Who are you really? What are you MEANT to do in your life?

Our sweet spot is the creation of authentic power. That's how we're all evolving. Now that everybody was born to live in human consciousness, which has occurred, and its ramifications are being felt—an experience that will be felt by everyone.?

There is a beautiful poem by the Spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez.?

I am not I.

I am this one

walking beside me whom I do not see,

whom at times I manage to visit,

and whom at other times I forget;

who remains calm and?

silent while I talk,

and forgives, gently, when I hate,

who walks where I am not,

who will remain standing when I die.

Juan Ramon Jimenez knew of the existence of a part of himself that was immortal, and millions of us require that sense that life has a meaning, that I have a purpose, that I am more than this mind and body, more than molecules, dendrites, neurons, and enzymes. I have a part of me that is immortal. The question becomes what now? Then, does perception not make us more kind or patient or caring or less angry? It makes us more aware, and when you get that sense because the answer for how you do that becomes elegantly simple. You will find the parts of your personality that don't want those things. It will become very familiar so that you can recognize them when they come up in you and you don't act on them.

I want to talk about understanding the authentic self. No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man, that is a quote from Heraclitus.??There is an essential foundational concept in personal development, and that's the concept of the authentic self. I hear from people as they interact and coach them. I see people coming up with this excuse as a defense mechanism. You could also call it a way of thinking or a model of the self, which goes something along these lines. Most people come back with this kind of thinking like not being a good student, not focusing on one thing at a time, that's not me leading others and being a leader, that's not me learning a new language, that's not me doing art or being creative, and the list goes on and on. I'm sure you got your one or two things that you think maybe you should be doing in your life, but then again, your mind says, but maybe that's not really me.
