[quote=Dr. Hershey-MH]The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are.
The second greatest challenge is being happy with what you find. [/quote]
It is really a great challenge to discover who we really are, we can easily judge other people but we cannot judge immediately ourselves, shall we say, sometimes, we are in denial on what we really are. Acceptance is one key.

Dominique, Good for you. It takes a strong and brave person to be on the journey of self reflection and awareness.

djesse, That is very insightful and so very true. Sometimes we are not ready to see certain things about ourselves...may be too painful. I think this thought can be a segue into the next quote....

"If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care." -Marvin J. Ashton

"If you know someone who's depressed please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation, depression just is, like the weather.
Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best things you will ever do."
That is one of the hardest things for people to accept: Their own self-worth.
If they only knew their core value. Their astounding nature rife with all possibilities! They would never be so hard on themselves. They would be infinitely grateful for who they are: All powerful, all creative, all love.
My own journey to this discovery was rocky and painful, but here I am.
