Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you!
There are a lot of similarities in this world and
people, places and things are put into categories by society because of the similarities.
However, regardless of the categorization
or similarities everyone and everything are unique in itself. In our daily walk through life we may run
across someone who has the same favorite color, or drive the same kind of
car. We meet people that like to do the
same fun things, and have the same hobbies.
We even meet people that have been through the same situations, tragedies,
or circumstances as us. But no matter
what the similarities, there is only one you.
Authenticity
is simply being true to one’s own personality, spirit or character. The privilege of a
lifetime is to become who you truly are. - C.G. Jung. Comparing yourself to others or conforming to
others expectations are traps set to steal your joy and they distract you from
your intended being. To become your authentic self, you must begin
by knowing yourself.
I challenge you this week to take note of your
behavior patterns and ask yourself why you do that thing that you do.
Next week we will dig deeper into
authenticity.
This above all:
To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
- Hamlet, Shakespeare
