Discovery

" Life isn't about finding yourself. Life's about creating yourself."

- George Bernard Shaw

How do you personally create yourself? Truly create yourself, not just 'find' yourself? What's the difference? 

For me finding myself is the static act of bringing myself back to center, my zen space in the chaos of the outside world. The place where I know I can find joy, peace, and contentment. Whereas creating myself is an ongoing process. It is the dynamic art of discovering how to bring new joys and new feelings of peace and contentment into my life. 

Without this step, for me, life appears stagnant. True,  life can be just as fulfilling and wonderful without this step, but what I have come to find, in my life, is that life seems a little brighter...a little lighter...and I have noticed myself using my  'wondering eyes of a child' more and more in my daily living, not just the extraordinary moments of life. 

What brings you back to center? Gives you greater feelings of joy, peace, and contentment? Both are wonderful questions, always worth revisiting over and over again...
