But what will be your statement in stead of about you… who are you!

No person can change that. Exactly, well said Alyss, thanks for stopping by! You are 100% correct – at the end of the day, you are either happy with yourself or you aren’t.

There exists, however, a trap in self-awareness in that we can spend so much time figuring out who we are we forget to actually <strong>do</strong> anything and spend all our time thinking and talking. I highly doubt, however, that you'd ever fall into this trap Glen. ;) Being self-aware is inherent if we want to turn off the autopilot and live out our dreams.

I never really thought about it that way before. You are 100% correct - at the end of the day, you are either happy with yourself or you aren't. No person can change that. The only person that has to live with you 24/7 is you. Being your true self on the inside should give one a sense of comfort and strength.

Due to my gaming habits, I stopped going out quite a lot and doing the things that actually meant something to me, including socialising with friends, so it has really taken it's toll. Rebuilding connections with my friends and sorting things out is definitely a reward in my eyes for giving up, I regret ever forgetting the things that actually meant something in my life, but I am fixing it now, and already making ammends. So would you say that acting upon my first thoughts/instincts would be sensible? I mean I think I understand what you are saying, that is not to resist it, so I would think that would be to act upon my thoughts before I doubt them, because essentially, any small amount of doubt inevitibly leads to resistance, and it's funny enough, even though I have seen this, I have let it take control so many times in my life now that I look back on things, including relationships, work, and just general oppurtunties that I had with things but lost because I doubted... well, resisted. I am just thinking though, sometimes I wonder if doubt is a good thing, but I just get confused more then, because I start to think 'ah, but maybe I am just thinking doubt can be a good thing because I am resisting the idea that it isn't good'. Not sure if that makes sense and it is probably silly, maybe I am thinking about it all too much within itself haha. In the past, I resisted a lot of things mainly out of fear of the results, a good example would be in the direction of relationships, telling someone how I feel about them (maybe this is a bad example, I am not sure), but I would resist telling them out of fear of well, what if it goes wrong. But I am starting to understand now that a lot of things are caused by doubt and resistance, and that I should live in the moment, I should have just told them, if it went wrong, well it went wrong, but I could have moved on from that, and lived in the moment. Again sorry for the long essay again, I am just starting to see things in a much bigger picture now that I am stepping back, clearing my mind and thinking about it. But it is for these reasons I am kind of understanding what you mean now, I should just stop resisting, I won't know the answer to anything if I don't ask, be it a job, relationship, or just any general oppurtunity, by resisting it, I just reduce any chance of anything happening, so I am going to start from now, going to just act on my instincts and see how things work out.
