I am watching Oprah at the moment, and she said something that I thought was very much important in the sense that we have talked so much about changing ourselves and all that... She said that she had met a reporter that had interviewed her ten years ago or so. The reporter had said, "You haven't really changed, you have just become more of yourself."
I think that is a really beautiful thought. It isn’t about changing who you are, but becoming more of who you are. Of course we have to change the patterns that stop ourselves from becoming more of ourselves. It is also worth remembering that many women find themselves doing what we are doing in their 40s and 50s.
No, I just feel that line ringing some truth in me. BECOMING MORE OF MYSELF. That is what I am doing now. I am becoming myself. That is what matters. Not becoming more of what people want me to be, but becoming someone I will like and love. This also means becoming the painter and the writer that I am, but I will become more of those two. They will become a deeper part of me.
I love those moments of clarity. And this was one of them. I am not really after changing myself, only the ways I express myself in my life and in the world. I am going to work on becoming more of myself.

I like that too. Thinking of becoming more of ourselves as an ACT. Not changing who we are really, but changing how we manifest ourselves to the world.
