27 years later I am finally beginning to understand how my mind works - Part 2
In the last newsletter, we explored how education, learning and even sleep significantly matter in our individual patterns of being. Let us dive into other elements that make us, us.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
I don’t think I am very good at making my resume. Majorly because I forget most of my ‘achievements’ or fail to understand the significance of something I have done. Blame it on the mind that’s drowned in philosophy, which has lost touch with the competitive race and also my mind plagued with imposter syndrome not valuing the worth. I have been a mentor, an inspiration or a guide to someone entering newly in the writing arena as a career, and I have gladly, proudly, watched them grow. All of this and you ask me on a random Wednesday afternoon if I did well in my career - I would be unsure. Reasons - I haven’t marked significant traditional benchmarks of the traditional timeline!
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.”
― Jim Morrison
