Читать книгу Finding Your True Life Purpose - Raymond Desmarais - Страница 6

We were all born to fully enjoy the purpose of human life; which is to prosper and live happily. Sadly most of us are not fulfilling that purpose.

From our earliest memories we can recall the supportive words of our parents, “you can become anything you want” and we believed them. Every child grows up believing that they are ten feet tall and bullet proof. Then something happens at a very early age that confuses and masks the person you where meant to be and you conform to what is considered normal and natural. But is it?

In these early years we naturally engage in activities that seem to come as extensions of some ingrained tendency to do so. We have no understanding of fear or of lack and pursue all our activities without any thought or misgivings. We just do, it just seems right, so we do what we do. In these early years we know no such thing as limitations, in-ability, uncertainty, doubts, natural laws. We just do and often get into trouble for doing what seemed like fun to us.

We experiment with everything that interests us and we are happy learning what is fun for us. At this early period in our lives; we begin to migrate to the things that we find to be fun and enjoyable. These things we enjoyed are still inside each of us, but it somehow got buried beneath all the parental training, discipline, schooling, peer pressure’s, culture, religious doctrine and all the other distractions of growing up.

All of these external influences in our formative years of life bombarded us with the insistence of someone elses’ idea of who and what we should be molded into. We inevitably comply, innocently loosing our own identity of who or what we could be in the process.

During these early years we spend so much time trying to please others; that we naturally forget that we were born with special interests and have traits and characteristics that were not supported and encouraged in us. This goes on through out our lives. Our inner genius has not yet been noticed by others.

You can probably remember getting into trouble with your parents and teachers for doing some things, that they discouraged you from engaging in. Somehow it did not seem right, that you should be in trouble for doing what ever it was that you were doing, and it hurt you. You were having fun, you were exploring new heights, your imagination was rampant, limitless, and colorful. You knew no fear only the challenge of finding new discoveries and testing them and yet you felt right doing it. This confusion created mind-blocks in the young mind and prevented personal growth within the individual as he/she grew.

The school system, parental influences, peer pressures, culture and religious dogma continue to adversely influence each of us, all through our years of education. There is still hope, that the person you were meant to be is still alive deep inside of you. The following chapters are designed to help you to re-discover and embrace your lost or hidden “Child Genius”.
