Our Ancestors Hold Clues

We inherit our biological and emotional DNA. Our ancestors, meaning our blood family, hold the clues about the essence of who we are and the patterns we may experience in life.

I have always had a passion to understand my roots and story. My family and relatives have been willing to share the stories and experiences throughout the years. We are the product of the life that we build for ourselves, however there is an unbreakable link to our ancestry. If you ever wondered why there are some situations that happened to you (positive or challenging) and you cannot find the explanation…. Then stop and find out if you are the first one experiencing this in your family. Frequently, you are going to find out that is not the case. This can go even beyond your great grandparents…

As we inherit the color of our skin, eyes, height, and other physical characteristics, our emotional DNA dictates how we would embrace life, if left unexplored. The way we approach relationships, work, outlook of life, decision making, mindset and many others reveal our ties. Becoming aware of them allows us to choose what we keep and what we can change. It is an empowered way of living and transforming ourselves.

My family and I have gone through a transformation process where we have grown to be tighter, stronger with a pure sense of solidarity, unconditional love, kindness and a deep care for each other. We strive to enjoy and support ourselves in simple and more complex situations.

I find myself behaving in the same way with my friends and at work. My tendency is wanting to bring people around me along while improving and growing together.

I am blessed to have my family as my foundation of who I am today. They serve as the pillars of the life I have built for myself, how I connect with other people and the deep sense of giving back and leaving a legacy of goodness in the world.

Have you stopped to reflect on your family roots and stories that have shaped who you are today? Are they helping you move forward or are they holding you back?
