Follow Your Bliss

If you're into reading the self-improvement /self-development stuff then
you probably won't want to read this post (or perhaps this blog) because
what you'll find here is the antithesis of all that.  If anything, this
weblog is about a radical Self-acceptance.

Have you noticed that there seems to be an ever increasing number of self
help gurus appearing on the web and in print?  There's probably not a
'nice' way to say this, but I think the idea of self-development is
probably the most insidiously disempowering concept we have ever created. 
The notion and pursuit of self-improvement in its many forms is the single
mad idea that cements our belief that we are somehow created less than
perfect.   

Where else in the natural world you ever find such a crazy notion.Does a
rose, a bear or a butterfly strive to better itself?  No they don't.  They
play and just enjoying doing what they do..... and as they do, they
naturally learn, grow and blossom.
