Biography: Ceasar Smith

Born unto a diligent educator and skilled tradesman, my mother and father instilled a great work ethic into myself and my three brothers. Raised in a working class family I experienced many of life's illusory setbacks and setups but consider them all joy as I continue my triumph on this journey. I like many others grew up thinking I could fabricate my own joy and happiness externally and find the true meaning of my own life. Although many say, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" I learned over the years that imitating and mimicking another person's life wasn't what God intended for me. All through school and well into my adult life I found myself trying to find life's purpose for me trying to be someone I was not destined to be. As I look back and reflect I see that the best times of my life were when I was just being me undisturbed. I don't discount any of my past experiences because those are the things that made me an even better me. All the failed and troubled relationships, lost and difficult times of jobs, financial hardships, poor choices made, etc. I truly consider them too all joy for bringing me to the place I am in life now and where I'm headed. I have four wonderful kids various ages who I look at today with nuturing radiance and speak encouraging words to whenever I can and will always support and want the very best for them and trust they too will one day just look within and discover their true purpose in life's journey. I know it comes to people at different times and places, during those alone times, those sad and downtrodden times, during those times when "looking at the man in the mirror", asking yourself, "what are you doing with your life?", as I recall those moments for me. And as I came and continue to discover that the resolution to all of what life throws at you is right inside me and has been all along. Being blessed with a mother who has never ceased praying and meditating for her family, she perceives all things universally and has always been such a great inspiration in my life. She instilled in us no circumstance no matter how big or small can limit our full potential. She truly walks in compassion everyday. She is a matriarch, cultivator, bearer-of-life, and my first teacher of true love. Today I anticipate nothing less than extreme bliss always, a fruitful and ecstatic life that is energized and flourishing. To be in the service of and blessing others continously throughout my journey and to stay in the great company of like-minded spirits. Always in Bliss, Ceasar
