Everyone has their story. We all have different families, different home towns, different talents, different ages, different experiences, different genders, different music tastes, and even different languages. No one in the world is the same person as you are. We are all our own unique version of our selves, with a special gift that was given us to when we were born.

We come to this Earth with a purpose, and it is up to you or not if you ever want to discover your hidden secret. Two attributes that we all have that are the same is that we are all one from the source, and we all have a story. Our story is our story although. We can’t compare our stories to others.

If I could name my story today it would be called Born Again at 29. 

Never think that you can’t change your life around because where you sit today or because of past circumstances. Anybody has the possibility to change everything around no matter what age you are. At no point in anyones life is it too late to change things for the better. There is no point in anyones life that things are too bad or complex to change things for the better either. The only force that will stop one from opening up the door to a better life is fear and ego.

I have gone over trusting your journey and listening to you inner voices a bit. Those are two HUGE components of opening up the new door. ‘God’ is always there for you no matter how much bad you have done. Once ‘god’ sees you attempting to make a new life for your self ‘he’ will be there to guide you and make sure that everything is alright. Things may not always be easy and you might not live the same way as before, but remember everything will be alright. You will get through whatever you need to get through and you will live a happy life. At anytime in one’s life are they able to be reborn.

Born again at 29 : A whole new world 

Typical Day 6 months ago: Wake up; in a bad mood. Just another Wednesday morning. Make my breakfast and creep up on instagram and run to work. Finally work up enough energy to get up to get to the gym. Force my self through a workout and come home and eat dinner.

Typical Day Today: Wake up to see the sun rise. Pray, meditate, and go for a walk. Write in my journal and observe my surroundings while eating breakfast. Fully engage in whatever activity I have planned for the day. Read during breaks in between. Go to the gym or do yoga, and then eat dinner. Relax and write and read some more and then go to sleep.

A WHOLE NEW WORLD

You have to ask yourself what is important in life? That is how I reached my epiphany and my point of awakening. I had everything that I thought was important. An apartment, lived in an amazing city, a nice car, lots of designer items, went on party vacations, always had enough money to get by and do whatever I wanted, and had friends to party with and ‘enjoy’ life with. September of 2014 I had a life changing conversation with my friend. It was after we had a day at the beach, I felt like something was defiantly missing from my life. I was so sick of the  conversations with myself like, “What am I doing with my life.” “ Well I’m in an unstaisfying job to get paid in order to pay my bills .” It was after those deep conversations I thought to my self this life is so unfulfilling.

I thought, “I do not want this anymore, I know there is more to life and I am worth more than this.” I told my self by next year everyone was going to be in shock. I was on point, there will be lots to talk about this year! When me and my friend had the conversation about life and what I loved, I had no idea. That is when I discovered these books by Alan Watts. One inspirational book led to the next and the deeper I got into exploring my spiritual side.

All of a sudden a course literally found me and I was able to attend it. Once you open the doors to a spiritual path things start to unfold in a mysterious way. God starts relocating you to where he knows you are at your best. One thing led to a next and I grew little by little during my time attending these courses, getting more involved into my spirituality. I started to work less in the environment I didn’t care to be in and explore more about meaningful things in life.

I started loosing all fears and wanted to do things I never would have imagined doing before. I still had one obstacle blocking me from flying though and that was my lavish lifestyle and clinging to extreme materialism. Drinking and partying will get you no where in life. Especially when they are part of your almost everyday life. After I had the epiphany I needed to get clean and restart my life, is when I grew my wings to fly.

I misjudged how fast I was able to fly although. Nothing happens over night. Once you surrender to all the obstacles holding you back, you are now in ‘god’s’ hands. I knew I had to go to someplace that would teach me how to live again. My experience during these courses has been unreal. It has done exactly what I hoped for it to do and that has been my preschool into my new spiritual life.

You cant expect to change the way you were living and for your new career path and destiny to appear overnight. Life is about enjoying the journey to get exactly where you need to be.

This is what a spiritual rebirth does. You become pure and whole again. It is like you are born once again at whatever age you are at. Nothing in the past matters at this point because you are pure and reborn. You have nothing holding you back, and the world is yours. The death of your ego leads to the birth of new opportunities. You never know what you love if your mind is holding you back.  You are a fresh new person willing to look at the world like it is new to you again.

This is a courageous move and it takes honoring your self and trust to take place. Just trust in my story that yours will be similar. 14 months ago I would have never thought that I would be sitting here writing this out. Writing heals me while helping others. This is only one thing that has been hidden from me for all these years, I had forgotten how sharing my story would inspire and help others to heal.

There are so many amazing attributes to each of us. Your ego and your obstacles have them hidden behind the veil. The more you take time to take an inner trip the more you discover the treasures of your being. You will discover who you are and why you are here. Life will become more blissful and things will begin to fold into place. Life will also bring you more peace and love to hold in your heart. The happier of a person you will become, and this world will become your playground.

Don’t be scared of the journey; we all have a story and we all have the ability to start the next chapter. Make your story an interesting story. I know before I had this awakening if I would have seen one of these stories I would have thought, “oh yeah right this could never be me. ” But it is, and it could be any one of us. We all have the potential to be reborn and live a beautiful full life.
