Know Yourself

All that we learn mentally through our education and life has very little relevance to who we are and will become in the world and what happens to us. So often we are defined by that which can be measured externally; which part of the world we are born in to, which class within that country, the religion that we are told from birth to follow, how well we do in our education through our schooling or the hand-me-downs of our culture. All of these things are used by others to define us and tell us who we are and how we are perceived in this world, good or bad. But when do ‘You’ get a chance to be seen and acknowledged? People are so busy for the most part, unconsciously writing on the slate of who you are, that they and we forget to stop and see our true selves. The You that has been buried underneath all that is, the You that is real, not your social standing, your education, your religion, your skin colour, for you are truly more than that. Your job in the world is to get to know that person and then let them shine, for that You is greater by far than all the labels you wear, and is the You that will bring you the most peace and happiness in this experience called life. It’s the You that you need to come home to, the You that the world desperately needs to see show up in these unsettled times, the You that can and will make the difference, not only your own life but the lives of those that you love and those that you have yet to know. Above all other considerations, be Yourself.
