Perception / Priceless Wealth

What I know now.

Your perception is the only thing you truly own. This body, your mind, heart and spirit. Are the only things you can truly proclaim as yours. When you sit in that truth for a while until it resonates, you realise how little you have, how much you have and how important it is for you to take care of yourself and value yourself. Everything else is shared amongst us, but belongs to no one really, knowing this, free's you from being attached to material things that can get lost, shatter and burn away. When you find yourself lost, you still have... well, you. When you face adversity, you go through hardships one way, and come out another, your interior may have changed but on the inside you have everything you were born with just in a more evolved form.

Beautiful truths like this go over our heads. We read them, we understand them. Then we pass them off as pretty words to help us get through rainy nights. But I wonder if people actually let themselves be immersed in these so called cliches. It took me a while to step outside of the hussle and bussle of 'life'. Or what society expects life to look like, basically occupying ourselves and keeping ourselves busy till we die. :) When I realised that everything was a mystery and we really don't know how we got here or what the hell we are doing, we're just living day to day. No one has all the answers. So we can wash that silly notion away.

What I know now is that, your perception is the greatest gift you can give anyone. We only know what it is like to live in our own bodies, to see from our viewpoint. Allowing people to see the world from where you stand is the closest thing to an out-of-body experience they will ever get. The way we translate our senses into feeling and language is unique to us. To be 'in your own lane' really and truly means to honour yourself completely, I think you must respect everything about yourself  the smallest. tiniest details, and then look in the mirror and see beauty, greatness and absolute wonder staring back at you. What I know now is that when you become thankful for every detail about yourself and human experience, you begin to compare yourself to others less, because if you were meant to have what they have and be what they are ... you would. But we cannot sit still and comfortable within these thoughts that make us feel giddy and warm, because... what I know now is, that life will test you on how much you really claim to believe the things you say you believe.

'Ask yourself how much you believe in your own light when you find someones elses glow as a threat to your own'.             

To see art in the way you do things is to see God moving through you, everything under the sun has its own way of being. But as humans, intelligence has been a gift and a curse, we have used it too live more 'advanced' lifestyles, but we have also become obsessed with living within lines. It's so easy to lose your authenticity and start believing that your natural way of being or thinking is wrong because it is not the way that is glorified or the most common. What I know now is that the only way to really be truly 'beautiful' is to be authentically yourself and to express yourself whole-heartedly. When it comes to talents, the only way to really leave a legacy is to value your perception so much so you take the time, dedication, devotion and determination to cultivate your skills and bless other people with them. I'm practicing not worrying about whether or not people understand my form of expression, that means through fashion, art, poetry... whatever.

Within all of these divine understandings, I think to remain humble means to remember, the only thing exclusive to you is your experience, but we have all been granted our own experiences and perceptions and must respect that of others.

Obviously, we gotta dive deeper into such topics because there are just too many revelations to cover. For this post, i'll say what I know now is to place value on things I can claim to be mine forever, which is the holy trinity which exists within me....
