Something I read today
Something I read today
I was reading the Daily Express and this was the start of Carole Ann Rice's column today:
"The Shakespearean quote, "To thine own self be true" is one of those sayings that loses its potency through common use. Who else are we to be true to if not ourselves? But knowing who we are, what we want and what we stand for can be a lifetime's journey. We never get to the end of ourselves.
"There is a huge responsibility for each of us to know who we are and to follow our own path and not get lost in the comfort but cowardice of the herd. There is also great reward for those who dare to discover their unique path and life's purpose: living for one's values makes for a life of authenticity and integrity."
Beautiful and I couldn't have said it any better myself. The rest of the article goes on to give some examples.

I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

It's not often that anyone thinks they read something beautiful in the Express!
