Defining Your Authentic Self

Quote From: grub48

This weekend my wife asked me a question and it went something like this: 

  

"If you could have one thing in the whole world what would it be?" 

  

Well the answer took less than 20 seconds to come to me.  I replied  

  

"To have an enduring sense and feeling of peace" 

  

I believe that if we have truly found what Dr Phil calls our authentic self then we have that sense and feeling.  If we are true to and within our self then the world can be welcome but does not afflict us with its sham and drudgery because we can move on through and with it all. 

  

The morning brings a new day full of possibility and wonder - fill the day - each of its moments - with anything at all - the experience and beauty is yours to define 

I catch your drift, but just because we are strong & able to cope, doesn't mean that there won't be challenges or that a day won't come where we find our imperfect selves struggling with something in particular. So.....I guess what I am trying to say is that we never gratuate from this effort of ours to have our true authentic self complete & whole forever. I guess that is why we continue to strive for that balance in our lives.
