Know Yourself

Ordinarily, I find great inspiration from the outdoors and nature.  This weekend the birds were chirping up a storm, the wildflowers were blooming, the roses and peonies were blooming, and the ticks were in full attack mode.  And yet…Nothing.   No inspiration at all.

This weekend my inspiration came from a television fast food commercial.

The deep voice who usually bellows out “where’s the meat?” simply quoted a Philosopher (some say Socrates), “To find yourself, think for yourself”.

To Find yourself, Think for yourself.

In this season of fake news and Facebook reposts, I for one get very frustrated at perpetuated falsehoods.  People with good intent find the narrative that fits what they want to believe without considering the source and/or cross checking its accuracy with additional sources.

I am sure at one time or another we have all been guilty of “drinking the Kool Aid”.   

I believe we have an equally important responsibility to think for ourselves in matters that form the basis of our identity.  Who am I?  What is my truth? What do I value most? Those questions are ripe for a great deal of introspection.  Those are the questions that will result in AUTHENTICITY

To Find yourself, Think for yourself.

Much Love,
