Growing up as a child, and well into my adulthood, I realize now, I was always trying to be what I thought others wanted me to be.
\nI came to realize that it wasn\u2019t even just one me!
\nIn fact, like most people, I found that I had all these different roles in my life and that each one of them seemed to require a different version of me.
\nAnd so I indulged this \u2018requirement\u2019 and I played the roles and became the person - or people! - I thought I needed to be.
\nBut through my own mindfulness practices and the self awareness that came from them, I realized that the best version of me was the one that played these roles.
\nIn other words, I realized that I could turn down the noise of the aversion and clinging that came from the roles themselves and I found that what was left was not just my happiness.
\nWhat was left was the true Art Burns.
\nAnd I feel now that I\u2019ve harnessed some kind of super power and I feel like I can accomplish anything!
\nIn today\u2019s episode, I talk about the roles we play and how all this works.
\nWould you like some help in finding the true you?
