you are so right, the more I read the more I agreed. Specially with this item: 7. Protect yourself.
“One drawback of an active mind is that one can always conceive alternate explanations which would make our scent a false one.” – Sherlock Holmes

I’m not going to disagree that cutting down on media consumption is a good thing. But I did get an epiphany about how exactly I wasn’t being true to myself from watching House MD. I think the programs that you choose to watch as well as the way you watch them counts for a lot. Love the article, it’s nice to be reassured that being more true to myself isn’t a selfish pursuit.

For a long time I have been a fan of Spartans philosophy: “don’t waste word”, so I will put it as simply as I can:

This is what I call: a LIFE CHANGER.

Thank you

Some zen buddhists would argue that the idea of an enduring identity is an illusion anyway. Certainly the identity that comes from a job, social status, material goods and whatnot is an illusion, for who do such people become when all those things are lost. Perhaps we should ask ourselves the question “Who am I when I have nothing?” At that point I think it comes down to the quality of our characters and the choices we make. Are you honest? Are you kind? Generous? or fearful, selfish and mean? Perhaps spending time alone can help some find who they are when there is nobody around expecting anything from them.

Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite fictional characters. I like the way he has been introduced here in this article. Sounds very much practical.

Great post Jonathan.

Happiness is all about uncovering our true identity and being REAL.

To be nobody but yourself – In a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight – and never stop fighting. E.E. Cummings

Good Read.
People have this belief that if only they can get this or they can get that, then they will be “HAPPY”. The problem is that there is no such place “Perfect Happiness”. This is why you have to learn to find happiness in the the journey to wherever you are headed.

The pursuit of happiness!!!
