I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.

The Person You Are Is Better Than The Ghost You Were
If the type of person you wish existed doesn't, then that is who you must become.
THIS is the secret I discovered three years ago. I've been trying to explain it to people ever since. Thank you for putting it more beautifully and simply than I ever could :) It makes me so, so happy that somebody else gets this.
normally i just read these but today i have to comment. this is beautiful, Iain, it's only one sentence, but it's so powerful i think today's post has inspired me to make some changes. changes for the better.
I just wanted to say thank you for writing. I know awhile back you questioned whether you would go on with the blog and I am so glad that you did. your passages put so much that I am feeling into words and make the bad days bearable as well as being truly inspirational. Thank you for being.
To look back - all we have are blurry reflections of who we thought we were then.
To look at now - everything is in motion. The person reflected in the mirror always moves out of frame.
Our futures... who we will be... are each and every one filled with infinite possibilities. You can, and will, become the person you wish to have in your life.
In time, what we where, lends to who we are now. This defines us, It is what the task, requires. It is only when the task is compleated that we remember who we rally are, then the journey continues. It is the knowledge of the love that is in us all that makes the destination so atractive.

ReplyDeleteAnd What if the God you believed in never existed?
ReplyDeleteGod exists. Look around you
ReplyDeleteIt is taking me a long time to be the person I want to be.
ReplyDeleteAnyways giving up was not that I ever wanted, so I'll keep trying.
there are far too many ghosts in the world.
ReplyDeletewho is then who to become?
If you are struggling to become the person you planned on becoming, it might be that your view of that person is too perfect.
ReplyDeleteWe all have flaws. Sometimes you can change them or improve them.
But some you just need to accept and laugh about.
What if the person I am is worst than the ghost I was.
ReplyDeletelove this! this blog is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for wrapping the truth up in your blog entries.

true
ReplyDeleteWow Iain! So true and spot on. xx
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeletejust like saying.. "if you want to do something right, you've got to do it yourself."
ReplyDeleteI wish it's as easy as it sounds. I want to be that person, but I don't know if I'm strong enough.
ReplyDeleteSurely. I agree.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when ppl leave comments and try to add to ur perfection. I'm better off not reading them.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Truer words have not been said
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteI became the person I wished I was, but people liked me more and I hated myself more.
