The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back.

The impact of that fall is why we have so many people with low self esteem and terrible identity crises.

Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual.

 The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value. That inner questioning and probing that requires an answer.

Sadly many people do not have the answer to that inner question.

They then turn to things, all kinds of external things and invite them to come in and answer that inner man. Unfortunately the externals can't do so.

They lack the capacity to answer those questions and the individual in a bid to either answer or silence that question seeks more of these externals and at every point they keep saying No, we don't have the answers.

The individual is now confused, what do I do? Then he sights another human like him who seems to have found this answer.

He seems to exude some strange peace. He notices that one is not running after the externals as such, yet he's fine. Life seems to smile at him at every turn. Even when life hits hard this person has stability.

Then the one seeking answers wonders how his brother got there, but instead of trying to know how, he begins to employ the instrument called envy.

He attacks his fellow at every given point. Even where seems have some advantage over his fellow, he seeks to bring him down or bury him as the case maybe.

And even after doing that he still doesn't feel better. Infact it gets worse. The question becomes louder.
He then realizes sometimes too late that no one had the answer to his peace except him.

That the answer to that question asked lies right inside of him not outside.

That that question is God saying "hey see me here. You carry my tag. My signature is on you. That fingerprint no one else has is my stamp of approval on you".

That's where the answer is. Not outside because you are product and you need your Manufacturer to spell out who you are. Another product can't do that.
What is troubling you?

Why do you feel small and threatened by others?

 Who told you, you're less?

Who told you someone else holds the key to your happiness or success?

Go back inside. The ANSWER is right in your inner CHAMBERS.

You're born to LIVE FROM YOUR INSIDE OUT NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND.
