“Who Is the Person Who is YOURSELF?”
How many times have you thought, ‘Be yourself’? Or been told by another Just be yourself?
Really?
Yourself …
Which self?
The self you were when you were two years old, walking, starting to string sentences, discovering the word, NO.
The self you were when you attended your kids’ activities, cheering them on at the top of your lungs on the sidelines.
The self you were after an amazing evening when you were surrounded by close friends or one when you attended a thought-changing presentation.
The self you were after a long night with no sleep at the bedside of a loved one.
Hmmm … how about this: Become the self YOU WOULD be delighted to be.
To become that …
Encircle yourself with others that help you become that self.
Engage yourself with concepts and ideas that help you become that self.
Become that self every chance you can.
The result … true YOURSELF will come alive. Isn’t it time to welcome it?
