That opening quote by Buckminster Fuller explains why we’re all unique.

Knowing who you truly are and acting on that basis makes decision-making easy because it brings forth a profound clarity that never comes to copycats.

What if who you are is way beyond what you think yourself to be?

Life does that to us all. Our urge to fit in often dilutes and dulls our natural distinctiveness and that erosion blocks our happiness.

Many look but fail to find an elusive life purpose but what if your purpose is simply to be who you are in every possible way?

You know that life is often a mystery. But did you know that being who you are naturally gives you the courage to embrace the inevitable unknown?

What if fear and doubt exists because you’re being far less than you could be? Life only delivers trying circumstances to us that match our capacity to handle them. So if life feels too hard that’s a clue that you aren’t being the powerhouse that you truly are.

Each of us is here to exude the radiance of our individual authenticity.

If it doesn’t bring you alive it’s not for you.

Life has always spoken to you by the experiences that you’re subconsciously lead to. What appears random never was.

Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. ~ Parker .Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

Ask yourself this question every day. Who do I want to be today? Not what are my goals and not this is what I want to do. Instead ask and be. Who do I want to be today?

Your responses to that question will swiftly tell you what you need to know about being yourself.
