You Cannot Not Be You

What we have to realize is that no matter what another person says, no matter how many arguments we get into, and no matter how much is stripped from us we will never be anyone else but us!

If we lose our confidence, if we are found out to be a coward or a liar or a cheat, then we will still be who we are.

We can lose our job, our dreams, our goals, our relationships, our attitude, and even our mentality, but at the end of all of that we will still be us!

What that means, who are, may change, but we will never loose this person standing next to us through everything we go through.

We will always have this security.

In German this is known as “Urvertrauen” a primal, or basic trust towards the world or ourselves.

Many people nowadays just seem to loose this trust in themselves.

They hold on so much to who they define themselves to be, to certain characteristics or achievements, because they believe who they are is at risk.

They define themselves by their job, relationship, by their love or by their passion, and if any of this were to be stripped away from them, they would fall into a big, dark abyss without anything to hold onto anymore.
