I was listening to a podcast recently and the guest speaker said “the things you do when nobody is watching is who you really are – not who you are in front of others”. I agree with the sentiment that it’s the way we are in private that says more about us than who we are in front of others. Do the things you do when you’re alone and nobody is watching, match up to who you say you…
“Drifting is the decision you’re making when you don’t make a decision about where you’re heading” I heard this statement in a podcast the other day and it really hit as a truth. A lot of people are coasting/drifting through life, day by day feeling like it’s Groundhog Day, without any real sense of purpose or meaning.

As I approach “mid life,” I notice that more and more people around me are starting to feel like they don’t know who they are anymore. The age milestone of 40 seems to bring with it a loss of identity for a lot of people. Relationship breakdowns, divorce, bring with it the loss of identity as a husband, wife, family unit.

“I am what I think others think I am.”Read that a few times and notice the power (and truth) in that statement.We live in a world based on a perception within a perception.We have all these perceptions (illusions and lies) about what our partner, boss, friend, parent etc thinks about us, and we act accordingly.Bit mad isn’t it?It means that most of the time, we aren’t being our true, authentic selves.Do we even know who our authentic self even is?Do…
