Being True to Oneself

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sometimes I feel like I don't know who I am any more. I move through life like a log flowing down a river. I avoid running against the grain of life whenever possible just so I can maintain the harmony in my life. Yet it is a life I am not happy to be living.

So which is better? To placidly go about life morose and sullen or to go about kicking and screaming yet remaining true to myself? Perhaps I have already answered my own question.
