"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's
doing its best to make you somebody else,
is to fight the hardest battle you are ever
going to fight."
e.e. cummings
As a young professional we are pushing really hard to portray our best performance and attempt to successfully embrace every suggestion offered. At the same time, we have this inner battle going on, trying to convince our lovely selves that we can and will master the job.
As we mature, we begin to invest more in ourselves so that we can make better offerings to the world. Often times, the outside pressure does not align with the direction our inner spirit is flowing. With growing experience our confidence and curiosity pushes us forward into expanded parts of the self.
At some point in our life, we grow into the space where we are totally comfortable with who we are. We treat our selves with respect and use our inner light to shine on the paths of others still trying to find his or her way. We no longer use our energy to defend who we have become. Instead, we use our energy for creative ways to return goodness back into our complicated world.
