@swirlie Brilliant advice; except for one thing, some of us take most of a lifetime figuring out who and what our self is.

As long as we're not focused on trying to emulate someone else, then we are being our 'self'. It's really that simple.

@swirlie Simple for many people, perhaps even most. It wasn't for me, and I didn't really realize it until half my life was gone.

..but waiting that long was the way it was suppose to be anyway. You came to this earth to learn of 'contrast', meaning black from white, light from dark, lesser from greater.
Had you known all about 'self' on your first day of high school, this lifetime would have resulted as a meaningless event in time. The fact that you are learning about 'contrast' now and learning about the contrast of 'self' now as well, is precisely when you are suppose to be learning it.
You spent the first half of your life knowing only the opposite of what you know now, which you needed to do to be able to recognize this latter half and therefore, validate what you are now experiencing of 'self' as being the polar opposite of what you had originally known about your 'self' in the beginning.
