Becoming your true self is about embracing who you truly are versus what society expects you to be.
Unfortunately in growing up, most of us were taught to follow the expectations placed upon us by others, so as to fit in and survive.
So the real work in being yourself is stepping out beyond these expectations that many of us have become addicted to and discovering who you truly are, so that you can thrive.
Yes it can feel like being lost and alone in an unknown wilderness at first but eventually in time you will discover and find wondrous vistas within this wilderness, awaiting deep within you, within your wild heart.
