#393: Know Thyself, Be Thyself (Friday, July 11)

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. - the character Polonius in Hamlet


There are a lot of troubled, confused souls walking around in the world. But you don't know it, because they're like stripper cakes - pretty and perfect on the outside and hollow on the inside.

Sometimes when you don't have a clear conviction in who you are, it's easy to get caught up in other people's stuff or to be overwhelmed by negativity. Knowing oneself can also help you with your goals. After all, if you don't know who you are, how can you know where you want to go, and how can you partner with someone to help you get there?

This week's action: Meditate. Go to a meditation studio, or do it by yourself, but spend at least an hour just clearing your mind of all the clutter.
