Are you willing to lose everything?

Even when you think you have nothing, you eventually realize there are things you came to rely on. A good friend, someone you love more than yourself, your drug of choice, such as your favorite food, a favorite television show, your car, or a special place you go to hide out. It doesn't matter there is always something you don't want to lose. Warning! you must be prepared for the possibility that you could lose some of those things. You have to go into your journey realizing and accepting of the loss. To go on this path you must be willing to destroy the old version of yourself and your life as you know it in order to rebuild, regroup and transform. You must be strong because everything will begin changing and you will not be able to keep up with the changes until you learn how

There are specific key questions you must be willing to ask yourself, should you truly decide to embark on your path of self-discovery. The questions will range from easy to difficult. In time, you will begin to understand and accept the difficult ones with a new level of awareness. It will be as if you were aware of having the answers, prior to having the questions.

Are you willing to abandon your comfort zone?

Regardless of your current state of mind, you have a comfort zone. There are certain people and situations or behaviors that you have come to rely on and often take for granted. It doesn't matter if your comfort zone is comprised of positive or negative influences, repetitive behaviors of all kinds can become familiar to us even if we dread them. For example, a controlling person who makes you miserable and destroys your confidence and self-esteem becomes a comfort zone because of the human addiction to familiarity. Everything that comprises a level of comfort to you is subject to be lost or abandoned so that you may be open to your self-discovery process. To follow the path, you will come to realize what it is that you actually require and what it is that you merely want. Your former life-long beliefs regarding yourself and how you have always felt towards and perceived yourself and others to be will be challenged. In short, you will be questioning every minor and major aspect and element of your life. Be prepared and opened to the probability that many of your former beliefs will change, be altered or even dismissed all together. Keep in mind that some of your old ways of believing may hold you back, while others lose their meaning especially in the beginning of your journey. Self-discovery requires you let go of the familiar and leave your security blankets behind. In time, you will understand fear of the unknown is what kept you from discovering your own personal truth.

Are you willing to redefine yourself?

Beyond our comfort zone is our personal belief system of who we actually are. To go on a road of self-discovery, you must be willing to redefine and allow yourself to change and evolve. Any of the standards, perceptions and judgments you have formerly placed on yourself must now become negotiable. Who you are, what you planned to do with your life, your standards of success, your beliefs and relationships with people will come into question. You cannot truly follow the path of self-discovery if you are unwilling to question and re-examine your learned beliefs, personal history and the way you know yourself to exist. You must be willing to accept change. Old beliefs and former attitudes make us feel safe and secure, but at the same time, they limited who we truly are.

Are you willing to go where you never have gone or where you feared going before?

When you first begin to follow the path of self-discovery, you will find yourself facing things that you would rather shy away from. They may seem foolish, ridiculous or dangerous. If your inner self calls to you to follow these paths, you need to follow them, in order to understand and translate them. If you limit what you are willing to do and experience on the road to self-discovery, you will not get very far. You must abandon fear, or at the very least learn to control it. Make a commitment and go for it. Fear acts to protect us from pain, when in reality it is merely keeping us from growing and evolving.

Your true birth is on the horizon.

When you lose yourself will you be able to find yourself again?

You will lose yourself during this process. The old version of your self will gradually phase from existence. You will forget who you were and question who you are becoming. Memories will become like strange lessons and at times you will feel oddly detached from things that once meant a great deal to you. This is the re-interpretation. In order to survive on the path, you will need to re-interpret everything you have learned and come to believe in. You must be willing and able to re-interpret. This will hurt. It will hurt a lot. Then, one day, you will come to appreciate the pain and see it as your teacher. Loss, defeat and suffering will become your allies. Once this happens and you are able to process all the new information, you will have become stronger than you ever imagined possible. Once you have truly discovered yourself, no one can ever take it away from you again. Your inner peace and spiritual connection will become absolute and your former attachment to many material things in life will seem petty, pointless or possibly even meaningless. Remember to exercise your courage muscles prior to embarking on your personal journey to find your organic self and soul.
