To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

One of the things few people know is that shyness itself is not a disorder but it is rather an escape mechanism that people use to run from certain problems such as lack of self-esteem.

You acted on something stronger to you than sense, stronger than safety, stronger than judgment.
-- Caroline McHugh
This, according to Caroline, is what happens when you "happen on an Absolute."
She says that Absolutes are "what Martin Luther King Junior called the content of my character, and they govern every choice I make and everything I do."

People need labels to judge you, and if you don't judge yourself by the labels, you disempower them.

Knowing your absolutes not only helps you to express yourself, it gives you the criteria by which to judge yourself.

Love, Individuality, and Freedom are what I call my Absolutes, what Martin Luther King Junior called the content of my character, and they govern every choice I make and everything I do. How I parent my children. How I run my business. Where I buy my shoes. How I get dressed in the morning. They choose the movies I love and the people I befriend.

My commitment to myself and those around me is to live my deepest humanity, and to use that to be a contribution, so freedom doesn't just describe what I want for myself. It describes my world view and what I deem the most basic of human rights.

Feeling guilty is contingent on the past and fear depends on the future. If you live in the moment, neither are possible.

More than I can remember, women in particular made comments about being brave, only because they couldn't imagine their heads without hair.
-- Caroline McHugh
Bravery = doing what you can't imagine doing or being what you can't imagine being
Doing what you can't imagine doing or being what you can't imagine being => goals that your subconscious mind cares about

Think of as many labels as you can. You might be faced with twenty or thirty yous. Consider how much you're defined by them. How much of your sense of who you are is vested in each one? In which of your roles do you feel the most you? Most fulfilled? Most alive? Which of them do you feel most passionately about? Which do you feel are most important? Not in terms of priority but in terms of identity ... being a stranger is more a part of me than being a godmother.
-- Caroline McHugh
Priority versus Identity. You can spend much of your time being a son, a brother or even an engineer. But that does not have to define you.
