“We worry that we are not original. And yet, the root word hidden in “original” is “origin”. We are each the origin of our originality. We need not strive to be different from what we are – rather, to be more fully what we are. Too often we seek to change our very nature, asking it to conform to some stereotypical ideal. How much better to explore and accept our true nature, to see the rivers, canyons and plains of our temperament as beautiful and varied emotional geography.”
“Today, I resolve not to change myself, but to accept myself. Today, I seek not to repress my nature but to express it.” – Julia Cameron, Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life
