on feeling empowered

Feeling empowered. Those forty pounds lost might just have something to do with it. Or not. I've never felt stronger and more on top of things than I do these days. I have come into myself. My opinions are my own. I stand firmly on my principles and beliefs, and while I admire people in high places, I refuse to be a sellout.

In the end, my own beliefs and experiences have guided me and continue to do so throughourt my life. And I will refuse to be a sycophant. or a brain-washed follower. Did I mention I question everything? and why shouldn't I? You only get one shot at this think called LIFE and you are entitled to question, to challenge authority, to not leave one single stone unturned in your quest for greatness, in your strive for perfection.

Yes, I have come into myself. Tens of thousands of miles away from home, away from my extended family's nurturing and guidance, I have found myself, coming into my own, birthing the new creation of self.

Next time we call a wandering soul "lost", we might just be kind enough to consider that that soul has actually found him or herself...and take a time to ponder on the greatness of that momentuous event.
