Be One Person And Appreciate Life To The Full

Just be yourself

In life be one person.

In life we go about our business each day. At times we consider how we act and other times we do not. Sometimes we consider our attitude and how we can improve it, while other times this is far removed from our radar.

We meet many different people each day. We do many things from tasks each day. We accomplish many different things each day.

But have we ever noticed how we act each day? Have we ever noticed how we deal with other people in each day, and the differences between different people, too?

Have we ever noticed how we deal with different situations each day? Are we at all bothered by the differences we might see in the way we act or do not act in different circumstances and situations?

I observed of myself many years ago that it appeared that I was a number of different people. And yet I was also aware that I was just one person. How could this confusion arises I asked myself?

It took me a long time to realize that it seemed I was actually different people at different times in different situations are on the same day. To be one person was right out of the window.

This meant that I seemed to be one person when I woke up in the morning, when I got to work this person might continue, but then the second person seemed to materialize.

At lunchtime if I went down the canteen and met some friends a third person seemed to do the talking and the acting. Then on the way home in the car yet another person seemed to be driving me down the road back home.

Then in the evening if I went down my chess club yet another person was living in my body and acting at my life.

Another day, if I went to see my parents to see how they're getting on and then spend some time with them, yet another person seemed to be doing the talking and experiencing and living.

This seemed to occur for many years almost without my knowing it all realizing it. Perhaps I'm just slow I tell myself now, why was this happening and I was not understanding nor recognizing what was taking place.

But once recognized I couldn't see this seemingly smooth transformation I was making in different circumstances and with different people. It got me wondering why I was acting this way.

(Postscript - I vowed to change this and be the same and one person, whatever I did.)

All best,
Martin
