Last night I had the opportunity to join a cypher with 5 other brothers of which I was probably the second youngest. The group appeared to be a collection of varying backgrounds. As I was the newest person to join this little group which meets twice a month. I opted to sit back and absorb as much as I can. But of course knowing the Nature of my Energy I chimed in, in little time.
The Topic which was being discussed was meaning/purpose - why does it take men so long to find theirs? The question was interesting although not one that I personally had not thought of before time and again. As I tell people, that I know I did not become a man until I was about 33 years old. Now what this means is that I do not feel that I made the transition from boy to man until this time. In a sense I had not found my purpose/meaning. I have always known and have been comfortable about who and what I am, But my path has always been unclear. I did not know in which direction I was going. One of the Brothers in the group posed the question can we find our purpose and be happy without the involvement of Financial means? I believe you can. I honestly believe that I did. My inner peace came long before I had a since of financial peace. I am not going to sit here and lie to anyone. When I say financial Peace I mean the ability and the means to pay my bills monthly without worry. Now this does not mean that I am financially secure, it simply means I can pay the bills that I have. I have always believed that even without money I would find a way to survive and be happy. Growing up without a lot of money I learned to enjoy life without possessions. As I am older now and far from where I started I will say it is nice to be able to have possessions, but I know that they do not make me, and knowing this they will not break me.
All in all last nights session was enjoyable and enlightening. I look forward to the next.
