Quote of the Day

‎"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." —George Bernard Shaw

I came across this, today, and thought I would share it. In a world where people are always trying to "find out" who they are, perhaps they should stop asking questions, and start making decisions. Of course, then I thought, "well, we're not trying to create ourselves, we're trying to align ourselves with who we were before we came here and who we want to become when we leave here, and that's not really creation, that's more like discovery." Then I decided that's exactly what Mr. Shaw was expressing with "creating" as compared to "finding," and then I felt good about the quote again. Phew. Enjoy.

Son, had some very similar pondering yesterday. Appreciated the insight and reminders of what/who we are.
