Love this. There it was, right up on the wall of my hotel room at the W Hotel. Quite profound really. After having given it some thought (there isn’t much to do right now) I realize that we can create ourselves in many ways, not just by choosing what to wear and what to do with our hair. We create ourselves by exploring new music, meeting new people, traveling, trying new things (like blogging!) But even more importantly, we can create and define ourselves by choosing our own attitudes and deciding how to feel about the things that are happening around us or to us. Its not always easy, but we can do it.
Think about it.
What do you do to create yourself?
By learning from my friends.
I try to raise a child who is a person I think will take the world forward in a positive direction, who has respect for the environment and its people. Not a narrow-minded, intolerant asshole.

Cindy, that is creating two people! Jack, you must have very wise friends but you can create from within too! Go forth and create yourself people!!! 🙂
I found this post a bit thought provoking. Usually I come here and double check the syllables in your haikus and move along my merry way. But today you hit upon something I was thinking about anyway. I find I am happiest when my life is expanding. This must certainly be a form of creating yourself. But in truth my life has been getting smaller these past couple of years. Which is not to say I am unhappy… because I am not. But maybe I have ceased to “create myself” as well as I have in the past. Because certainly I should continue to create myself, ‘cuz I’d like to know where that leads. Food for thought. GREG
