Thought for today: March 13, 2015

Be Yourself – accomplish your dreams! – sounds obvious, but not really. How often do you think, “I’m not as good as…they won’t like me…or accept me…? Then the merry-go-round of “who do I need to be to be with you? It’s exhausting. Just be yourself. Think of Mahatma Gandhi. When he was asked what he would wear if invited to visit the British Prime Minister, he replied that he would wear what he always did, his dhoti. He said that to wear a suit would be thoroughly inauthentic. Hmm. He did attend that meeting in his dhoti and we all know what he accomplished being himself.
