The moment you choose
to become like someone else,
you have prostituted yourself.
--Anthony De Mello
Your essential self,
who you are at your core,
is complete
and divine
and perfect.
Your essential self
is entirely unique
and utterly whole.
At that stable, eternal center,
there is nothing to change,
nothing to fix,
nothing to correct.
You and God are One.
