The search for meaning: My journey to wholeness.


Defining wholeness: what it means to me?

Wholeness is a complex term, people could interpret it differently. To one wholeness could mean feeling content with one's life, despite the challenges one may be going through. To another wholeness could mean finding joy or happiness, being successful, it could mean achieving lifelong goals. There are many interpretations of this term, from superficial to detailed and profound definitions.
But what does it mean to me, what does it mean in the context of 'The Journal of a Seeking Soul'?
Wholeness is a state of being aware. Being aware of yourself and others, aware of the spiritual realm and the physical.
 Wholeness is about finding purpose and you would think that this is a contradiction as the term wholeness speaks to a full picture, a picture of completion, but I truly believe that no matter how hard you try to work on yourself, you'll always feel that there is so much more you could have done, that there's still something missing, that something could be better and thus never feeling complete or whole. and I guess 'wholeness' is being aware of that, being content with it but still in pursuit of finding that missing piece. 
I believe that we were not created just to 'exist' instead we are all created with a God-given purpose to fulfill, I believe that nothing is just 'as is' what do I mean by that? You were not created as you are for no reason, the qualities you have, and the characteristics you have all work together to make you you, and these specific traits should all work together to fulfill the purpose that has been set for you. Going back to the term wholeness, it is the process of discovering all these things. Wholeness is a journey and not a destination.

A little back story here; part of the reason I started this blog is to find my purpose, it is me on a journey to wholeness, but I do not want to do it alone so this blog is to plant a seed in someone that will encourage them to take that first step in this journey -the first step is having your eyes opened, knowing that a journey awaits-  and we could potentially help one another on this journey to self-discovery. This blog is to create a sense of community where we share our experiences and learn from each other.

The powerlessness in love

“The pain of unreturned love is a reminder that love is a gift, not a transaction.” – Unknown There's this term I have recently stumbled upon that I haven't been able to shake off:  unrequited love . Sometimes called one-sided love— it’s when one person has strong feelings for someone who doesn’t feel the same way in return. And I think that's exactly where I find myself, loving someone who doesn't love me back, or maybe they do, but it's not in the way I need, not with the same clarity, not with the same depth. It's hard to say, all I know is that I'm loving into silence, into uncertainty, into the unknown. This is a kind of love that is not loud, it's not demanding, and it does not ask for too much. It just stays quiet, it's patient, and as time goes on, it begins to feel like a slow surrender, a powerlessness you never expected to feel. It's not dramatic either; it's just...waiting. Hoping, praying, and sitting with the ache of love that ...

Logic vs Feelings

  "Thinking and feeling are inextricably linked." ~Leonard  Mlodinow Sometimes in life, we have to make difficult decisions, and in those instances, logic seems to clash with our feelings, and the line between what should be done and what we want is blurred. I have recently found myself in the same situation where I kept contemplating what seemed like an obvious decision. I found myself facing a decision I had been through before—choosing whether or not to let someone back into my life who had repeatedly hurt me. Despite a history of pain, inconsistency, and broken trust, my feelings for him hadn’t fully faded. I turned to people I trust, and they all gave me the same advice: don’t go back. Logically, it made sense. The pattern was clear. And yet, I still found myself torn—because my heart wasn’t aligned with what my head and everyone else was telling me. I loved him. And even though that love had been tested more times than I can count, it was still there, quietly shapi...
