Metaphorically trying to shout over an internal dialogue of who we believe we are vs who we wish we were or should be, usual results in mental turmoil.

Plus most of us have a pretty good bullshit detector that senses when, who someone is telling us they would like us to think they are, compared to the person that’s saying the words – which is often a world apart.

Most of our energy is spent trying to convince the world of who we wish we were, that we ‘are’ happy, successful, or the real popular one everyone seems to be trying to convince each other of now a days is that they are ‘living my dream’

……maybe on face book, but film your day and I bet its not so dreamy in reality a lot of the time. Its called real life and your wide awake more than dreaming.

I doubt, unlike a lot of people, eagles tell each other ‘I’m an eagle’ or lions tell each other ‘I’m a lion’. Why not? Because they are. They eat, shit and sleep like lions so not need to state the bleeding obvious! Maybe a antelope masquerading as a lion to avoid getting eaten may announce its self as a lion.

Far better perhaps to become aware of our weaknesses, except them, look at what we would like instead of those short comings, and focus in on our ‘genuine’ strengths to develop in areas we would like to excel in.
