Are we afraid of our personal legend?  Do we fear the disappointments, the heartaches, the pitfalls and ever more, are we afraid we will be successful. We will not be able to bear the weight - the crown of success, so we give up and pay the price to follow someone else's legend. We starve for heroes. Don't believe me? Look around. Warren Buffet, Steve jobs, Elon musk....the list is endless. We starve for heroes. We envy their success and hope we could be a little or a lot like them.  We want to work with big titles in big firms, because we crave that recognition, in other words, we are paying the price, we traded our dreams for a false sense of security, from fear, until the next crash or global event comes that yanks us brutally out of our stupor. Some of us learn, most of us don't.  Am I making sense? Am I writing this because I feel a false sense of bravado or because I feel at this time of my life, with more than half spent and still no sign of creating my person...

Who or What is "I"? Is " I" an alphabet or is it more than an alphabet? Does it reflect the true self or a facet of the self? How easily we use the word "I" in every sentence.  By using a verb immediately following, we either create or limit our possibilities. So is "I" the source of creation or the reason for existence? We can easily describe our emotive and physical self with "I". So is "I" a state of being or a state of physical self? We can establish our patterns, our habits. So is "I" a description or a definition? Finding "I" is as simple as we want it to be or it can take a lifetime to decipher. So is "I" the simplest of truths or the most complex of riddles? #reflections #discovery #journey #mindfulness
