Our culture encourages conformity, and those who conform routinely find their unrealistic expectations of acceptance and reward unfulfilled. At the end we face death and the question: "What did I live for?" Our answer to this is most important.
There are many personal development books and courses, and apart from the religious apologetics, all encourage us to step out from behind the façade of pretence and expectation to find and live our own lives authentically as ourselves. Not seeking to be what we think others might want us to be, but who we want to be in our innermost heart.
Choosing to be responsible for ourselves has a downside — there is a shortage of others to blame for our discontent — but the remedial decision to do things differently is quickly made.
Daring to admit our own desires and to live our lives being responsible for them is the burden of these pages.
