We strive to be our true selves, so who do we think we are? Do we believe we’re worthless rubbish, so don’t want to become our true selves?

Do we secretly believe we are a great hero or brilliant innovator, and so strive to become what we are not?

Perhaps we could just try, in this moment, to act kindly, love generously, be the best parent, partner, friend, or neighbor we can be, just for this instant, reading these words, caring for a child, laughing with a friend.

Life is made up of moments. In some moments we dream, and that is good. But in every moment, we take a step towards making that dream a reality. It is good to dream. It is not good to spend our life dreaming. Instead, let us focus on making every ‘now’ one perfect moment.
