Be at the prime of yourself and not just the prime of your your life.

This is one blog post I have been dragging to work on for months now. I just did not have an idea of how I wanted to tackle this topic. Well, even as I am writing this, I am still not certain yet how I want you, the reader, to receive it. But then again, how you receive it will be dependent on where you currently are, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. I have come to appreciate the fact that we all receive things differently and how we are positioned plays a huge role in how we receive things. I pretty much want you and I to work on being the best people we can be, not to anyone else but ourselves. Be the best people for us. Be at the prime of ourselves.

Thank you

I guess that introduction worked, you are still here. Thank you. Your presence here means a lot. In my previous post, I speak about how our past experiences have shaped the way we are now. It made me consider all the “clichés” I disregarded which were the very principles that I should have embraced to get ahead. So here is the question I am posing to both you and I, how do get to be at the prime of ourselves? Not of our lives, but ourselves. At any point, your life can take a favourable turn and be at a point where everything is exactly as you want. There are moments where you could still be hoping things would work in your favour. Both these moments do not define the totality of the person you are. These are circumstances that most probably somebody else in the world is facing. How do we get to be at the prime of ourselves? Are you at the prime of yourself?

What are the odd?

I believe that it is possible for you and I to be at the prime of ourselves. Being content independent of the state of our lives. This I say being fully cognisant of our quite different belief systems. Speaking of which, what do you believe about yourself and your life? Do you believe you can be at the prime of yourself (not life)? How did the caterpillar thrive as a caterpillar before it became a butterfly? Being at the prime of ourselves does not mean that we do not want the best things this life has to offer. How are we in the process of becoming what we desire? What is our thought life like? How do perceive what seems like a failure, obstacle, and embarrassment? Do you think being at the prime of yourself is a farfetched dream?

Are you aware of yourself?

I have learned that on our way to becoming what we desire to be, it is also important that we become aware of where we are. Totally self-aware of who we are, you know, our flaws and triumphs. Are you aware of your daily wins? Have you forgiven yourself for what seems like your shortcomings? Being at the prime of ourselves requires us to be truly aware of the people we are. When we are aware of who we are, no one can use our flaws against us, no one can use our wins to flatter us. We are at the prime of ourselves. This by no means suggests that we should not be corrected or that we should not receive compliments well, it simply means that we are aware of who we are.

Reflection

Do you believe in being at the prime of yourself? Is there such a reality for you? I am not talking about being dismissive to our surroundings, being aware of what is happening, and still maintain being at the prime of yourself? How do you plan on being at the prime of yourself?
