WHO ARE YOU?

Written By Gayle Applegate

Who Are You?

In a world where people, time, and events rush past in a blur of activity, you may lose yourself

amid the moment.

Stop. Breathe. And for just a moment…close your eyes.

Know that you are loved beyond measure or compare. For you were created to love and be

loved, first and foremost. Whomsoever you choose to love, be they a spouse or partner, children,

other family members, or even the world at large along with the beautiful things contained

therein, are a part of the plan or process enabling you to forge an identity uniquely your own.

There is no other like you. Your experiences, good or bad, belong to you. Your thoughts and

emotions, although entirely sharable, remain yours. Your strengths are forged from your

weaknesses. Your joys spring forth from the tears of your sorrows. And your capacity to love

emerges from the depths of having known or experienced the loss of feeling unloved.

But remember, you are loved.

In the great expanse of space and time, throughout the vast universe of that which remains

undiscovered, you will find yourself amid the struggles and accomplishments. Because with

giving and receiving love, like a child, you will learn once more to live in this moment while

tomorrow waits on tomorrow. The good and bad will come and go, but love endures forever. And

because you are loved, the child within will grow and flourish into who you are meant to

become.

As with life and love, the process never ends.
