As for your last remark, I have do disagree with you. I am willing to bet that if the theory of relativity was your passion, that would not be the case. :) @Paul Maurice Martin

I do have to say though that I'm pretty sure that even with all the time in the world, I probably wouldn't have come up with the theory of relativity - or even be able to understand it, lol...

Thank you! “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” ~Ghandi “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~Lao Tzu For years I was comparing my insides with other's outsides. Afraid to be true to myself... why? Because if I accept myself and my flaws, I'm responsible. And if I'm responsible, that means I have to do something about it. Not until the pain of the things were outweighed the fear of real change was I able to move from acceptance into action. Reminds me of why I was stuck for so long. There were two things I hated: The way things were, and change. Great post! Thank you!

And just to be clear, I hope it did not come across like I am not still constantly working on it as well. I think the more we become aware of it, the easier the battle to trust becomes. @Nathalie

I find it hard for me not to "seek approval" and it's something I'm constantly working on. I do feel more powerful when I listen to that internal voice within.
