a thought

in life you are, you show originality of thought, originality of spirit, initiative, creativity ... all should be born within, from love of self to love of others ... self realization is achieved by letting our talents flourish, by expressing genuine feelings and sentiment, by working to understand our truth

we must never aim to copy someone else, behave like someone else, pretend to be someone else, regardless of how admirable that person, real or imagined, may be--it is not you!! you will not grow, you will not attain self knowledge, if all you do is what someone else would do, or worse yet, what you think someone else wants you to do ...

if you follow that pattern of behavior, you will never achieve self knowledge, nor will you ever find true love ... if you are a "pretend person" or a "usurper," you have now placed a wall between you and the world -- happiness will never reach you and you will never be able to make someone else truly happy ... you cannot pretend your way into someone's hear--not for the long term anyway
