Musing On Self-Discovery

Life is much more than a pretentious ambition A sense of entitlement or finding one’s position. Life is discovering your individual, innate talent, Unique self-qualities, on which you hold a patent Your raison d’etre, answering “Why am I here?” You will find it in the things you hold most dear.

I believe this also "You will find it in the things you hold most dear."

Thank you, Caren. I believe this is true with all my heart, and I have found it so in my own life.

"discovering your individual, innate talent". I like this thought very much, because we are all good at something. Life is filled with many hidden surprises indeed. Thank you for being here, for being you. :) Hugs, Brandy

So true Milton, we only have to open our minds and look within to discover our own existence. Tom

This little poem just came to me while I was thinking about my reason for living. I think we all should do that now and then.
