Bring forth your best "I"

At every moment you choose yourself, but do you choose your self?
Body and soul contain a thousand possibilities out of which you may build many "I's."
But in only one of them is there congruence between the elector and the elected, only one which you will never find until you have excluded all those superficial feelings and possibilities of being and doing with which you toy out of curiosity or wonder or fear and which hinder you from casting anchor in the experience in the mystery of life and the consciousness of the talent entrusted in you and the wonder of you which is truly your "I."
