Learn to say no and stay true to yourself

October 2, 2009

Life is not as simple as we would like it to be. We live and work in a complex world with complex social structures. There is constant pressure on us to perform and act the way others would like us to be or behave. There is pressure from work, pressure from our family and pressure from our friends. They all want something from us. No wonder we find it difficult to stay true to ourselves.

How to find your True Self, be your Authentic Self

September 20, 2009

Have you ever played a role in your life? Like me, most likely you did; whether it was consciously or unconsciously. Human beings are great actors and play roles all the time. We are the actors in our own lives: Acting to be funny, acting to be tough, and acting to be liked by others.

The simple skills on how to communicate with people, how to be a successful, happy person and how to design our own lives are left out. What a waste!

The Naked Truth

May 10, 2009

We human beings like to hide as much as possible of our true nature. We try to hide our feelings, our emotions. Our sexuality. What our true intentions are. Our age. How much money we make. What our political opinion or world view is, if it is not in line with that of the majority. I can go on for hours with this list. The truth is that we like to give away as little as possible of our true, authentic self. Afraid that other people find out who truly we are.

Role playing and your authentic self

April 14, 2009

People play roles all the time. Some people identify with their jobs, being married, and others because of their (financial) status. But is this who they really are?
