You are magnificent. How
fortunate you have you! In other
words, no one can be a better
you than you can. You are the
you chosen to live life in the way
only you can live. Others are who
they are and couldn’t be you any
more than you could be who
they are. Yet, how often have
you thought to yourself that
you wish you could be someone
else, or more like someone else?
Why not ask instead how you
could be a better version of
you? You are the star of your
production.
Shakespeare
reminds us that the entire world
is a stage and we are players
in it. You have your unique
place and each role you play is
a dimension of you. Memorize
your lines and learn your roles
as you star in the play of your
life. If you don’t know your lines,
write them!
Finding yourself opens the
doors to the direction your
life can take. In the process of
discovery, here are three ways
to discover yourself:
First, stop comparing yourself
to others.
Being yourself
means honoring who you are
and respecting that person. As a
child you may have heard “why
can’t you be more like…?” There
is nothing wrong with the you
who you are. Your uniqueness
cannot be compared to anyone
else’s uniqueness. Focus on the
talent you were born with and
the skills you acquired in your
life’s journey.
Second, ask questions only
you can answer
. By asking
yourself specific questions
you ponder the answers that
lead you in your direction.
What is your personality? Do
you enjoy being with people,
