“We run away all the time to avoid coming face to face with ourselves” Unknown
When I work with clients it’s not unusual for them to share with me their desire for their lives to be different whilst they remain the same. What they fear - what we all fear - is coming face-to-face with ourselves, discovering who we really are, what we really want and therefore the true extent of our own unhappiness or dissatisfaction. We spend so much of our formative years being the person others want us to be that it’s both difficult and scary to take the bold step of discovery but for those brave enough to do so they are rewarded with happiness, liberation and paradoxically self-acceptance.
