be yourself, no matter what they say
Page 96 be yourself, no matter what they say. More important love who you are the real. You is wonderful and calm. The versions of you that you don’t like are actually those personas created by your ego. You are all you’ll ever need and all you’ll ever have.
— from Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue)
In the book
Aim at the right epitaph. Picture, honestly, the eulogy your closest friend would give at your funeral — imagine the four people who might speak, one from your family, one friend, one from your work, one from your community, and ask what they could truthfully say. Be yourself, no matter what anyone says, and love who you really are — the versions of you that you dislike are usually just costumes your ego stitched together. Then ask the question that organizes a whole life: how, and for what, do I want to be remembered? — Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue)
