We all seek to impress those around us, whether it's clothes, thoughts or attitude. But, it's with these things we can lose ourselves in those impressions. We'll find ourselves lost in the lie, lost in discovering who we are and not ever really finding out.
Living in Las Vegas I see it everyday. People buy a certain purse or a type of shoe, or this book or phone or that car. But in the end all we are is the things we've bought. We've never found true love because we've been hiding behind a facade of who we are.
Know ourselves and finding our true nature, our true selves is what we should be doing, not trying to impress those around us with the falsities of a trend or the life of buying things we'll never truly need or use.
Knowing all along that we're never as true to ourselves as we are in a dark room, surrounded by nothing but air.
Sit in a dark room, by yourself and you'll understand what I'm talking about. No sound, no sights, nothing but emptiness. After you've done this you'll discover yourself and you'll like yourself a lot better for having done it.
The dark room test is the closest you'll ever be to finding who you are. There's nothing around you to truly think of, no light to distract and no one to talk to but yourself. Have the conversation you've always wanted to have.
