Life Lived True

It’s not what we tell each other that can be most damaging, it’s what we tell ourselves and how much of it we strive to believe.

While it’s possible to fool some of the people some of the time it’s altogether impossible to fool ourselves all of the time.

As a general rule we spend far too much time and energy trying to convince ourselves that what we are seeing and hearing is what we want to see and hear despite knowing in both our head and heart that we are being untruthful to the person we know ourselves to be.

While we can choose whether or not to live with someone else we have no such luxury when it comes to the person that we are. For that reason alone it makes good sense to make a friend of ourselves.

Too much personal suffering is generated by a fractured relationship or simple dislike of the person we have become or the person we pretend to be.

It’s when we don’t know who we are that we are unable to know what we want, where we are, where we are headed or how to get there.

So many people who are feeling lost are first lost to themselves.

Self discovery leads to self realisation. But it’s worth it to become our true self.
