Eric Handler asks: What is burning deep inside of you? If you could spread your personal message RIGHT NOW to 1 million people, what would you say?

“To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Be you.”

That was my response the minute I read this prompt.

A million people…that’s what I’d tell you: “Be You”

I’m not going to tell you why.
I’m not going to tell you how we’re not being our authentic selves.
I’m not going to tell you who you are in a manner that startles you into awareness.

But maybe I can tell you how to get there…

It came in the worlds to a song on my way to town today.

“How can I get you alone?”

I don’t want to meet the million to share my message. I don’t even want to get you alone. I do want you to be alone – every day, an hour or more, in peace and to think.

Think about your impulse.
Think about your ideals.
Think about – everything and get to know yourself.

In the hour do not beat yourself up. Do not let your thoughts run like a broken record. If you are disappointed and do not know why (or have an answer for change), then move your thoughts forward.

Now you are on a path to self-discovery.

Now you are learning to be you.

And when you know yourself, you can be yourself.

There is great power, great joy, great gifts to behold when you: “Be You.”
