Your True Self

When we talk of character and goals, there is a myriad of options, conditions and motivations. That is why human behavior is so hard to catalogue. We want to improve ourselves, but at the same time, need to be true to ourselves. This can be a frustrating undertaking. When a job is incompatible with a person’s personality, it can be difficult. People we interact with day to day who have unreal expectations can cause stress. That is why religions and psychology can mess with people’s well-being  The further away the true person is from the expected person, the more frustration and instability there is. I am not saying that we should all be lazy or go on treks to find ourselves. But I do think we should take time every day and do the things we enjoy and celebrate the person we are. God made each of us into individuals on purpose and we don’t need to follow someone else’s format all the time. I enjoy singing. Some people in the past felt I could be famous. The thing is that I hate accolades and performing. It all seems disingenuous as compared to just privately playing and singing a song I enjoy. It is the same with writing. The more we do things just for the pure enjoyment without a carrot in front of us, the better it ends up. Don’t do anything for other people’s scrutiny, just compete with yourself. Do the best you can while enjoying your gifts the most. If it is annoying to others, guess they shouldn't be scrutinizing. So build, write, sing, dance, and create as though you yourself were the entire audience. The objective isn't to impress anyone; the product is your own satisfaction.
