Be who you are by realizing that you are not who you think.
" We all have a picture of ourselves in our minds. A picture of what we believe we look like. A picture we choose to believe, no matter what.
We can cling to this idea all we want, but that will not make it true. This is not easy to realize and even harder to accept, but its an important step toward a conscious life.
I believe that we all go through dark phases when the image of ourselves breaks and we start thinking less of ourselves. This phase can pass after some time if we let it, but if we insist on clinging to the picture of ourselves in our minds, it will get harder to get through it.
The good news is: you are whoever you choose to be.
Its not a coincidence that all the great spiritual masters spoke about detaching from our thoughts. Our thoughts do not represent reality. We are the ones who choose to believe they are real, when, in fact, they have nothing to do with reality. "
