Humbowl - Spirituality, Personal Growth, Meditation, Higher Consciousness

You were born complete and whole. Society tells us otherwise, through advertisements, old fashioned beliefs, and structures. Telling us we need something external to complete us. Whether that be money, fame, accomplishments or praise. Soon this becomes our inner voice, encouraging us to look outward for fulfillment. Most of these beliefs about what needs to happen for you to feel happy and at peace were given to you. These are not your beliefs. Soon after discovering my authentic self underneath these conditioned thought patterns given to me by society, I created my own standard for peace and happiness: awareness.  So long as I notice the happiness and peace within, I will live in a state of peace and happiness. Notice that nothing out there will ever bring anything that is not already present within.
