Crisis

Does it take a crisis to know yourself? I have said many times that I would not be who I am today had it not been for all the bumps along the way.  I lived in crisis mode for a few decades. Now I know that all these crisis and struggles got me looking inward. Would I have done so had my life been easier and smoother? I don't honestly know the answer to that. I believe that for me, this is the way it had to be. This is the way I agreed to learn my lessons.  To answer my initial question...does it take a crisis to know yourself? I would say not necessarily.  But then, a crisis to me, may not be a crisis to you. Hmmm...so maybe the question of what is a crisis needs to be answered first.  I would say the definition  of a crisis is probably pretty subjective.  So, I think living with awareness is certainly the beginning of a personal quest to knowing yourself.

As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world today, think about crisis.
