Today: Name one thing that is True about yourself

This is harder than it sounds.
There are things we hope are true about ourselves.
There are people we often hope to act like, or resemble, or be like.
There are faces and masks we put on depending on who's standing in front of us.
Knowing what is true about us is a difficult thing.
It's something we probably knew as a child, but forgot during adolescence, or another time when the pressure outside us to perform a certain way, or live up to someone elses expectations dominated how we lived and understood ourselves.

Today, most of us struggle to know something that we can say with certainty is true about us.
Today, most of us struggle thru life attempting to answer this question in a lot of troublesome ways.

Are we really what our parent's told us?
Are we really the sum of our report cards in school?
Are we really defined by our kids?
Is our identity wound up in our possessions?
Or our work ethic? or our current economic status?
Are we really the sum total of our relationships?
or the friends we keep?

Does it feel like it changes? What is true about you, has always been true about you. But maybe you've forgotten, or been confused along the way.

Think about this for a while. Let is saturate your thoughts. It may haunt you, but answering will free you in ways you've only dreamed.

Today, name one thing that is true about yourself.
