It reminds me of the book by Henri Nouwen entitled <i>Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life.</i>. In it he looks at a person's internal movement, "from loneliness to solitude", a person's external human movement "from hostility to hospitality", and a person's movement toward God, "from illusion to prayer." I wish you well as you continue to explore your definition of self. You are thinking about important things.brdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999205528107936871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-40240866760100265272010-08-04T22:43:36.000-04:002010-08-04T22:43:36.000-04:00I ran across your blog as I am trying to define &q...I ran across your blog as I am trying to define "Who I want to Be". Consider my thoughts (Rough draft).<br /><br /><b><i>Who I Want to Be</i></b><br /><br /><i>Who I Want to Be</i> is defined by terms that define me and not describe what I look like, how I act, or what I possess.

Like Mark Twain said, (see above) there is much good in the worst of us and much bad in the best of us. Maybe to extend that we could say that when we are at our best, we can still be pretty bad and when we are at our worst, even then, there is hope for the good to explode forth. <br /><br />The Dalai Lama says: "It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come." <br /><br />Our dear husbands are the ones who live closest to us and see most intimately both our successes and failures in generating that good attitude, that good heart.<br /><br />I wish you great success.brdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999205528107936871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-32696155876659141092009-06-23T14:56:49.139-04:002009-06-23T14:56:49.139-04:00Dear BrD,
