A meme that says "Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions. By Emily McDowell

How do you find yourself?

I love this graphic.

It captures what we are all experiencing right now.

People feel lost, and they feel disconnected.

But instead of searching for ourselves, we need to do some remembering.

By slowing down, by thinking differently, and by going back to what you know is true about you.

That’s where you’ll find what you have been missing the last little while, those things you love most about you.

And the things you love most about connecting with others.

We are wired to connect, and somehow in the last couple years, amidst this collective chaos, we have forgotten that.

“You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket.”

You are right there underneath all the things that have taken your attention, or changed how you react to the world, or how you have been able to interact with others.

I love when I can help people remember who they are.

Not find who they are.

Remember.

It’s the most important part of our work.

When we can do that, remember who we are and we we want to be, we interact differently.

We cooperate better.

We support each other better.

And then we grow.

This is our magic.
