Working on Me

So I'm deep into this book, and can't begin to tell you how profound it is. I began it with my mind totally open to change because that's what this book is supposed to do... it's supposed to make you want to change yourself. So now I'm working on me, not an easy task. I've spent my life as most have; living by the paradigms that society has taught us to live by... to have the personality that the world tells us to have, to shape our lives around the priorities that are valued by the norms of others, to forget about character at our core and to program ourselves to be what the world tells us to be. And that way of life.... the way that most of us have resigned ourselves to is what is leaving us with a bad taste in our mouths. When is the last time you sat down and examined your life? Who or what is your life centered around? What do you spend most of your time on? Do you feel fulfilled? What about your relationships with others? What about your kids? How are you raising them? Are they going to turn out to be productive interdependent members of society? I will stop there... I know that's a lot to think about. But, really if you can't read this book at least examine how you are living your life, and more importantly if you have children, examine the principles that you are living before them and ask yourself if they continue on the track that you have set for them, who are they going to be?
