The hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves. Who are we? Our family tells us, society tells us, laws and customs tell us. But what do we say? How do we get to that place of self-knowledge and conviction where we are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, This is who I am, this is what I believe, this is how I intend to live my life? How do we find our true calling, our soul companions, our destiny? Sadly many people dont. Many live unhappy and unfulfilled lives because they dont want to upset others. Those people who have already pigeonholed them into being who and what makes others comfortable. I believe this is a great tragedy. I believe that deep down inside their true calling is still there. It gnaws away at them, little by little whether they acknowledge it or not. They dont fulfill it because they fear what others think, and they fear failure. What if I have a go at this and I fail? My question is What if you have a go at this and you succeed? Isnt that worth some thought? Wont that thought get your juices flowing? Dont you have a dream that keeps you awake some nights? I know I do. I know who I am, even though the journey continues. I know who I want to be as a man, as a father, as my own person, in business, as a friend, as a mentor, as a partner. I am very confident with my position and the things I do. It doesnt mean everyone will like me, but it means the right people will like me. The people I want to be surrounded by. The people that fit into my tribe and I into theirs. Im not worried about spending time trying to make people like me, because if they dont like me for who I am then thats ok with me. I gave up trying to be all things to all people a long time ago. Now its your turn. What do you want to do? Who do you want to be? Who do you need to let go along the way? Its your turn. Seriously. Go get it. :-)
