[quote] Many believe our authentic selves are what we are deep inside. For humanity we are meant to become, and not like the rest of the animals of the world who simply follow their genetic codes. We can grasp principles of character, virtues, and skills. We can imagine possibilities and make them happen; our authentic nature is what we were meant to be if we developed our potential. We were meant to develop our better selves.[/quote]

I like our whole selves. I want my mediocrity to breathe without shame, and I want the people in my life to know they’re welcome and worthy even on the days their better selves are too tired to show up. But this is a lovely reminder of direction. It’s okay that we’re not always everything we can be, but it’s easy to forget that we [i]can[/i] be. I know I sure have, and I do believe that happiness lies in turning one’s face in that direction. Wonderful post to share! 😄🤗💕
