Living In My Own World… Or AM I?
Yesterday I received the following email from a new reader (welcome Gina!) and felt inspired to answer it here in case others out there have similar questions… Here goes:
Someone at work keeps telling me I’m living in my own world (?) I don’t get it, so i searched online and up came your site! You have a beautiful soul. Can you tell me what it means to live in our own world? is it good?
Also, about “the only message you’ll ever need“. That is so cool. How do you tell someone or give that message to people?
long live happiness.

First of all, Gina, thanks for the kind words and thanks for reading!
For me, it’s like this:
In the beginning (of time) I would get frustrated because I felt like I didn’t fit in or that people didn’t understand me… As I wrote in my little introduction text on the sidebar, I always did what I felt was right (a typical Indigo) and yet somehow my thoughts, opinions and dreams of a better world, just didnt seem to please society around me… I was pretty young when I realized that I was alone in this; that me and the ‘real world’ were just not on the same page… and I have to admit: it was tough.
Then, as the years went by, and I grew to know myself more, I slowly came to the conclusion that I liked myself for who I was and that I was sick and tired of trying to adjust myself to fit “inside the box.” I became proud of the fact that I was different and that my views on life were different. Because if following my heart meant that I was living in my own world, well then gosh darn it: SO BE IT!
That was then.
What is happening now, however, (and this took me a while to comprehend) is that in the past 10 years or so, especially due to the age of Internet, I have been gradually awakening to the fact that maybe I’m not so alone in this after all! So many people out there seem to be craving the same things as I, fighting for what they believe in, being the change that they want to see in the world and educating and inspiring others about it (through personal weblogs, sites like Zaadz, etc…). So many more than I ever thought possible… I mean, you people are EVERYWHERE!
And thanks to all of you, I realize now that I am not alone. None of us are alone, because we are all in this together…
Sorry, I didn’t mean to get all sentimental on you (ok, well maybe I did…) So anyway, back to your other question:
…about “the only message you’ll ever need“. That is so cool. How do you tell someone or give that message to people?
Well first of all, I’m so glad you asked this, because it shows that you care. It shows that you have what it takes to make a difference in this world. So how do you tell others that you see them as they really are? How do you spread that love, that healing?
It’s simple:
By first seeing yourself for Who You Really Are. Even when others do not. Especially when others do not. Because to see this in yourself is to change the world.
(Thanks, Gina, for crossing my path…)
