Be Your Best Self

It's been almost a year since I've written anything here. I've been busy with Grad school and family that it was hard for me to have a spare moment of reflection. I also realized that my journey I started 5 years ago has shifted. I spent the last 5 years on this blog discovering who I am and now I think it's time to simply be that person. I spent so much time reflecting on how to become a better, more loving human being that it completely escaped me that to become that person I must be my best self.

I believe that most people struggle with being their best self because they're not comfortable in their own skin. To analyze the darkest part of ourselves is too much for some people. And that's ok. It is all a part of being human. Once we accept our frailty, our faults, our humanness we can begin to overcome the darkest part of ourselves and be our best self. We can begin embracing the beauty of what we can be, the enormous potential in being you. You're the best person who can be you, no one can play that part better than yourself. Just remember that each of us are unique cosmic events, there never has been nor ever will be another you or another me. So why not be your best self?

Well put Sam! You sound somewhat like another good friend of mine, Jim Palmer. Jim also says be "your best self". Really like Jim's writings. I got to meet him in person about a month ago and spend an hour and a half discussing life. I plan on doing the same with you someday!

Sam, I've really missed your voice in the blogosphere! I hope you will be able to find more time to post a little something now and then.

@Don, I would very much like to meet you in person someday as well.

@Doug, It's good to be back. I just wish I had more time. Grad school is very rewarding so far but lots of busy work.

@Ron, It's good to be back and great to hear from you.
