Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints. It is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that's what maturity is all about. -OSHA .......... The other night I was reading over some of the things that I have written here. I have to say that this site has been refreshing. I write all the time, and today is the day before our nations independence. I cannot help but wonder about my own independence in my world. To me, the evaluation begins in the mind. There are things that I of course want to achieve, and I am still in the process of getting there. My mind though, my thoughts about what I want, where I want to go, how I want to be remembered, all of this feels stronger to me, than where I had been before. Recently I made a decision about love and relationships. I also decided what I am going to do about my finances and my working. My offline writing and the programme that I am doing, have all assisted me in being open enough to get where I am now, and I know that when I look back again, I shall know that this was the year that I turned an important corner.
