Being true to oneself takes courage and is liberating. I was watching an Oprah show where she said that unless we are true to ourselves, we will never grow into the fullness of our being. How true. For years, I spent time in Corporate America working in a high-rise skyscraper which was beautiful at night when I would look out of the window, and see the lights of the surrounding buildings illuminating the sky, but my career was suppressing my soul; so, I left after 23 years into the unknown.  I finally set myself free to reclaim my soul.   
 
 
 
I am sharing a few quotes that I found inspiring:

Any life, no matter how long and complex it may be, is made up of a single moment–the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.–Jorge Luis Borges
 
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. —Howard Thurman
