Journey of Self Discovery

Have you yearned to have a better life? More happiness, health, money, love, spirituality, adventure, etc.? Where do you turn to find these things? How do you start a journey of self discovery?

Searching

Whenever you have felt lacking in any or all of these areas have you turned to interpreting your dreams, reading self-help books, inspirational or thought-provoking movies, palm readers, energy healers, five-step or 12-step methods, angel cards, Rumi, yoga, etc.

Have you berated yourself for not being enough? Not enough brains, money, love, opportunities, etc.? Why me?

I have turned to all of these when I have felt these emotions or had these questions!

Did I find my answers, did my life magically change? No, but some of it has helped me to think a little deeper, helped me change some of my ways. Gave me food for thought.

Following the Path

It led me to different ideas for doing things differently, led me to practice yoga, but they did not help me figure out how to find my purpose for my life, I was still looking for something.

My father was a dreamer and gambler. He loved horse racing and betting. I would go with him to the races when I was young, and I fell in love watching the trotters and runners. The thrill and excitement of the crowd rooting for them was thrilling.

Observing the horses, how they walked, held their heads, the lines of their beautiful, strong bodies, their soulful eyes, filled me with joy! I too became caught up in the ‘high’ of betting, even though I had no money.

My dad would ask me which one I liked, and he would place a bet for me. However, I don’t recall him sharing the winnings when my horse won! Well, I think he bought me an ice cream cone.

Lessons from the Horses

Thank God I did not take up the habit of betting on the horses, I realized early on that it never really paid off for him. I went for a good job instead, security, steady paycheck, dreams of retiring with a decent pension. A ‘normal life’.

Life has a way of throwing challenges your way. All that security, etc. was gone in what seemed like the blink of an eye! Oh No Mr. Bill, now what?

The gambling and dreaming seeds planted at the track sprouted. I didn’t turn to the horses, instead I turned to starting online businesses. I would stray to every shiny object that caught my attention. Looking for the magic lamp!

The Journey of Self Discovery Begins

After many failures and credit card debt I wasn’t making progress. Why? Like they say, the ‘answer my friend is blowing in the wind’. I realized during one of my yoga meditations that my problem had to be me.

I was not grasping how to peel the “onion” and uncover my “true identity” my “Sat Nam” so that I could become the best version of myself and follow my heart’s bliss! Yes, I read a lot of books, have taken some personal development courses, Tony Robbins and others.

I was teaching yoga, loving it but making no money! I didn’t want to get a regular job 9-5, I was done with that world.

Chasing Dreams

The online dreams were like gambling on the horses, a dream of hitting it big and making money, thinking all my troubles would go away! Then I realized that something was missing.

How could I see things from clearer? Do I truly understand what all these books I had read were saying? It eluded me. I thought I was doing all the right things, but I did not see, the veil was still over my eyes. I had yet to see that nothing outside of me could make me happy or successful. I had to dig deeper.

Finding the Master Key Experience

A friend invited me to attend a Zoom call with a guy they called Mark J. I participated and was blown away! I fell in love with what they were teaching and how they taught it.

Finally, something that gave me answers to my “Why’s, How’s and When’s”? They were offering a classes via a scholarship, I applied, was accepted.

This course has made me realize that what I loved about the horses at the track was their strength and their perseverance. The horses and jockeys were focused on their mission, to win the race.

When they took off and ran it evoked feelings and emotions of anticipation, joy and the hope of winning filled you with excitement. Our lives should make us feel the same way.

The Journey of Self Discovery Continues

I’m starting my third year with the program. There’s a lot to discover and learn. Is the course easy? Depends, so much is easy to do and easy not to do. Oh, and I am making money teaching my yoga classes now! I am happy!
