"Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah."
- Richard Bach

This quote has got me thinking very hard today. There are areas of my life where I'm not being true to who I know myself to be. I've done it because it's easy - because I don't have to work hard to change, and the mask I wear is well-known, easy to maintain. But I'm doing this at the expense of who I am. Inside I often seethe with resentment, pounding on prison bars I've created with my own hands!

Do I have the strength to live what I know? Do I have the courage? I think I do... In small ways I've already started. The only road left is the big steps.
