Let’s aspire to be true to ourselves

Its been a very long since I wrote on my blog- something that I had started with an aim of helping myself understand my ‘self’ better and in the process help others benefit in their day to day issues. For the last few months the thought of not being able to connect to my self had been bothering me and the fact that in every counselling session I focus on making my client appreciate the importance of making time for what you ‘really’ want to do – something that I’m not following- was disturbing.

So , today I plan to break this pattern of procrastination by promising to my diary that I shall make some time twice a week to write something.

Here, I would like to share something beautiful I read.

The World Needs People...

Who cannot be bought;

Whose word is their bond;

Who put character above wealth;

Who possess opinions and a will;

Who are larger than their vocations;

Who do not hesitate to take chances;

Who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;

Who will be as honest in small things as in great things;

Who will make no compromise with wrong;

Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;

Who will not say they do it "because everybody else does it;"

Who are true to their friends through adversity as well as prosperity;

Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hard headedness are the best qualities for winning success;

Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular.
