Find Yourself
Where you look to find yourself is up to you.
Here are some of the places I used to look to find myself: my reputation, my bank account, my being right, the look and performance of my body, intimate relationships. Far from finding myself in every one of those, I actually lost myself.
When I searched inside instead – within the recesses of my mind, away from all the ego attachments and enticements, I found my true treasure. Myself.
Not “me” as an individual entity apart from everyone else, but rather my self that is connected in purpose with everyone and everything. The feeling from such a union is truly exquisite and blissful.
Per A Course in Miracles, “Where you look to find yourself is up to you.” Let’s look wisely.
