Who you are...

Dear Friends,
Who you are is very different than who you think you are, or who you want the world to think you are, or your life goals, or your frantic searching for your life purpose.

Who you are is vast, boundary-less, and connected to everything that exists.

Most of the time, we identify ourselves with a narrow version of ourselves. We know we are smart, so we want others to know we are smart. When something important needs to be done, we consider ourselves the best person for the job. We want to be seen as a nice person, so we make sure we look all put together, present a smile (even when we don't feel like it), and always use our best manners - according to our own standards, of course. We like to be known as industrious, so when something needs to be done, our hand is the first hand in there, making sure the job gets done.

None of these things is really who you are, however.

Spend a few moments today remembering and sinking into who you really are.

Warmly,
meb
