Value from a new experience

This post was inspired by a question on my previous blog post, linked here...

“Please share a new experience and the value that you found from it?“

In all honesty this year has been one of the most exciting years of my life. I say this because I have experienced more this year than I have in the 19 years I’ve spent on this earth.

I’ve come to know more about the world around me but more importantly about myself.

One experience I would love to share with you is one of self discovery.

The past couple years have been so difficult for me because I had always felt the need to be like those around me, just to fit in to feel better and included. The urge to be like others was never there, I have always wanted to be my own independent person and I haven’t been able to be that until this year.

I’ve stopped listening to those opinions around me and started following what my intuition and my higher thought pattern told me. I started doing things that made me fall in love with being myself, with living as myself. I had thought my own feelings hadn’t mattered and that I could just go through life willing what others wanted instead of my own.

I took that step for me, I needed to find that value within myself because I had always given value to what others thought and stuck to that instead of what I had been feeling within myself.

I thought I was valuable to myself because I was valuable to others, when in actual fact it’s the other way around, I can only be valuable to others when I am first valuable to myself.

I started focusing on what I loved and what I felt brought a higher frequency within. I learned new things, I ended friendships who had surpassed their value timeline, I had stopped taking opinions of others as my own, especially from those closest to me like my parents.

I no longer feel this unneeded pressure upon myself to be something I am not. If I no longer connect to something, I shall disconnect myself from it.

I think that is one of the most valuable lessons I have learnt this year, to know when something is for me, and if it is not, to know when to move on from it.

I’m so thankful for this experience and I just know it will keep molding and changing within me, I can’t wait to discover more from within and how valuable I can truly be.
