Who are we, really?

 It seems like we are one person on the inside, and yet we often act like someone else. Can a good person do bad things? Can a bad person do good things? It's pretty confusing, isn't it?

Self discovery and awareness teaches us that we can change who we are by changing the things we do. We can become the kind of person we want to be by acting as if we are already that person. For example, if we want to be healthy, we can act as if we are a healthy person; that is, don't consume the things you know are not consistent with health, and don't hang out in places that open the door to temptation. If we want to be a caring person, we can do caring actions for others.

We are the person we feel like on the inside. We are also the person we act like on the outside. With personal development and awareness, we change how we think, feel, and act. We practice making changes in each of these areas, and every time we do well in one area, we help in the others too.
