What a very profound, fantasic topic... I used to have so much time to study about authentic personality, but I still can grasp all of that.
I would like to begin with a quote from psycholoist Barry Schwartz, "The temptation to not choose is great in a world where there is a large number of options." This man do make a good point, we can't be everything we want to be. Like, can you imagine what happen to your twin brother if he was take from your family to somewhere far away, sure as a different country, and two of you meet in much later in life? Will his origial personality be completely different than your? Because of the whole nature versus nurture situation, I doubt it. Heck, you can choose either chicken or steak and become #2 or #3, but do that mean you will become #4 if you get to choose between two again, and become either #5 or #6, so on? I think so, but at same time you're still #1.
Has it ever occurred to you that there is an inner child within us that hasn't changed one bit? I met mine, and it was one of the most warm feelings I ever had. No matter what choice I made, wise or stupid, I'm still me.
Are You Actually the Original You?
