Everyone wants to find that place. The place where they feel
fulfilled on a daily basis and feel like they belong. Whether they are part of
a collective or seeking personal satisfaction within themselves, everyone has a
yearning to belong. But what happens when you feel like you don't belong? You
feel like you don't fit in or life is not fitting in for you the way you
desire?
Every person comes to that "?" moment in their
life where they start questioning themselves about the choices they have made
and the situations they have endured. When that happens it is the initial moment we
start looking for that place. We start trying to fill the gaps in our lives so
everything makes sense.
Sometimes in life we go on searches for that place and they end up being a wild goose chase. Sometimes our
lives were not meant to be spent searching for another destination. We may very well have
the building blocks already in front of us to create a place of our own. It seems
like our human nature is to go hunting down someone else's place or doing what
others do to make us fulfilled. We feel like we have to be congruent with the
accomplishments of others or look and do like someone else has already done.
I have personally realized some of the hardest times in my
life were some of the most defining moments towards building my place. I was working
tirelessly and aimlessly trying to accomplish something else when the answer was
all around me. Those times really built character in me and at the time I was
feeling like I was failing left and right at my goals. But the fact of the
matter was that I was accomplishing a lot and learning many valuable lessons
when it was all said and done. It was just not the lessons I wanted to learn or
the goals I wanted to achieve at that time, even though they were necessary to
endure. Sometimes you have to accept those moments in your life when things
don't make sense. That is when your vision becomes perfectly clear. Acceptance sometimes gives us the courage to move forward in our lives. Realizing
something is not quite right in your life is the first step to making it a
whole lot better. The great thing is that after you endure the hard part and lay a
great foundation in your place in life, it is hard for someone or something to take it away from you.
