Mixed Perception

Authenticating your life: Part 1

When I was a small child, I used to lie in bed and wonder where my real life was when it would begin. For whatever reason, my early life, chaotic and misconstrued as it was felt completely comfortable. Looking back on it now I realize the reason I felt so comfortable was because I was able to separate external views of my self worth from my own internal view of my own self-worth leading too the lack of need to validate myself through external sources.
I think that a person's main need for external validation is that one primary human urge to find ones ultimate purpose.
If you spend your whole life listening to other people in search for the answers that should be found from within yourself,  you will lead a life in a tangled web of alternating views that may never lead towards self realization and understanding.
If you find it hard do you know where to start in your journey towards authenticating your life start with the simple questions and ask yourself these as many times as needed until you understand the full perspective of what the answers really are.
Would spending more time nurturing the qualities that make me a good friend take a significant step towards leading a more authentic life?
What purpose does money actually serve in my life? Is it the sense of security that it brings that I value more or the pleasure that it provides?
When I have a creative idea, what are the necessary steps in seeing it through? How good am i with commitment and what seems to block me from completing the tasks I so dearly aspire to finish?

Doorway to a better you.

Ask yourself: Do I really know what I'm trying to accomplish?
Have I ever really stepped back and looked to see if the actions I have taken in life are actually leading towards an end result or goal that interests me?
Is my current lifestyle benefiting other people while working towards creating a positive image for mankind as a whole?
Will I be remembered when I'm gone?
did I do everything in my power to pave the  right path for generations to come?
As you ask yourself these questions and think to yourself for the answers take a brief second and wonder does any of it really matter?
