Often I find myself trying to keep up with the pace others have set for me, only to find it is not what keeps me heading onward and upward. And oh too often I find that when Life is most difficult,is when it is time to unload and regroup, setting a pace that I can keep.
Somewhere along the line, I felt the need to please everyone and anyone, accept me that is, ending up in frustration and exhaustion. Which of course led me to a place of deep soul searching and questioning in order to find my answers...it was there, deep in the pits of my darkest moments within, I found the answers I had been looking for all along, but then following them was an entirely different story.
Somehow I managed to separate the stories that played in my head about me, from what stories I could create about me, and was able to find me. But the journey to me, was a long winding road up hill that gave me the experiences in the process called life, I needed to reach my greatest good...
Finally, I came to know that the pace I walk on my journey called life, is my place to choose how, where, why, what and when it will be...but the most difficult part of the journey I never expected to encounter was facing the judgments and reactions of others...
Hopefully as I continue to be me at the pace I choose best for me...I will be able to say...My Pace is MY Place.
You're so awesome! Thanks for the post.
