To deepen our understanding of human nature, we must not only accept the idea of the self, but of a cast of selves: the core self (observer); the agent self (observed) plus all the personal and social personae an agent self assumes; all the past selves the core self remembers; and finally, at the deepest level, the hidden self.
Robert McKee
No one thinks as little of you as you do. And no one thinks as often of you as you do. That’s an interesting combination. And can be a slippery slope if you’re not paying attention to what you’re thinking about you.**
Gabe Anderson
There’s a lot for you to think about when
you are thinking about you, but
there’s a difference between being either
too hard on yourself or over-indulgent, and
being truthful …
Accurate –
Something that takes more
than a lifetime with the endless
possibility of development –
We can never say “This is me, full stop”;
It seems that the apostle Paul believed
there to be other me-s to discover and grow: a
compassionate me
kind me
humble me
patient me
forbearing me
forgiving me
loving me –
All available to take for a spin.^
