What am I becoming?

Reading Time: < 1 minute Monday Meditation What am I becoming?   Every thought that you feed with your emotions, is a step in your Becoming. Every choice you make, directs the route of your Becoming. Every emotion you cradle and channel, flows to your Becoming. Every creation that you offer the world is your Becoming. Every new lesson you learn or refuse, is a point in the grid of your Becoming. Every single point of attention you hold consistently is a cell in your Becoming.   And thus you arrive at your adulthood, then at your maturity, then at your old age. And who you are at each stage is the direct consequence of your actions and creations. And you become that.   You are a frequency, an energy pattern vibrating as it moves, flows or congeals. And that pattern is created now… was created yesterday… is created every day. This is your Becoming.   Now ask yourself: What am I becoming? Click To Tweet   Send to Kindle
