authentic self


“We don’t always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what
we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts
at happiness fail…We are mute when it comes to naming
accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The
voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even
strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations. The
tongue of the original self is the language of the heart.”
— Julie Cameron
