What are the 5 “D’s” of Self Discovery? Part 5
Welcome to the end of our discovery process. This, the final stop is Distillation, which means,
• the extraction of essential meaning or
• the most important aspects of something.
This is truly, the ultimate stopping point. When we have reached the point in our growth path where we can truly sift through, or distill down the lessons of our journey to their most essential, we have arrived. Upon arrival, you get to bask in what you now know; to live within the best version of you and see your place in life with authenticity. Once you have completed this process you know not just who you are, but more importantly, what you are. This is in my opinion one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to understand your essence. You have learned the value of vision, possibilities, space and awareness. You have learned to listen to your inner wisdom and knowing, to sort through what has value and meaning for you. From this point of knowing, you are truly free to be who and what you want and need to be as a fully aware human being.
Perhaps you have noticed this isn’t a list that will make you CEO or Citizen or the Year. It might help you to be those or many other things, but most importantly, it takes you into truly knowing yourself, the best gift of all.
To wrap this up, let me leave you with a simple illustration
Direction = Vision
Departure = Possibilities
Discovery = Presence or Time
Destination = Awareness
Distillation = Essence
Where are you in your journey through the 5 “D’s”?
