As teenagers, we think we know it all. We feel as though our development is complete and try to project the idea that we're grown-ups, but yet we avoid the responsibility of being one. Our emotions are exaggerated since we're unable to see reality clearly. We push the boundaries believing we'll live forever and most of us test our parents' mental and emotional limits.
Once we reach the legal age of adulthood, we just go crazy. Well, I sure did. Nobody's advice seems to matter. We're freeeeee, but it's as though we've reverted back to infancy. We go through a rebirth to figure out who we really are and what we're supposed to do in life. Our emotional and mental stability is tested due to our relationships with people and taking on the responsibility of finally becoming an adult.
My mother once told me that we change the most between the ages of 18 and 25. I remember thinking she was crazy, but of course I was a teenager at the time. In hindsight I realize that yes she was correct, however, I believe I experienced the most life-altering changes between the ages of 26 and 30. I knew who I was as a young child, but it took me every year in my 20's to be given the tools I needed to create the life I have now. This is normal...and to think I was anything but, LOL!
When I was a kid the standard question people me asked was, "What do you want to be (or do) when you grow up?" I told them I wanted to live in space. They giggled and thought I gave a "cute kid" response, but guess what? I do live in space...in my own way. I get dreams, waking visuals and hear information about the future that proves to be accurate. I communicate with entities most people don't even know exist. Then there's my gift of writing. That's how I expressed myself the most with family, friends and authority figures during my childhood. Now don't think for a second I'm discounting my rather blunt verbal skills. I incorporate that into my personal and professional lives plenty. Just ask my husband.
Though I'm an advocate for leaving the past behind, I've been retrieving memories that remind me of who I am and help me stay true to my personal standards. I believe in living in the now, but we are all meant to experience many divine events throughout our time on Earth and use them to create a new reality. Each one is significant, even if we don't know it at the time. Generally we don't get the lesson or understand the deeper meaning to those events until after all is said and done.
Being a mother, wife and stepmom has introduced me to another facet with my life purpose. One I never knew I'd desire or be able to handle. It's funny how we are prepped for our adult lives with everything we experience as children. I always figured that was the case and that there was divine order, but to actually see things unfold as they're "supposed" to now is just amazing to me. It's kind of nice to be surprised by myself once in a while.
I know I still have many years of divine events, lessons and growth ahead of me and I'm okay with that. I think it's perfectly healthy to take a good look at ourselves fairly often to make sure we're on the path to achieving our goals and experiencing the best the Universe has to offer while we're alive. This process is part of "the awakening" as us spiritualists call it. We are constantly being born again after each divine event occurs in our lives, even in death.
As I move forward armed with the lesson of this new epiphany, all I have to remember is this...
When I grow up all I need to be is happy.
I wish somebody had told me that when I was a kid.
