Being who YOU are meant to BE
And this above all, to thine own self be true.
And it must follow as night the day,
thou canst not be false to any man.
--Shakespeare
"To thine own self be true." "Live the life you were meant to live." "Be the person you were meant to be." These statements convey a wonderful truth - that when we go inside and trust our intuition, life opens before us. When we ignore our inner leanings, however, trouble arises.
Joe had a love of the outdoors but, like his father, he became addicted to his work. Though he built up a successful law practice, Joe felt creatively stifled and inwardly desolate. One day Joe was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Realizing he had nothing to lose, he decided to pursue his passion and hike the Pacific Coast trail. Six months later, the tumor had disappeared.
Trying to live out somebody else's life script is like putting a size 10 foot into a size 7 shoe. The size simply does not fit. No matter how hard you force yourself to adjust to your situation, the discomfort continues.
Why not start off with the right fit? Acknowledge your unique gifts and talents, as well as your wants and needs. Then seek out situations and cir****tances that will allow them their full expression. This route may take time, but the results are worth it - a life of peace and fulfillment that comes from being true to yourself.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Amen........when we stop trying to please others and what they exspect from us we become true to ourselves and all that pressure is gone....I am just so sorry it took so long for that to happen in my life I waisted so many years caring what other people think of me or how I looked, or what I was doing in my life...............now the only one who needs to approve is God, and he doesn't make junk.........................
I know this to be sooo true. I am in a job that I hate. I never wanted this job and didn't ask for it, but I'm so good at it they won't let me move onto something else. I feel like life is being sucked out me in this crappy left brain job (I am sooo right brain it isn't even funny). I keep hoping that I will find something that will fit me for the real me.
Keep hoping, but take any and all action necessary, as I learned a long time ago, God helps those that help themselves. . . I am responsible for my part in things, taking action is all I need do, the results are God's answer to things, but I keep taking action. Unfortunately, jobwise it's tough out there these days, but something will happen if we just keep moving forward and believe in the possibilities. . .

Well, I am looking for something else and I am hoping closer to home... I can't imagine getting home at 6:30pm next year, fixing dinner, spending time with the girls, and helping Lore with homework... and my company is not flexable at all time wise... I work from 8:30 to 5... no if, ands or buts... crazy stupid crap. I could work from 7 to 3:30 easy... I am cash posting... I do my job at midnight and it wouldn't effect anyone or thing lol... so pray for this... I want out of the crazy house LOL@!!!!&&^!!!
This is good stuff.
But what if you don't know who "you" are? I honestly don't know.
I am a mom, a soon-to-be-wife, an employee, a student. This I all know. But I lose who *I* really am in all this.
I truly struggle with who I am. I am not sure. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it gives me the chance to explore more. But I do wish I already knew! LOL

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
