It's difficult to try to be what you are not. Being what you are doesn't require any effort. When you become wise, you accept yourself the way you are, and the complete acceptance of yourself becomes the complete acceptance of everyone else. ~ don Miguel Ruiz

Peru: The Dream of The Condor Sacred Valley Nov 22~Nov 29, 2010

such a simple concept. one that has always been true. but if you were raised like i was, to strive to "be better" it's easy to get caught up with the things you seemingly do or do not have.

how many of those things are even real?

my favorite part of this idea is the part that suggests that being yourself takes no effort. because really, do we have a choice? sure we put on different masks, play different roles, but it's always me at the end of the day. who else better to play me than me?

i'm just sayin'.
