Being you

I was bored today for a bit, I looked around, I went to the web of the old wise monster. I found something I liked and I wanted to share.

Genuine progress in moving the ball of human knowledge & understanding forward does not come from the work you do when you pretend to be someone you're not.
It comes from you being you.

I swear i would tell you if this wasn't true.
If there was a slick, intellectual, simplistic way to go forward i swear i would not hold back the knowledge of it from you.
There isn't.
When you try to be who you aren't into what inner resevoir are you reaching?
When you put your hand down into a yourself that doesn't exist, with what will it return?
There is one way forward.
It occurs inside you.
You become more of who you are.
You step forward on the feet that are yours.
You feel the bottom of whatever pool you walk into and tell us on the shore what only you know.

Read the whole entry here.
