Life is made up of moments, of scenes that form the album of an existence. What makes up a particular life? Actions that are repeated over time. It is in the course of each day that we make our history. The great representatives of humanity have done great things from the everyday, from the daily work, it is the sum of their actions in the continuum of their time that makes them unforgettable, hence their memory. The decisions made are the ones that give life to that fabric called life.
OUR PERSONALITY.
From birth we all come into the world with particular characteristics, we are different, the reactions of a little one to its basic needs; the mothers of several children know it, they are all very different even if they are brothers; that particular form is the seed against which the personality will develop; it is the clay from which each one is made, then the children's experiences, the first contacts with the parents, with the family, the environment, will be the fertilizer that will nurture the ways in which the person will manifest himself and will find his expression in the world. This defines who each one is and how he meets others. In this process we are unconsciously perceiving what allows us to fit into the environment or not; From family and social beliefs, messages from the closest circles show us what is or is not allowed to us, be it to expand or restrict our identity. The world will be the terrain for the expression of a particular way of relating and responding to life.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
The formation of personality means that we are repeating over time certain forms of behavior, we are specializing and becoming skilled in specific expressions that somehow give us some kind of result, sometimes not so positive, by the way, we tend to pigeonhole and believe that we are only what we can see of ourselves, there are times that we can locate ourselves, in such a thing yes and in such a thing no, that expression can become the only personal option, avoiding or many times not even taking into account that there are many other denied, forgotten, simply not contemplated ways of being.
THE POSSIBILITY OF REALIZING THE POTENTIAL.
As its name implies, what is potentially, that is, what has not yet happened but could become, is precisely what we do not register as a natural expression of oneself, because we simply cannot find ways to carry it out, are those qualities that we have not explored in ourselves. In many cases we do not know that we have them, in others to express it requires work that we are not willing to do, and in some fear of failure prevents even the intention of proving it. However, they are and are a flow of energy awaiting realization.
LIGTH DARK.
To discover that we are much more than what we have learned about ourselves, is to face revealing the fantasy of ourselves as determined beings, there are negative characteristics that we should pay attention to, because they may be harming others or ourselves, having the courage to Realizing about it is another matter.
Discovering that there are possibilities of growth in ourselves that are not experienced, is a matter of going beyond what is known and daring to try, to discover, to expand the range of action beyond the status quo. That is the path of self-knowledge.
SELF-REALIZATION.
It is not a set of precepts, they are actions every day, actions to experience ourselves, actions to test ourselves, actions to meet the environment in a different way, they are possibilities that we create to recognize that we are not a finished product, but a developing process, that every day we can learn something else that transforms us, that in each relationship we can recognize something of ourselves that we must take into account, that in each circumstance something of us that did not have it in mind can come to the surface, self-realization is an everyday possibility, because in day to day life is in all its fullness, waiting for our response.
