423: Be Your Self
What if we see ‘the self’ not as something fixed, but as an ongoing act of responsibility and ever-unfinished creation… a way we make ourselves by how we live, the choices we make, and the way of relating to others and the world that we follow?
This week’s conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
Episode Overview
00:00 Introduction to Turning Towards Life
02:44 Exploring the Source: Be Yourself
04:37 The Creative Act of Being Ourselves
08:09 FindingTribe and Belonging
15:20 The Power of Choice and Response
18:55 Gentleness and Boldness in Self-Creation
Here’s our source for this week:
Be Yourself
Really?
Which self?
The self you were when you were two years old, almost out of diapers?
The self you were when you were screaming with the fans at the big game?
The self you were after a long night?
How about this: Become the self you’d be proud to be. Hang out with people and ideas that help you become that self. Act like that self every chance you get.
