Philip Harman In our early years in this world, our heart brimmed with joy and wonder. The innocence and purity that dwelt within our sincere heart guided us in whatever we did. That is why our childhoods hold the fondest memories for most of us. However, the blissful existence did not last, it just fizzled out as the years went by.
Then the conscious realization hit us. We start to believe that the world is not as respectable as we thought, neither is it fair or perfect, and neither are the people, including ourselves. The magical spell of our childhood was broken.
We no longer accepted that nature was perfect. The world may be unbalanced, and we feel like a rose among thorns, but that is the world we live in. We feel like there is nothing we can do to change that.
We have to realize that we are perfect as we are, and the light that brought delight to our lives and the lives of those around us when we were young and without a care in the world, is still deep inside of us. It never left.
Over the years our perception of the world changed. We took on responsibilities that felt like we were carrying the world on our shoulders. We have to understand that the world will take care of itself. Our greatest responsibility is to be the best person we can be.
Other people are not better than us, we are simply overlooking the incredible power and beauty that lies within us, the power and beauty unique to only ourselves.
The world is already what it is meant to be. We have to make peace with who we are and our unique position in the world. Only then will we see that the light that once bathed the world around us in blissful goodness and perfection, still lies within us, it never left, and that it will make our life whole, once again.
