My self is genuine me. Trusting my self and going where self takes me may result in problems for me, such as my standing out as different from others and being criticized and possibly alone, but it results in a deep happiness. It typically takes courage for me to trust my self and go with my self, and it results in satisfaction and happiness which are worth the price. I think it was Janis Joplin who said don't compromise yourself, your all you've got. I've compromised my self plenty over the years which has typically resulted in a superficial fitting in, feeling cowardly and not being happy, and I've sometimes trusted and been myself which has resulted in feeling good about myself and experiencing a deep happiness. There's no doubt that for me, being myself is the road to happiness.
