TRAPPED IN A ROLE?
“What is repugnant to every
human being is to be reckoned always as a member of a class and
not as an individual person.”
-- Dorothy L. Sayers
When we
are basically unconscious, we live according to social roles. We
perform as daughters, mothers, girlfriends, wives and partners,
employers and employees, as society expects us to.
As we grow
in awareness, we gain the freedom to bring our own unique
perspectives to these roles. We can express ourselves
authentically and creatively, without letting our roles dictate
how we should behave.
“Risk! Risk anything! Care
no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the
hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the
truth.”
-- Katherine Mansfield
“When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be.”
-- Lao Tzu
