People experience some moments in their life that are short-lived and only give temporary momentary pleasure while some change their lives of people.

This week, I had the chance to witness a metamorphosis not in the sense of a specific, more significant change, but in the continuous process of receiving a precious present.

I believe it was that one moment that defined the essence of something, or rather someone that lies within all of us – the soul.

For a while, I lived with the emptiness of missing a piece to make me complete. In this context, there was a desire for the new, a craving for something different, and thus, a search. Then, it clicked. To start with I found my identity, the nucleus of my being.

This brings into focus the very words of a song named “Searching My Soul” sung by Vonda Shepard.

The chorus captures the essence perfectly:

I have been searching my soul tonight

I know there’s so much more to life

Now I know I can shine a light

To find my way back home

It literally translated into asking myself – ‘What are you meant to be doing with your life?’ And that wasn’t just about discovering Hawaii and what lies beneath, it was the process of discovering myself and what lies deep within my soul.

It is also a form of surrendering to different forms of boundaries and restrictions, accepting independence and self-care. I was taught how to be kind, but to be wise: I got to know what it means to be a loving person and to accept love back.

Overall, I was grateful for having understood the need to embrace life and live each day as it came. The idea of finding one’s soul doesn’t sound like something that could be obtained in passing, like a mere buzz that fades away in a matter of hours; it appears to be a lasting change.

This is my story and I hope that my experience will encourage others to seek the path to true wellness for them.

It means that the so-called ‘best moments’ rarely exist as isolated incidents in the measure; it is regarding the start of an exceptional story.

Dreaming of a healthy and happy life and a rightful place among geniuses – open your light!
