What I believe about life... or what I don't believe?

At some point in my life I thought that life was to follow those "normal" patterns or that society yearns for, that is, study, get a college degree, get married, have your own home, children ... and a host of things that have more to do with "doing" than with "Being", after all I thought that so many people who followed the same path could not be wrong.

After I faithfully followed that path, that is to say, I graduated as a lawyer, bought my house, vehicles, traveled, got married, had my children, got divorced... well, divorce is not something that is expected in society within those normal patterns, although nowadays it is more common than before... anyway, after having or having done all those things, I realized that something else was missing, or rather, I started to question myself that maybe life was not so much about that "doing" I was talking about.

I realized then that I was exhausted of doing and having, and that although many of those achievements fill me with great satisfaction as my children are my great inspiration, there had to be another way of living life, or perhaps, that the meaning I was giving it was not the most suitable.

I don't think I can come up with a definition of "life" at this moment, but I can affirm that life is to be experienced without limitations. I think it is a kind of laboratory where we came to have an accumulation of experiences whose ultimate goal is happiness... utopia?

Since I questioned all this, I'm more convinced that life is to enjoy the big and small things that come your way, to embrace your affections, awaken the senses, to value every sunrise and sunset, serve and live under the grace that fills you with peace in every step you take. Since I raised these concerns, a new path of life has opened for me, which I walk with much enjoyment and at the same time, feeling a little vulnerable to want to go against the current and so many patterns and paradigms that exist in society that we must finish releasing.

I also thought that my purpose in life was to be at the service of others, to help people, at the beginning with my career as a lawyer, after I studied psychotherapy and some healing techniques, I changed it to help people with other life tools such as coaching, reiki, biodanza.... However, although the desire to "serve" has always been present, now I believe that my purpose is to remain faithful to what I do and what I am passionate about, to go after everything that gives me states of joy, happiness, whether they are within the conventions or not, and within this "doing" that works for its happiness, to find and permanently enliven my "Being".

I feel that from this congruence, aligning my thoughts with my emotions and my actions, is when the contributions I can make for others in their process of self-knowledge, as well as my own, will really be more significant.

I think it's a deep topic, with much more fabric to cut. Thank you @galenkp for inspiring this reflection with your initiative.

Blessings and good vibes to all. See you soon!
