always keep pressing on...



21. Everything here is just temporary anyway!



22. I am not afraid to die. If I died today, I would be satisfied with my life so far. :) I would expect all my friends to throw a huge party!



23. I don't care about "fitting in"...besides it's too crowded in there!



24. Those who plant seeds of doubt are dangerous people!



25. ...the tension is here...between who you are and who you could be...between how it is and how it could be. I DARE you to move...like today never happened before! - Switchfoot
