(Photos are some of the people that keep me honest - kids and grandkids)
You
are never better at doing anything than you are at being yourself.
Who are we
really? Are we the same person all the
time and with everyone? Or are we sometimes different around different people
and groups – trying to fit in, stand out, or disappear?
I’ve always
wrestled with those questions, but one thing I know for sure - when we are with
people we love and trust the most, we are just exactly who we are – our true
self, no more, no less.
Sometimes,
that comes out as goodness, sometimes badness, because none of us is perfect and
we always hurt the ones we love, but hurting the ones we love is #21 of my 100
things, so we’ll save that one for later.
What I want
to tell my children and grandchildren today is to be your good true self,
because it is then you are the Olympic, Pulitzer and Academy award winner – doing the thing you do the very best.
