Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself and how I'm most different from my parents.
This Tuesday was my birthday. Congratulations welcome on social media and in the comments!
Spiritual awakening and the material world: My difference in thinking
Lately I have become more and more aware of how my spiritual awakening is reflected in my daily life. When I look at my parents, I notice how focused they are on the material world and external success. They may sound like completely different worlds, but it seems that my path is becoming more and more divorced from theirs.
While they prioritise the material, such as financial stability, social status and achievements, I have started to feel a deeper connection to the inner world. For me, it is not all about what I have, but about who I am. I feel that true happiness lies in spiritual growth, in finding inner peace, in accepting oneself and others without judgement.
Their attention is often focused on the outside world: how to present ourselves to the world, what others think, what we need to achieve to be worthy of respect. All this, however, seems to me to be a temporary moment, which does not bring long-term fulfilment. Even when you achieve these goals, there are still voids that cannot be filled with things. For me, I have realised that things like personal growth, spiritual connection and finding inner balance are important.
Of course, sometimes I am overwhelmed by the feeling that I do not fit in with their world view. Sometimes they don't understand why I have this need to explore spiritual practices, meditations or simply being in the moment, without the constant rush to succeed. But on the other hand, I understand that their values were shaped in a world that valued material achievements above all, and where they were imbued with the idea that happiness was only attainable through external circumstances.
But now that I am more focused on inner values, I have realised that life is not only about what you achieve, but also about how you feel in your own skin, how you grow as a person and how you connect with others on a deeper level.
Through this spiritual awakening, I have learned to let go of worrying about external pressures and focus on my inner truth. This is liberating. I now seek peace, love and understanding, not material things that may never bring me lasting happiness. This is the path I have chosen - and as I look ahead, I realise that this is the right path for me.
Although my world view is different from my parents', I am grateful to have the opportunity to walk my own path and explore all that truly fulfils me.
My addition:
Lately I'm realising that I'm just not that different from my parents, because I've gone from seeing the world differently myself to literally seeing the world differently from them.
Mum: stood up for me when my grandmother thought I was mentally disturbed for 12 hours because I was explaining to my mum about how I was messing with the souls of deceased people and animals. And the other day my mum said to her, "There's a programme on the radio right now about how my daughter is not mentally disturbed! She told her and since then she hasn't said a word more about it to her grandmother.
Dad: He said in the car the other day that he understands more and more what I mean by not caring what other people do. And when other people are fucking me up all the time or telling me what I'm doing and what they think is wrong. He has even learned to use the right swear words without really offending anyone, but would still tell them to leave me alone if they don't like something! And that the world really is a cruel place and that we have to fight.
So I have not corrected my own parents, they have become more like me not like them and now my eyes are more focused on what is best for him and for me. And of course my mother. That is what I wanted to add.
So that was the end of my post I really enjoyed writing it no artificial intelligence is helping me a lot I admit soon a post about it. See you in 4 days. For more of my content subscribe to the newsletter.
