What Are You Really Seeking?

Seek, and you shall find.

Is it really that simple? Maybe.

Over the years, I’ve sought love, wealth, beauty, and status. And at different points in my life, I believed I had found each. But the feeling of fulfillment never lasted- sometimes just a few hours or maybe days, sometimes months, maybe a year or two and then it would fade. Looking back, I now see what stayed was a sense of confusion…. and more seeking.

At one point, I used to think I was just seeking the wrong things. But now I wonder if, underneath it all, I was just really seeking to feel whole. ✨

Wholeness is that deep, grounded peace that most of us innately feel and know can’t be found in surface-level achievements. It can’t be bought or chased. It has to be experienced.

Maybe that’s what mystics like Rumi, St. Teresa of Avila, Rabia al-Adawiyya, Guru Nanak, and Lao Tzu were pointing to: A way of being where Love, Abundance, and Beauty aren’t things we strive for- they become the ground we walk on.

I’m still human and seeking will be part of my nature, yet I now seek differently. ✨

I seek love— not the fairy tale kind I grew up with, but the kind that Rumi writes of- the kind that dissolves the self and opens the soul.

I seek wealth in slow mornings, deep conversations, and eyes that meet mine with Truth.

I seek beauty in the spaces between, in the people I cherish.

And I’ve let go of any idea of status. It was never mine to hold anyway.

On this new path, the quality of my experiences has shifted; they feel more grounded, and less fleeting. Even what I once considered small or ordinary moments now hold a quiet richness.

And in those moments where I fully show up with honesty, depth, and presence, it truly feels like a kind of wholeness. ✨

So yes, what you seek, you will find.
But perhaps the real question is: Are you seeking from the surface… or from the soul?
