MINDFUL JOURNEY, MARMORA, ON
WHY AM I HERE?
From the moment we could talk we began asking questions in order to learn about the world around us. As we grew one
question undoubtedly came to mind... "Why am I here?” Depending on the beliefs of our parents and culture, the answer
received would vary. The following is a condensed explanation of my truth.
The amazing part of us that makes us unique is our spirit. It is that invisible energy that communicates with our cells brings
our body to life and as energy can never be destroyed but transformed. We came to this world in this body so that we
might join with others to have a human experience in order to evolve in mind, body, and spirit.
It is through life experiences that we gain a deeper knowledge of love, compassion, gratitude and forgiveness. There are
times when we need the help of others to move forward and times we are helping someone else. We could also find
ourselves travelling the path alone. There will be leaders great and small, others will be workers, and then there are those
who will seemingly lose their way.
Ultimately, it is up to each one of use to discover our purpose, our lessons and take responsibility for our own souls’ journey
and in that way discover what is true to use. It is through this discovery we can answer the question, “Why am I here?”
Once we understand our truth, our path will become clearer and our soul’s journey can truly begin.
