How we see ourselves......

    How do you see yourself?  I have not really thought about this subject much but today it is at the forefront of my mind.  I have a friend, Mo, who introduced me to Reiki, meditation and yoga.  Reiki a eastern art of balancing the chakras in your body.  Chakras come from ancient Hindu text and there are 6:  Crown, Brow, throat, heart, sacral and root.  They all represent different things and when they are out of balance our bodies feel out of sorts for lack of a better description.
     Anyway, I am committed to a new and healthy lifestyle which includes physical, mental and emotional health.  This new lifestyle includes a rejection of a lot of western practices.  The first of which was anti-depressants.  So I have been going regularly for therapy and Reiki sessions.  Today, I was introduced to a new Reiki Master and I was quite apprehensive and not feeling like it was going to do a whole lot of good but I meditated this morning and made a conscious effort all day to stay open to the experience.
     In talking prior to the session, Gail shared that she had done an energy reading on me based on some of the information that I gave her.  She said that I had leadership qualities and a maturity that was yet to be realized.  She also said that I was destined for greatness if I was willing to accept it.  This really surprised me.  Destined for greatness really?  Me?  I think not, I said to myself.  But I continued to listen.  She shared a lot of things about me that were true and things that were deeply rooted and hidden from the rest of the world.  Psychic your thinking, right?  I don't think so but very in tune. The things she shared were not things that she could have Googled my name to find out and they were things that Mo does not know so could not have been shared in that manner either.  So, I was totally intrigued at this point.
    This got me to thinking about how we see ourselves.  Do we each see ourselves as people who are capable of greatness?  Are we willing to consider that there could be wonderful things in our future and our we willing to accept them?  How does one achieve greatness?  I don't have the answers but I do believe that we all have the power to do great things and be great people but we have to believe it ourselves. 
     I love the Black-Eyed Peas.  There is nothing that I would rather listen to than this group.  On the new album, there is a bonus track called Own It.  It has become my new theme song.  It begins with

"All my dreamers, all my believers, tomorrow leaders, this your chance. Everybody is a star; it don't matter who you are.  Keep on reaching for the stars cause it ain't crazy as it seems. This is your chance to own it, this is your chance, you moment, this your chance don't blow it."  (Will I. Am, 2010) I don't know about you guys but I do not want to blow it.
