You have taken the first step in finding your authentic self by coming to the boards and asking the question.
For many stories have a look in the Archives - however the journey that I started to find my authentic self commenced 3 years ago and whilst I am now comfortable within myself and my world I keep finding new things about myself - the journey will continue for me for the rest of my life.
And I think that is what it is all about for life is a journey and happiness is not a destination it is a part of the journey.
Like most of those who come here I worked on Dr Phil's Self Matters and Life Strategies books - the work was long and exhausting but the result - which was me and my authentic self - was worth it. Give it a try.
I think one of the main things to remember - is that you should not try to define yourself by what you do or where you live or what you have - the real and true definition of who you are lies deep within - not in superficial world.
Yeah i know that it doesn't matter what the superficial world thinks and well with a lot of things about me in my life it demonstrates that i am like so what if you don't like it. Then there is me who says you should have done better, that's not good enough, what's your problem and all those things that just say hey your not good enough you need to do better. It can be over the dumbest things that i get so mad at myself for and then i have already reacted to myself so well then haaaaa yeah..
I am so glad that I do matter but actually sometimes i feel kind of angry about it. I think that is really strange but haaaaaa yeah!!! Iknow that it is the me who is deep inside that defines me but i just have a real hard time seeing it no matter how many people tell all those things they see.
