Seek What Is Within

My high school graduation took place at John Carroll University. Several years ago, I had the honor of being one of the speakers at my high school graduation.  I spoke about my high school experiences--good ones and bad ones--and different emotions felt. I concluded my speech with the following words: From day one, they told us to remember to always "seek what is above".  As we head in different directions and move on with our lives, may I add:  Let us remember to always seek what is within. Since then, I have graduated with a couple business degrees, worked in the business world, and returned to school to become a career counselor and EAP (employee assistance program) counselor. Over time, I have learned that to 'seek what is within' is the start of a bigger process. In one of my first counseling classes, a professor showed us a YouTube video featuring comedian Michael Jr. In the video, Michael discusses the difference between ‘what’ and ‘why’.
