The Art of Becoming: How Radical Honesty is Essential

Photo By RSKoon

Yes, I have a fascination for masks. I’ve mentioned that before, and unfortunately, it’s not going away. But there is a good reason for it.

Most of us wear one. Or more.

It’s tragic, but it’s true.

If you were raised in a home where you learned more about Who You Should Be versus Who You Truly are, if you went to school learning How To Pass Grade Levels By Doing What Other People Tell You To Do instead of learning How To Learn and Lead With Your Whole Unique Self, if you found work where you learn How To Do Tasks That Make Other People Rich in place of work where you learn How To Create Art That Changes Lives in whatever industry you find yourself in, you are in good company.

It’s the way of the Status Quo. And Status Quo is Never Revolutionary.

What is desperately needed are people who understand the Art of Becoming Who They Are so they can offer to the world what is uniquely theirs to give. Because the world needs our gifts. And there are no inconsequential gifts.

And we start on the path of Becoming by unmasking. We need to see clearly who we are. A radical honesty is required. And it’s a hell of a work. It’s hard and the road is uncomfortably narrow. There is no road map. There’s only Wisdom.
