Q: How do you "BE YOURSELF"?

It is all the rage these days to "be yourself", "be who you are", "find yourself", "look deep within your soul"... haaa ok that last one might have been a stretch.... but it is quite fascinating how obsessed people are with themselves. They think that if they find that ONE thing that they are awesome at, then they will be happy. Or they think if they just go with every ORIGINAL feeling and "be real" that they will be fulfilled. OR maybe they excuse their flaws as part of their personality in order to ignore the fact that there may in fact be something wrong with themselves..... ok I've been saying "they" a lot, but I am certainly guilty of "finding myself" as well. 

I must say it is a very appealing feeling. I mean it basically means we can say that nothing is WRONG about ourselves because it is A PART of who we are. "We were born this way".. as Lady GAGA would put it (very catchy tune, I might add). If nothing is wrong with us... we are pretty perfect.. and pretty dang arrogant. To spend your whole life "just being you" and "finding yourself" is a pretty selfish goal. LOok outside of yourself and look at the bigger purpose of life. You are 1 of 7 billion people... 

I would challenge anyone to stop "finding themselves" and start asking these questions:
Why are we even here on earth? What is the purpose? Is it just to find out who we are for 75 years and then die? I don't think so. There is something more.

A: In summarization, I would say look at the bigger questions in life and your ultimate fulfillment will come within the true answers found.
