It's vital that we examine our lives with honestly.
There is nothing empowering about lying to ourselves.
Are you performing for approval or are you being authentic?
Do you have the courage to let people see who you really are or do hide parts of yourself?
Do you have an attachment to what others think of you or are you free of concern?
Do you monitor your words or speak from your heart?
Do you have a fear of hurting others so you swallow your own feelings...
or do you trust that others can manage their feelings?
Are you brave enough to stand up for what you believe in or do you go with the crowd?
Do you try to be everything to everybody or do you put yourself first?
Do you think enough of yourself to stop all this insanity or...
do you feel so unworthy that you are willing to sell yourself short?

is like a river flowing.
She goes where she will without pretense
is like a river flowing.
She goes where she will without pretense
and arrives at her destination
prepared to be herself
and only herself ”
