The path to self discovery, can be a difficult, and sometimes never ending one. Like an archaelogical dig, Sarah reminds us that we first need to sift through layers of "dirt" (aka our past), to find what enlights our souls. She suggests that we look to our past, and remember those minor details - the ones that changed our way of thinking. Of course major events would have an impact on who we are today, but these may not hold the essence of our true selves.
And be prepared to get your hands dirty. And arm yourself with a pen, and of course your journal to record these diamonds that you are about to remember.
Go back through your life, start with your childhood. Focus in on what made you happy as a child. What were your favourite things, your dreams, your family who have since past. Then move into your teenage years, remember your first job, your first love...........................who did you admire?
Move ahead to your adult years, remember your decorating style in your first home. Do you still have traces of these in your current home?? Do they bring you joy?
When we live our lives authentically, we discover our true place in the world (Sarah - Feb 16th). Life tends to focus on the "shoulds" instead of the "coulds", and we loose our own unique self of self. Today is the day to start embracing these little pockets of joy, and placing them in the limelight, instead of having them burried under years of "dust".
