Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.”
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher’s Honest Man’s Fortune
After reading this of Self‐Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson – 1841, I immediately thought of this part of Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring
I have been reviewing my DMP, and how does it fit with my true self. The thing is that it’s still feel really clunky and off for me, even after reading it for 3 times every day. I have a real strong sense of who my “Future Self” is as an individual, but a lot of the Future Stuff and Events that is in my DMP feels out of place, or it’s not me as in now or in the Future Self sense.
It’s not that I don’t find anything about attending events, or going to new places I would love to go, or having a new place to live in ISN’T what I desire. I simply find it easier to view myself now and in the future tense, as whom I am as a person, and not by the stuff, events, and/or status that is in my DMP.
