There may be no more Ponce De Leons out there because the outer world has been explored, but there is an infinite and amazing continent inside ourselves. Thanks for stopping by.

For me, these questions still come up in various circumstances and can attach to particular settings as well (am I loved by that special someone I like?... do I fit in with these people?... do I want to achieve this because I want peanut-gallery-acceptance, love, fame, etc?). Maybe everything boils down to being good enough (ego) and loved (compassion). In my life, it helped me to accept that I will never truly know myself (and have answers for ALL of the important questions). There is a fulfillment that comes from this for me (maybe through the release of the burden that I may some day know who I am). Instead, I try and associate myself with principals and values that I let guide my life on a daily basis. This way, the answers come much more easily and I feel myself sort of becoming the embodiment of those principals and values over time. While I feel I still have a unique self/soul/spirit, it has become more important to me how it acts on the world and, through the action, create a satisfying identity.

I have finally, after many years, been able to answer both of them in the affirmative. Some of us are late bloomers, but I agree that it didn't happen until it was supposed to, until I was ready. Thanks for the thought-provoking post. Judy Hey Rachel,

Boy, those two questions are powerful enough to boil life down to its essence. I have finally, after many years, been able to answer both of them in the affirmative. Some of us are late bloomers, but I agree that it didn’t happen until it was supposed to, until I was ready. Thanks for the thought-provoking post.
