It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"
You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
Stop Looking for Permission to Be Yourself. The true individual is no more concerned over what others may think of him or her than is the sun troubled by people complaining that it's too warm, or that it shines too bright!
Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.
