Defining the Self

 Many say that through age we get to know ourselves, our likes and dislikes, our passion, our true inner character...Often, we look to defining ourselves with labels to help create our sense of Self...Do we need to define ourselves to truly... BE? It can be perceived that the more we seek to define ourselves the more we feed our egoic minds...Through definition, we feel great, we seek solice in knowing and hoping that others see the same definition we have created for ourselves.  Perhaps the more we actively seek who we are the more we are further driven away from our true characters.  I believe to find our sense of Self we should not involve much thought or planning...this would just be a mere fabrication of our true selves...


"Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.  When you fully accept that you don't know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you are than thought could ever be." 

     -Eckhart Tolle
