I’ve liked myself the best when I have been true to myself.

When I think with my head.

Feel with my heart.

And not the other way around.

When my life is not the “overnight Nielsen ratings” in an attempt to make more friends, curry more favor to ingratiate myself to others, make more money and accrue more power by being someone who I am not.

I start each day in front of the mirror while shaving by being grateful for the people in my life, looking deep into my own eyes to remind myself of who I really am and who I want to be and by dreaming of what my life could be with the day ahead that I am fortunate enough to have.

Sometimes it is difficult to be yourself.  God knows, there are pressures all around to be the employee the boss wants, the partner your spouse wants and the “success” society expects.

Everything we do to be a better person should be directly tied to everything we do to be the fine person we already are.

It takes courage to become the person you really are.  When we make it part of our daily routine, it is not only possible, but probable.
