To try and definitively find yourself
Is like trying to catch your own shadow–
As soon as you’ve lunged at it,
It is in a different place entirely;
So I seek not to find myself,
Rather to try and listen to myself,
And accept myself as I am.

thanks mom I love you!
Mmm, interesting.. but what if you want to change who you are? Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving Isabella:) and good question! I think that is part of listening to yourself and accepting yourself is listening to what you want and accepting yourself when you decide to change as your focus does!
Nailed it again Mr McGeown.
Thank you Barb:)
Shadow boxing: it’s always yourself that you’re outfoxing. Good one!
Greta post Christopher, the moment we except ourself as we are then the changes that we want within our self becomes more easier.
