“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” – C.G. Jung
The one trait that always fascinates me about us humans is our ability to evolve. In fact, I believe this is one of the key elements to leading a fulfilled life. I was a very shy, polite and timid young girl with a lot of life inside me. Somewhere very early on in life, I learned to observe myself (possibly because I was so shy that I spent more time looking inward then connecting outward). I realized I could observe, assess, create and recreate myself. The prospect of a “new day, new you” really excited me. How wonderful that each day was an opportunity to be a better version of myself.
That moment onwards, I promised myself to find something admirable in each person I met. I would then try and incorporate this trait into my own life to the best of my ability. I read all that I could on relationships and human psychology. When I was pregnant and then a mom I would read every article on the subject. This certainly helped me prepare for motherhood and its enormous joy and fulfillment.
Like all of us, as life got busy with raising a family, running a business, etc., etc. I had to find innovative ways of keeping up with my passion. Thank goodness for the bright young children who so quickly adapt to new technology. Once my darling daughter downloaded Audible for me, I was able to listen to books on my phone and there was no looking back. Whether driving to or from work, driving my children to school, or different activities or while waiting for music lessons to be over I listened to the most incredible books.
Then came my introduction to the magic of YouTube. With a set of noise canceling, cordless, headphones courtesy my doting husband, I have been able to invite some of the greatest minds into my kitchen while I prepare wonderful meals for my family. This has been a life changer for me.
I am ever so grateful to every person who came into my life through personal contact, television, film, print and lately social media for teaching me something new…every day!
I am so excited and looking forward to who I shall become…
How have you evolved over the years? What are some things that helped you along the way? I would love to hear your story.
With Love,
Devinder ❤️
