How I found God.

I believe we are all blessed with special attributes and abilities. It is second nature to you since your birth because that's how you were born. Finding God is a journey and once you get there, you are considered to having found God. There are many types of people in this world that have something to offer emotionally, mentally and physically. For example, a kid prodigy was born with his traits because he was born that way, they're in his genes and that's just how it works in life. His passion may be helping people save lives but his natural talents are that of solving mathematical problems and theories. As for me, I was a bright child and I consider myself I still am. I just started college and I am already loving it; I'm making good grades and meeting lots of new interesting people. My father left me as a kid but he would come visit every now and then whenever he left. Emotionally hurt by this, his wife and 2 sons suffered as the result of this. I resorted to drugs, hung out with the wrong crowd and got into all sorts of trouble. After I hit rock bottom, I had an awakening. This is where one asks him or herself "what is the meaning of life, really?" You could say that I found God. I started remembering my childhood and how the good times were back then. I remembered how good my personality was and how ambitious I was. Today I am a product of what I have created; a life for myself. I have many many friends and the willpower of a growing adult. I believe every day is a new learning experience. I have come to the conclusion that the meaning of life is to expand your knowledge and consciousness to an extend that would not seem humanly possible. But remember, in order for this to happen, you must first find God. I cannot tell you how this happens but I can tell you it will happen sooner or later if you're still unsuccessful. You must fill in the blanks; something that only you can figure out yourself.
