Now many of the choices you make, even your most important choices such as a spouse or a career, are really “their” choices. Even some of your good beliefs may not reflect your true being. For example, a person who has become a perfectly respectable lawyer may have been thwarted from expressing his true love of designing cars.  When this happens, as it does to many people, you must recognize that you are simply being a “copy” of other people’s expectations, and not your original self. You may have developed an entire personality and life that has little to do with your true self. This is like being the Biblical house built on sand. It must surely fall when it is stressed, one way or another. Certainly, this “copy” will never feel a sense of peace or fulfillment even if it manages to get by and even if it has all the material comforts of life.

By Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim, Author and Master Instructor

– When I first read this passage I started to realize, that “Oh my God”, without recognizing it all this time, I was trying to copy people around me that I admired.  I never really knew to try to find myself.  No one even brought that concept to my consciousness.  I never deeply asked myself, who am I?  Finally I was awake, and realized that I really want to know who I am.  I was no longer sleeping.  I realized that answering the question “Who am I?”, is the only way I can satisfy my deepest desires, and become the person that God wants me to be, the person I am supposed to be.

With all my heart and love and gratitude,
